Auto insurance rates based on gender

The information below illustrates the difference between Audi A4 car insurance rates for male and female drivers. The data assumes no claims or driving citations, comp and collision included, $500 deductibles, single marital status, and no other discounts are factored in.

Audi A4 liability-only versus full coverage

The information below compares Audi A4 auto insurance rates with full physical damage coverage compared to only buying the minimum liability limits required in California. The costs are based on no claims or driving violations, $250 deductibles, single marital status, and no discounts are applied to the premium.

Deciding between full coverage and liability only

There is no specific rule for eliminating full coverage on your policy, but there is a guideline you can consider. If the yearly cost of comp and collision coverage is 10% or more of any settlement you would receive from your insurance company, then it may be the right time to buy liability only.

For example, let's say your Audi A4 claim settlement value is $8,000 and you have $1,000 physical damage deductibles. If your vehicle is damaged in an accident, the most your company will settle for is $7,000 after paying the physical damage deductible. If it's costing in excess of $700 a year to have full coverage, then you might consider buying liability only.

There are some scenarios where removing full coverage is not a good plan. If you have an outstanding loan on your vehicle, you must maintain physical damage coverage to protect the lienholder's interest in the vehicle. Also, if you don't have enough money to buy a different vehicle if your current one is damaged, you should not eliminate full coverage.

Find Cheaper Insurance with These Tips

An important part of buying insurance is that you know some of the things that play a part in calculating the price you pay for insurance. When you know what positively or negatively determines premiums, this helps enable you to make changes that will entitle you to lower premium levels.

• Advanced GPS tracking and theft deterrents - Owning a car that has an advanced theft prevention system can help lower your rates. Anti-theft features like OnStar, LoJack tracking, and tamper alarms all help prevent car theft.
• Do you have enough liability insurance? - Your policy's liability coverage will protect you in the event that a jury decides you are liable for physical damage or personal injury to other. Your liability coverage provides legal defense coverage which can cost thousands of dollars. Liability insurance is quite affordable as compared to coverage for physical damage, so drivers should make sure they buy enough to cover all assets.
• Cheaper rates with high coverage deductibles - Physical damage protection, also known as collision and other-than-collision, covers your vehicle from damage. Examples of some claims that would be covered would be a dented fender, hail damage, and burglary. The deductibles represent how much money you are required to spend if a claim is determined to be covered. The larger the amount you pay before a claim is paid (deductible), the lower your rates will be.
• File policy claims and pay more - If you are the type of insured that files lots of claims you can expect increased rates or even have your policy non-renewed. Companies in California provide discounts to drivers who do not rely on their insurance for small claims. Your car insurance is intended to be relied upon for claims that pose a financial burden.
• Bad credit will cost you - Having a bad credit history will be a significant factor in determining what you pay. Consumers who have excellent credit scores tend to be more responsible and file fewer claims than those with lower ratings. If your credit rating is not that good, you could save money insuring your Audi A4 by improving your rating.
• City dwellers may pay more - Choosing to live in a small town can be a good thing when it comes to insurance. People who live in big cities regularly have more auto accidents and longer commute times. Lower population means less chance of accidents as well as less vandalism and auto theft.
• Drive less and save - The more you drive each year the more you'll pay to insure it. Most companies rate vehicles based upon how the vehicle is primarily used. Vehicles not used for work or commuting qualify for better rates than those used for commuting. Ask your agent if your declarations sheet correctly shows how each vehicle is driven. A policy that improperly rates your A4 can cost quite a bit.

• Insurance loss data for Audi A4 vehicles - Companies use data from past claims when they file their rates in each state. Vehicles that the data determines to have higher claim amounts or frequency will be charged more to insure. The data below shows the collected loss data for Audi A4 vehicles.

  For each insurance policy coverage type, the loss probability for all vehicles, regardless of make or model, is set at 100. Values under 100 suggest losses that are better than average, while numbers shown that are more than 100 point to more frequent losses or an increased likelihood of larger losses.

Do you qualify for discounts?

Car insurance is not cheap, but there may be some discounts to help offset the cost. Certain reductions will be credited when you purchase, but some must be specially asked for prior to getting the savings.

• Accident-Free Discounts - Drivers with accident-free driving histories have much lower rates when compared with insureds who have frequent claims or accidents.
• Safe Driver Discount - Insureds who avoid accidents could pay up to 40% less compared to rates paid by drivers with frequent claims.
• Pay Now and Pay Less - If you can afford to pay the entire bill rather than paying monthly you can avoid monthly service charges.
• Government Employee Discount - Active or former government employment can earn a discount up to 10% with certain companies.
• Discount for Passive Restraints - Factory air bags or automatic seat belts may qualify for discounts of more than 20%.
• Life Insurance Discount - If the company offers life insurance, you could get a lower rate if you buy a life insurance policy as well.
• 55 and Retired - Drivers that qualify as senior citizens may receive lower premium rates.
• Accident Forgiveness Coverage - This one is not really a discount per se, but a few companies such as GEICO and Liberty Mutual will turn a blind eye to one accident without raising rates if your claims history is clear for a certain period of time.

Policy discounts save money, but most discount credits are not given to all coverage premiums. Some only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as collision or personal injury protection. Even though it appears it's possible to get free car insurance, it doesn't quite work that way. But any discount will definitely lower your overall premium however.

The information below illustrates the difference between Audi A4 insurance prices with and without discounts being applied to the rates. The premium estimates are based on a male driver, a clean driving record, no at-fault accidents, California state minimum liability limits, full coverage, and $250 deductibles. The first bar for each age group shows premium with no discounts. The second shows the rates with multi-car, homeowner, safe-driver, claim-free, multi-policy, and marriage discounts applied.
