Car insurance companies don’t necessarily list all their discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so the following list contains a few of the more common in addition to some of the lesser obvious insurance savings.
Please keep in mind that most of the big mark downs will not be given to the entire policy premium. Some only reduce individual premiums such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. Despite the appearance that you could get a free insurance policy, companies wouldn’t make money that way. But any discount will help reduce the amount you have to pay.

When buying adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn’t really a “best” method to buy coverage. Every situation is different so your insurance needs to address that. For example, these questions can aid in determining whether or not you will benefit from professional help.
If it’s difficult to answer those questions but a few of them apply, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, complete this form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area. It’s fast, free and can provide invaluable advice.
Having a good grasp of your policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. Insurance terms can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Shown next are the normal coverages offered by insurance companies.
Comprehensive or Other Than Collision – This covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive insurance covers things such as a broken windshield, vandalism, fire damage, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and theft. The maximum payout your insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.
Collision – Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your A6 resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage pays for things such as driving through your garage door, hitting a parking meter, sustaining damage from a pot hole, damaging your car on a curb and crashing into a ditch. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Medical costs insurance – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for immediate expenses like hospital visits, pain medications and funeral costs. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
UM/UIM Coverage – Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea.
Liability coverages – This coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property in an accident. It protects you against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have limits of 100/300/100 which means a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, $300,000 for the entire accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery.
Liability coverage protects against things such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, court costs, repair costs for stationary objects and emergency aid. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.
Low-cost 2010 Audi A6 insurance is attainable online and from local agencies, and you need to comparison shop both to have the best rate selection. A few companies may not offer the ability to get a quote online and most of the time these smaller providers only sell coverage through independent insurance agents.
When you buy insurance online, never sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. In too many instances, an insured dropped uninsured motorist or liability limits only to regret at claim time that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. Your aim should be to find the BEST coverage at a price you can afford while still protecting your assets.
