Searching for lower insurance coverage rates for your Audi A8? Perplexed by the sheer number of insurance coverage companies? Many other drivers are as well. There are so many companies available that it can really be a difficult situation to find a cheaper company.
The best way we recommend to compare policy rates is to know all the major auto insurance companies participate in online systems to compare rate quotes. The only thing you need to do is give the companies some data like distance driven, how much education you have, whether you are married, and your general credit rating. Your rating data is sent automatically to many of the top insurers and they return quotes instantly.
When it comes to buying proper insurance coverage, there really is not a “best” method to buy coverage. Every insured’s situation is different.

Understanding the coverages of your insurance policy aids in choosing the right coverages for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement.
Coverage for medical expenses
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for immediate expenses for things like EMT expenses, funeral costs, nursing services, rehabilitation expenses and dental work. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Collision protection
Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision insurance covers things such as hitting a mailbox, colliding with another moving vehicle, colliding with a tree and damaging your car on a curb. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Comprehensive insurance
Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for things like vandalism, hail damage, fire damage, rock chips in glass and damage from flooding. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.
Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Audi A8.
Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time these coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.
Liability insurance
Liability coverage provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property in an accident. It protects you from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for your injuries or vehicle damage.
It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see liability limits of 50/100/50 which means a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Another option is one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which combines the three limits into one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability coverage protects against things like bail bonds, repair costs for stationary objects and legal defense fees. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.
