Smaller companies may have the best rates
Popular insurance providers such as Allstate and Progressive regularly use ads in print and on television. They all seem to advertise the message about how much you will save if you switch your policy. How does every company charge less that you’re paying now? This is the way they can do it.
Insurance providers are able to cherry pick for the type of driver that will not have excessive claims. For instance, a profitable customer might have to be between the ages of 30 and 50, has never had a policy lapse, and drives a car with an anti-theft system. Any customer who meets those qualifications gets the lowest car insurance rates as well as save money with a new company.
Consumers who don’t measure up to this ideal profile may be required to pay a more expensive rate which leads to the customer buying from a different company. The trick is to say “customers that switch” not “all people who quote” save that kind of money. That’s the way companies can truthfully state the savings. Because of these techniques, it’s extremely important to do a rate comparison at every renewal. You cannot predict which company will have the best Audi S8 insurance in Phoenix.
Insurance coverages explained
Knowing the specifics of a insurance policy can be of help when determining the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.
UM/UIM Coverage – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and damage to your Audi S8.
Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required (15/30/10 in Arizona), their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.
Collision – Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage pays for things such as rolling your car, sustaining damage from a pot hole and damaging your car on a curb. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to choose a higher deductible on your S8 to save money on collision insurance.
Medical costs insurance – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for expenses such as chiropractic care, pain medications and ambulance fees. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Comprehensive or Other Than Collision – Comprehensive insurance covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims like rock chips in glass, hitting a bird, damage from a tornado or hurricane and hitting a deer. The highest amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Liability car insurance – Liability insurance will cover damage that occurs to other people or property in an accident. Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You might see liability limits of 15/30/10 which stand for a limit of $15,000 per injured person, a total of $30,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $10,000 of coverage for damaged property.
Liability coverage pays for claims such as legal defense fees, loss of income and medical expenses. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but you should buy as much as you can afford. Arizona state law requires minimum liability limits of 15/30/10 but it’s recommended drivers buy more coverage.
