Auto Insurance Quotes for an Audi TT in Chandler

It’s safe to conclude that car insurance companies want to keep you from shopping around.

A recent survey discovered that drivers who compared price quotes annually saved $3,500 over four years compared to policyholders who never compared other company’s rates.

If finding the lowest rates on insurance is your objective, then having some knowledge of the best way to compare insurance can save time, money, and frustration.

The most effective way to find cheaper prices for auto insurance rates in Chandler is to begin comparing prices regularly from providers who can sell car insurance in Arizona. Rate comparisons can be done by following these guidelines.

1. Read and learn about what coverages are included in your policy and the steps you can take to keep rates low. Many rating factors that result in higher rates like getting speeding tickets and an unacceptable credit rating can be eliminated by making minor changes in your lifestyle. Keep reading for more ideas to help prevent costly coverage and find possible discounts that are available.
2. Request rate estimates from exclusive agents, independent agents, and direct providers. Exclusive agents and direct companies can give quotes from one company like Progressive or Farmers Insurance, while independent agencies can quote prices from many different companies.
3. Compare the new quotes to your existing rates to see if cheaper TT coverage is available in Chandler. If you can save some money and decide to switch, make sure there is no lapse between the expiration of your current policy and the new one.

An important note is that you’ll want to compare similar deductibles and liability limits on every price quote and and to get price quotes from every company you can. Doing this ensures a level playing field and the best price selection.

Auto insurance policy discounts for Audi TT insurance in Chandler

Car insurance can cost a lot, but there are discounts available that many consumers don’t even know exist. Some of these discounts will be visible at the time you complete a quote, but occasionally some discounts must be specifically requested before you get the savings. If you do not double check each discount possible, you may be paying too high a price.

• Discounts for Good Drivers – Accident-free drivers may save up to 50% more than their less cautious counterparts.
• Defensive Driving Course – Taking time to complete a course teaching safe driver skills could earn you a small percentage discount and easily pay for the cost of the class.
• Student Discounts – A discount for being a good student can be rewarded with saving of up to 25%. The good student discount can last up until you turn 25.
• Employee of Federal Government – Having worked for a branch of the government may qualify for a discount when you quote Chandler car insurance with a few auto insurance companies.
• Discount for Life Insurance – If the company offers life insurance, you could get a discounted premium rate on car insurance if you buy a life policy as well.
• Chandler Homeowners Discount – Owning a home in Chandler can earn you a little savings due to the fact that maintaining a home is proof of financial responsibility.
• Save with a New Car – Buying a new car instead of a used TT is cheaper because new vehicles keep occupants safer.

As a sidenote, most discounts do not apply to the entire cost. Some only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as liability and collision coverage. Even though it appears you can get free auto insurance, auto insurance companies aren’t that generous.

The illustration below illustrates the comparison of Audi TT premium costs with and without discounts applied. The rate quotes are based on a female driver, a clean driving record, no claims, Arizona state minimum liability limits, full coverage, and $1,000 deductibles. The first bar for each age group shows premium with no discounts. The second shows the rates with claim-free, homeowner, multi-policy, multi-car, safe-driver, and marriage discounts applied.

Auto insurance statistics and figures

The data table displayed below covers estimates of rate quotes for Audi TT models. Knowing how auto insurance premiums are determined can benefit drivers when making smart choices when purchasing an auto insurance policy.

Premium data assumes married female driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, $1000 deductibles, and Arizona minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include homeowner, claim-free, multi-vehicle, multi-policy, and safe-driver. Premium amounts do not factor in the specific area where the vehicle is garaged which can increase or decrease price quotes noticeably.

Where to set your deductibles

One common question asked by Chandler drivers is how high should the deductibles for physical damage be. The figures shown below lay out the difference in cost when you choose different insurance deductibles. The first rate estimation uses a $250 physical damage coverage deductible and the second data table uses a $1,000 deductible.

Table data represents married male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, and Arizona minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include safe-driver, multi-policy, homeowner, multi-vehicle, and claim-free. Rates do not factor in specific location information which can raise or lower rates substantially.

We can derive from the above data that using a $250 deductible costs an average of $30 more each month or $360 for a full year across all Audi TT models than buying the higher $1,000 deductible. Because you would pay $750 more out-of-pocket with a $1,000 deductible as compared to a $250 deductible, if you normally go more than 25 months between claim filings, you would most likely save money by going with a higher deductible.

Rate comparison of men versus women in Chandler

The example below illustrates the difference between Audi TT insurance prices for male and female drivers. The premiums assume no claims, a clean driving record, full coverage, $250 deductibles, drivers are single, and no discounts are applied.

Comparison of full coverage and liability-only policies

The diagram below visualizes the comparison of Audi TT auto insurance rates with and without full coverage. The price estimates are based on no claims or driving citations, $500 deductibles, marital status is single, and no discounts are applied.

When to eliminate full coverage

There is no exact formula for eliminating physical damage insurance, but there is a general guideline. If the annual cost of your full coverage insurance is about 10% or more of any settlement you would receive from your insurance company, then it may be the right time to buy liability only.

For example, let’s assume your Audi TT replacement cost is $6,000 and you have $1,000 physical damage deductibles. If your vehicle is damaged in an accident, the most you would receive is $5,000 after paying your deductible. If premium cost is more than $500 a year for comprehensive and collision coverage, then you may need to consider dropping full coverage.

There are a few cases where dropping full coverage is not a good idea. If you haven’t satisfied your loan, 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 if your current one is totaled, you should maintain full coverage.

When to get professional advice

Always remember that when buying insurance from an agent or online for your personal vehicles, there isn’t really a one size fits all plan. Your financial needs are unique.

Here are some questions about coverages that might help in determining if your situation might need an agent’s assistance.

• Can my teen driver be rated on a liability-only vehicle?
• Am I covered if I back into my garage door?
• Will my Audi TT be repaired with OEM or aftermarket parts?
• Is a blown tire covered by insurance?
• Am I covered by my spouse’s policy after a separation?
• Can my babysitter drive my car?

If you are wanting to purchase auto insurance from an insurance agent, there are two different types of agents to choose from. Auto insurance agencies are considered either independent (non-exclusive) or exclusive. Either one can write auto insurance policies, but it’s worth mentioning how they are different since it can impact buying decisions.

Independent Auto Insurance Agencies

These type of agents do not have single company limitations and that is an advantage because they can write policies through many different auto insurance companies and possibly get better coverage at lower prices. If they find a cheaper price, the agent simply finds a different carrier and you can keep the same agent.

If you need lower rates, you definitely need to check rates from at a minimum one independent agency for the best price selection.

More Chandler agents

• How much training do they have in personal risk management?

Protect your vehicle and other assets

Despite the potentially high cost of Audi TT insurance, insurance may be mandatory for several reasons.

• Almost all states have minimum mandated liability insurance limits which means the state requires a specific minimum amount of liability if you don’t want to risk a ticket. 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 bought your vehicle with a loan, most banks will stipulate that you buy insurance to ensure loan repayment if the vehicle is totaled. If coverage lapses or is canceled, the lender will be forced to insure your Audi for a lot more money and require you to reimburse them much more than you were paying before.
• Car insurance protects not only your Audi TT but also your financial assets. It will also provide coverage for medical expenses for yourself as well as anyone injured by you. Liability coverage, the one required by state law, will also pay for a defense attorney if someone files suit against you as the result of an accident. If you have damage to your Audi as the result of the weather or an accident, your policy will pay to repair the damage.

The benefits of insuring your car definitely exceed the price paid, specifically if you ever have a liability claim. As of last year, the average driver in Arizona is currently overpaying as much as $800 each year so compare rates at every renewal to be sure current rates are still competitive.

Specific coverages for an Audi TT

Knowing the specifics of your policy helps when choosing the right coverages for your vehicles. Car insurance terms can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Collision protection

Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with an object or car. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for claims such as colliding with another moving vehicle, rolling your car and hitting a mailbox. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to bump up the deductible on your TT to bring the cost down.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for expenses such as ambulance fees, dental work, funeral costs, chiropractic care and EMT expenses. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your Audi TT.

Due to the fact that many Arizona drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required (Arizona limits are 15/30/10), their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Frequently these limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Auto liability insurance

Liability coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to other people or property. This coverage protects you against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see policy limits of 15/30/10 which means a limit of $15,000 per injured person, a total of $30,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $10,000. Some companies may use a combined limit which combines the three limits into one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability insurance covers claims like repair costs for stationary objects, funeral expenses, medical services and loss of income. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but you should buy as large an amount as possible. Arizona requires drivers to carry at least 15/30/10 but you should think about purchasing more liability than the minimum.

The chart below shows why the minimum limit may not be adequate.

Comprehensive insurance

This coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things like hitting a bird, a broken windshield, hail damage, fire damage and rock chips in glass. The highest amount your car insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Compare insurance prices regularly to save

Lower-priced insurance in Chandler is definitely available on the web and also from your neighborhood Chandler agents, and you should compare rates from both to get a complete price analysis. A few companies may not have internet price quotes and most of the time these smaller providers prefer to sell through independent agents.

As you prepare to switch companies, it’s not a good idea to skimp on coverage in order to save money. In many instances, an insured dropped collision coverage only to regret they didn’t purchase enough coverage. The proper strategy is to find the BEST coverage at a price you can afford, but do not skimp to save money.

We covered a lot of tips how to save on Audi TT insurance in Chandler. The key concept to understand is the more quotes you get, the higher the chance of saving money. You may even be surprised to find that the lowest premium rates are with some of the smallest insurance companies.
