How to save on 2008 Audi S8 insurance

Auto insurance companies do not list every available discount very clearly, so we break down some of the best known as well as the least known discounts you could be receiving. If you’re not getting every credit available, you are paying more than you should be.

  • Save over 55 – Older drivers may be able to get a discount up to 10% for S8 coverage.
  • Driver Safety – Taking part in a defensive driving course can save you 5% or more if you qualify.
  • Sign Early and Save – Select companies give a discount for buying a policy prior to your current policy expiration. It can save you around 10%.
  • Student Driver Training – Cut your cost by having your teen driver take driver’s ed class in school.
  • Use Seat Belts – Drivers who require all occupants to buckle their seat belts can save 10% or more off your medical payments premium.
  • New Car Discount – Buying coverage on a new vehicle can cost up to 25% less compared to insuring an older model.
  • Low Mileage – Keeping the miles down on your Audi could be rewarded with discounted rates on garaged vehicles.
  • Service Members Pay Less – Having a deployed family member may qualify for rate reductions.

Keep in mind that most of the big mark downs will not be given to the entire policy premium. The majority will only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as medical payments or collision. So when it seems like all the discounts add up to a free policy, it doesn’t quite work that way.

Companies that may offer these money-saving discounts may include but are not limited to:

It’s a good idea to ask each company how you can save money. All car insurance discounts might not apply in your state.

The coverage is in the details

Understanding the coverages of a insurance policy can help you determine the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Insurance terms can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find the normal coverages available from insurance companies.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your 2008 Audi S8.

Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Liability auto insurance – This can cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property in an accident. It protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see liability limits of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability coverage protects against claims like medical services, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and repair costs for stationary objects. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Collision – Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your S8 caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for claims such as colliding with another moving vehicle, backing into a parked car, colliding with a tree, crashing into a ditch and crashing into a building. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Comprehensive insurance – This coverage pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims like damage from flooding, a broken windshield, fire damage and theft. The maximum payout a insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for short-term medical expenses for hospital visits, EMT expenses and pain medications. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
