Auto insurance data for an Audi Q5

The coverage table shown next covers estimates of insurance coverage prices for Audi Q5 models. Learning as much as possible about how auto insurance prices are figured is important for you to make informed decisions.

Data based on married female driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, $100 deductibles, and Arizona minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include multi-policy, safe-driver, claim-free, homeowner, and multi-vehicle. Premium costs do not factor in specific location which can affect coverage prices greatly.

Raise deductibles and save

When buying auto insurance, a common question is which deductible level should you buy. The tables below may help to conceptualize how much more you’ll pay of buying low and high deductibles. The first set of rates uses a $100 physical damage coverage deductible and the second set of prices uses a $500 deductible.

Prices above based on married male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, and Arizona minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include multi-policy, safe-driver, multi-vehicle, homeowner, and claim-free. Price estimates do not factor in Chandler location which can impact rates substantially.

Using the premium rates above, we can conclude that using a $100 deductible costs an average of $27 more each month or $324 annually than quoting the higher $500 deductible. Since you would have to pay $400 more out of your own pocket with a $500 deductible as compared to a $100 deductible, if you tend to average more than 15 months between claim filings, you would come out ahead if you opt for a higher deductible. Here’s the way this determination is made.

One thing to note is that higher deductibles results in having to pay to pay more out-of-pocket when you do file a claim. You need to have some funds available in order to pay the higher deductible in order to repair your vehicle.

The example below illustrates how choosing a deductible and can impact Audi Q5 insurance costs for each age group. The rates are based on a single female driver, full physical damage coverage, and no discounts are applied.

Impact of speeding/accidents on Chandler auto insurance rates

The diagram below demonstrates how speeding tickets and accidents influence Audi Q5 yearly insurance costs for different age groups of insureds. The price estimates are based on a single male driver, full physical damage coverage, $1,000 deductibles, and no policy discounts are applied.

Cost comparison with and without full coverage

The diagram below shows the comparison of Audi Q5 auto insurance rates with full physical damage coverage compared to only buying the minimum liability limits required in Arizona. The premiums assume no violations or claims, $100 deductibles, drivers are single, and no additional discounts are factored in.

When to stop buying full coverage

There is no set guideline to exclude full coverage, but there is a broad guideline. If the annual cost of your full coverage insurance is more than 10% of the replacement cost minus the deductible, then it might be time to buy liability only.

For example, let’s assume your Audi Q5 replacement cost is $6,000 and you have $1,000 deductibles. If your vehicle is totaled in an accident, the most your company will settle for is $5,000 after paying the physical damage deductible. If you are paying in excess of $500 a year for your policy with full coverage, then you might consider buying liability only.

There are some situations where only buying liability is not financially feasible. If you still have a lienholder on your title, you are required to maintain full coverage to protect the lienholder’s interest in the vehicle. Also, if your emergency fund is not enough to purchase a different vehicle in case of an accident, you should not buy liability only.

Three main reasons to buy insurance

Even though Chandler Q5 insurance rates can get expensive, maintaining insurance may not be optional for several reasons.

• Almost all states have mandatory insurance requirements which means you are required to buy a specific level of liability insurance coverage in order to drive the car legally. In Arizona these limits are 15/30/10 which means you must have $15,000 of bodily injury coverage per person, $30,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $10,000 of property damage coverage.
• If you took out a loan on your Audi Q5, it’s guaranteed your bank will force you to buy insurance to guarantee their interest in the vehicle. If you do not keep the policy in force, the lender may have to buy a policy to insure your Audi for a much higher rate and make you pay the higher premium.
• Insurance preserves your Audi and your assets. It will also pay for medical expenses that are the result of an accident. Liability coverage will also pay for a defense attorney if you are sued as the result of an accident. If your vehicle suffers damage from an accident or hail, collision and comprehensive coverages will pay all costs to repair after the deductible has been paid.

The benefits of having insurance greatly outweigh the cost, especially if you ever need it. But the average American driver is wasting up to $830 a year so you should quote and compare rates at least once a year to be sure current rates are still competitive.

Why You Might Pay Lower Rates in Chandler

Many things are part of the equation when premium rates are determined. Some factors are common sense such as your driving history, but other factors are not quite as obvious such as your marital status or your financial responsibility.

• Always keep your insurance in force – Having an insurance coverage lapse will be a sure-fire way to drive up your policy premiums. In addition to paying higher premiums, the inability to provide proof of insurance may earn you a revoked license or a big fine.
• Big cities mean more claims – Having an address in less populated areas of the country is a positive aspect if you are looking for the lowest rates. Lower population means reduced accidents. Drivers in populated Arizona areas tend to have more traffic problems and higher rates of accident claims. Longer commute distances means more chance of being in an accident.

• Do females or males drive better? – Over the last 50 years, statistics have shown that women are safer drivers than men. The data does not necessarily mean that males are worse at driving than females. Females and males cause accidents at a similar rate, but the men have accidents that have higher claims. Not only that, but men also have more aggressive citations like DWI (DUI) or reckless driving.

  The information below compares Audi Q5 insurance costs for male and female drivers. The information is based on no claims or driving violations, comp and collision included, $250 deductibles, drivers are not married, and no discounts are applied.

• Annual miles is a factor – The more miles you rack up on your Audi in a year’s time the more it will cost to insure it. Most companies price each vehicle’s coverage based upon how you use the vehicle. Cars and trucks that are left in the garage can get a lower rate as compared to vehicles used primarily for driving to work. Having an incorrect usage rating on your Q5 may be wasting your money. Double check that your policy states the correct usage for each vehicle, because it can save money.

• Audi Q5 insurance loss statistics – Insurance companies use past loss statistics for each vehicle to calculate a rate that will offset any claims. Vehicles that historically have high amounts or severity of claims will have increased rates.

  The table below shows the actual insurance loss data for Audi Q5 vehicles. For each coverage type, the loss probability for all vehicles compiled together is a value of 100. Percentage values below 100 suggest a positive loss record, while values over 100 point to more losses or an increased chance of a larger loss.

Get cheaper rates by taking advantage of discounts

Auto insurance companies do not advertise their entire list of discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so the list below details a few of the more common and the harder-to-find credits that may apply to you.

• Multi-Vehicle Discounts – Purchasing coverage when you have multiple vehicles on one policy qualifies for this discount.
• Include Life Insurance and Save – Larger insurance carriers have better car insurance rates if you take out some life insurance in addition to your auto policy.
• Air Bag Discount – Vehicles equipped with air bags may earn rate discounts of 25 to 30%.
• Accident Forgiveness Coverage – This one isn’t a discount, but a few companies such as Progressive, State Farm and GEICO allow you one accident before hitting you with a surcharge if you are claim-free prior to the accident.
• Claim Free – Chandler drivers who stay claim-free are rewarded with significantly better rates on Chandler auto insurance quote in comparison to drivers with a long claim history.
• Anti-theft System – Vehicles with anti-theft systems prevent vehicle theft and earn discounts up to 10% off your Chandler auto insurance quote.

Consumers should know that most discount credits are not given to the whole policy. Some only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like comprehensive or collision. Just because you may think you would end up receiving a 100% discount, that’s just not realistic. Any qualifying discounts will reduce your policy premium.

The chart below illustrates the comparison of Audi Q5 insurance prices with and without discounts applied to the premium. The costs are based on a male driver, no accidents or driving violations, Arizona state minimum liability limits, full physical damage coverage, and $100 deductibles. The first bar for each age group shows premium with no discounts. The second shows the rates with multi-policy, multi-car, marriage, claim-free, safe-driver, and homeowner discounts applied.
