2009 Volkswagen CC Car Insurance Quotes

Trying to find cheaper insurance coverage rates for your Volkswagen CC? I really doubt anyone looks forward to buying insurance coverage, especially when they know their premiums are too high. Online insurance companies like State Farm, Allstate, Geico and Progressive all claim big savings, bombarding you with ads and it is challenging if not impossible to ignore the flying pigs and cute green geckos and take the time to shop coverage around.

Where can I get cheap car insurance?

Getting low cost 2009 Volkswagen CC car insurance pricing is surprisingly easy. The only thing you need to do is invest a little time to compare rate quotes online with multiple companies. Rate comparisons can be done using a couple different methods.

  • Probably the best way to get quotes is a comparison rater form (click to open form in new window). This method eliminates the need for repetitive form entry for each company. Filling out one form will get you price quotes direct from many companies.
  • A more time consuming way to compare prices requires a visit to the website for each individual company and go through the quote process again. For example, we’ll assume you want to compare Auto-Owners, Esurance and Geico. To find out each rate you need to navigate to each company’s site and repeatedly type in your coverage information, which can take a lot of time.

  • The hardest method of comparing rate quotes is making phone calls or going to insurance agencies in your area. Quoting online has reduced the need for local agents unless you require the professional advice of a local agent. Although you can comparison shop online but buy from a local insurance agent.

It’s up to you how you get prices quotes, just try to use apples-to-apples information with each company. If your comparisons have different liability limits it’s not possible to make a fair rate comparison.

What impacts Volkswagen CC insurance rates?

Many factors are taken into consideration when you get a price on insurance. Some are pretty understandable like an MVR report, but some are more transparent like where you live or your financial responsibility.

  • Cheaper auto insurance rates for prior coverage – Allowing your coverage to lapse is a sure-fire way to trigger a rate increase. Not only will you pay more, getting caught without coverage will get you a revoked license or a big fine. You may have to submit proof of financial responsibility or a SR-22 with your state DMV.
  • Married people drive safer – Having a spouse may cut your premiums when buying auto insurance. Having a significant other is viewed as being more mature than a single person it has been statistically shown that being married results in fewer claims.
  • Why do you need liability coverage? – Liability coverage will provide protection if ever you are responsible for causing damage or personal injury in an accident. It will provide legal defense to attempt to prove you were not liable. Liability is cheap compared to comp and collision, so drivers should buy more than the minimum limits required by law.
  • Better credit means lower costs – Your credit history is a large factor in your rate calculation. Insureds that have very high credit ratings tend to be more responsible and file fewer claims as compared to drivers with worse credit. If your credit is low, you may save money insuring your 2009 Volkswagen CC if you clean up your credit.

Lower your insurance rates with discounts

Some companies do not advertise the complete list of policy discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so here is a list a few of the more common and also the lesser-known insurance savings.

  • Organization Discounts – Joining specific professional or occupational memberships or organizations is a good way to get lower rates on your next renewal.
  • Paperwork-free – Some insurance companies provide a small discount just for signing your application digitally online.
  • No Claims – Insureds with no claims or accidents get the best insurance rates in comparison to drivers with a long claim history.
  • Pay Early and Save – By making one initial payment instead of making monthly payments you may have a lower total premium amount.
  • Employee of Federal Government – Simply working for the federal government could provide a small rate reduction on CC insurance depending on your company.
  • Driver Safety – Taking part in a safe driver course could earn you a small percentage discount and also improve your driving technique.
  • Theft Deterent Discount – Vehicles that have factory alarm systems and tracking devices are stolen less frequently and earn discounts up to 10% off your insurance coverage quote.
  • 55 and Retired – Seniors are able to get a small decrease in premiums on CC insurance.
  • Discounts for Multiple Vehicles – Drivers who insure primary and secondary vehicles with one company can reduce rates for all insured vehicles.

Keep in mind that some of the credits will not apply to the entire cost. Some only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as comp or med pay. Just because you may think adding up those discounts means a free policy, it’s just not the way it works.

Companies and their offered discounts are detailed below.

  • Geico offers premium reductions for military active duty, seat belt use, membership and employees, driver training, good student, anti-lock brakes, and federal employee.

You are unique and your car insurance should be too

Everyone’s situation is a little different and your policy should reflect that.

  • Is my business laptop covered if it gets stolen from my vehicle?
  • Do I need roadside assistance coverage?
  • Should I buy full coverage?
  • Do I have coverage when making deliveries for my home business?
  • How high should my medical payments coverage be?

Auto insurance coverage options for a Volkswagen CC

Knowing the specifics of your policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. These are the usual coverages found on most auto insurance policies.

Auto collision coverage

Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage protects against things such as colliding with another moving vehicle, sideswiping another vehicle and damaging your car on a curb. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked. Usually the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Liability

Liability coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 bodily injury coverage, $100,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Some companies may use one limit called combined single limit (CSL) that pays claims from the same limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability insurance covers things like pain and suffering, emergency aid and loss of income. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims such as fire damage, vandalism, a broken windshield and damage from flooding. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Medical expense insurance

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for expenses such as ambulance fees, rehabilitation expenses and nursing services. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover you and your occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

More comparisons equals lower rates

Budget-conscious 2009 Volkswagen CC insurance can be bought from both online companies as well as from independent agents, so you need to shop insurance coverage with both to have the best selection. Some insurance companies don’t offer the ability to get quotes online and usually these small insurance companies prefer to sell through independent insurance agencies.

When you buy insurance coverage online, never buy poor coverage just to save money. There are many occasions where someone sacrificed full coverage only to discover later that they should have had better coverage. The proper strategy is to buy the best coverage you can find at the best cost.
