2014 Audi S4 Insurance Quotes – 6 Ideas for Best Rates

Finding lower rates for auto insurance can be difficult for consumers new to comparison shopping online. You have so many companies to choose from that it can easily become a real challenge to locate the lowest price.

It’s a good idea to take a look at other company’s rates every six months because rates are rarely the same from one policy term to another. Even if you think you had the best price on S4 coverage a year ago you may be paying too much now. Forget all the misinformation about auto insurance because we’re going to demonstrate one of the quickest ways to find better coverage at a better price.

Don’t overlook these six discounts

Car insurance is not cheap, but you can get discounts to help offset the cost. Most are applied at the time you complete a quote, but lesser-known reductions have to be specifically requested prior to getting the savings.

  • Drivers Education – Make teen driver coverage more affordable by requiring them to complete a driver education course in high school.
  • Military Discounts – Being deployed with a military unit could be rewarded with lower premiums.
  • No Charge for an Accident – Certain companies permit an accident before your rates go up if you are claim-free for a set time period.
  • Low Mileage – Driving fewer miles could qualify for better rates on cars that stay parked.
  • Accident Free – Good drivers with no accidents can save substantially compared to accident-prone drivers.
  • Defensive Driver – Completing a course teaching defensive driving skills can save you 5% or more if you qualify.

It’s important to understand that most discount credits are not given the the whole policy. A few only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like liability, collision or medical payments. Even though it may seem like all those discounts means the company will pay you, it just doesn’t work that way. Any amount of discount will bring down the amount you have to pay.

Companies that possibly offer these benefits are:

It’s a good idea to ask every prospective company which discounts they offer. Some discounts may not be available everywhere.

Is my situation unique?

When it comes to choosing the right insurance coverage for your vehicles, there really is not a cookie cutter policy. Each situation is unique.

These are some specific questions might point out if you would benefit from an agent’s advice.

  • Will filing a claim cost me more?
  • Do I have coverage for damage caused while driving under the influence?
  • How high should deductibles be on a 2014 Audi S4?
  • Do I benefit by insuring my home with the same company?
  • How can I get my company to pay me more for my totalled car?
  • I have a DUI can I still get coverage?
  • Is extra glass coverage worth it?
  • Is my trailer covered?

If you can’t answer these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you might consider talking to an agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, complete this form.

Parts of your insurance policy

Understanding the coverages of your insurance policy helps when choosing the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like a broken windshield, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from flooding, hitting a deer and hail damage. The maximum payout a insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Auto liability

This provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people by causing an accident. It protects you from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have liability limits of 100/300/100 that translate to a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Alternatively, you may have a combined single limit or CSL which combines the three limits into one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability insurance covers claims such as pain and suffering, bail bonds and medical services. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.

Collision insurance

Collision insurance covers damage to your S4 resulting from a collision with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for things like hitting a parking meter, driving through your garage door and crashing into a building. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Audi S4.

Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Usually your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.

Insurance for medical payments

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses such as X-ray expenses, EMT expenses, surgery, funeral costs and doctor visits. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers you and your occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Be a Smart Shopper

We just showed you a lot of ways to compare 2014 Audi S4 insurance prices online. The most important thing to understand is the more rate quotes you have, the better likelihood of reducing your rate. Drivers may discover the best price on insurance is with the least-expected company.

When shopping online for insurance, never reduce coverage to reduce premium. In too many instances, an insured dropped physical damage coverage only to find out that it was a big mistake. The aim is to buy enough coverage at an affordable rate while still protecting your assets.

People change insurance companies for many reasons like delays in paying claims, lack of trust in their agent, being labeled a high risk driver or even extreme rates for teen drivers. Regardless of your reason for switching companies, choosing a new insurance company can be easier than you think.
