How to compare insurance for the Audi A4

The A4 is a popular luxury sedan, which means that you should have no trouble finding coverage from any of the major insurance companies. Being informed about the different variables can help you find a policy that suits your Audi.

• Price. Price is a major factor when choosing your auto insurance policy. Once you’ve determined exactly how much coverage you need, use that sample policy to compare rates from different providers.
• Deductible. Find a deductible amount that’s affordable if you need to file a claim but not too low that it increases your premiums.
• Minimum coverage. The vast majority of states have mandatory minimum coverage amounts. Above all other considerations, ensure that your policy meets your state’s minimums, otherwise, it’s illegal to drive on public roads.
• Additional coverage. Uninsured motorist and medical payments coverage are two of the many extended coverage options that providers offer. Be sure to find a provider that has what you need.
• Extras. Extras like roadside assistance and accident forgiveness can provide peace of mind on and off the road. If you require any extra policy features, be sure to shop around before deciding on a provider.
• Restrictions. Some providers may have restrictions on coverage. Whether you’re planning on driving out of the country or just want to stay informed, ask your provider about potential restrictions before buying a policy.
• Manufacturer offer or loyalty discount. Speak with your dealership to find out if Audi has any partnerships or loyalty programs with insurance providers.
• Warranty. Read through your vehicle’s warranty information to avoid purchasing extras from your provider that might already be covered.

What factors affect car insurance rates for Audi A4?

Providers determine your rates based on your risk of collisions and potential cost of paying claims. While your location and driving history, among many other factors, will influence the price you pay for car insurance, the vehicle you drive is a major factor. Here are some vehicle-specific factors that may affect Audi A4 insurance rates.

• Body type. The A4 is a four-door sedan, generally used for commuting, errands, and other light use. It likely won’t be driven in higher risk situations like off-road or on a racetrack, which might make for lower premiums relative to trucks or sports cars.
• Type of car. The A4 is a luxury sedan, a type of vehicle that is generally more expensive to insure than a compact car, but cheaper than an SUV.
• Theft. Sedans have the highest theft rate of all vehicles, which could be reflected in the price you pay for auto insurance.
• Repairs. While Audi vehicles are very common in the US, some parts may need to be imported or installed by a trained technician. This may increase the cost of repairs, which could translate to higher premiums.
• Safety ratings. In general, Audi vehicles have great safety ratings, the A4 included. This may make for lower premiums since safer vehicles are often cheaper to insure.

How does my Audi A4’s trim affect insurance costs?

The Audi A4 is considered a luxury sedan, which makes it a great choice for a daily driver. It comes standard with a number of safety and convenience-oriented features to provide a comfortable and safe drive.

However, you may choose to configure your vehicle to include performance packages, additional safety features, or other options. In doing so, your insurance premiums may be affected, since trims, packages, and accessories can change how the vehicle performs.

Trim and engine

• Premium 2.0 TFSI. This package adds sport suspension, performance tires, and a higher top speed, all of which could contribute to higher insurance premiums.
• Premium Plus 2.0 TFSI Ultra. LED headlights, side & rear sensors and an Audi information system may decrease your risk of collisions, possibly reducing your rates.
• Premium Plus 2.0 TFSI. While this package adds a variety of performance features, the inclusion of extra safety features could balance out the higher rates from increased power.
• Prestige 2.0 TFSI Ultra. This package’s adaptive cruise control, top view camera system and heads-up display could make for a safer drive and better insurance rates.
• Prestige 2.0 TFSI. The higher rates due to the increase in power may be canceled out by the addition of adaptive cruise control and other safety features.

Packages and options

• Convenience package. This package adds an alarm system with motion sensor, driver information system and more. Adding this could help reduce your premiums.
• Sport package. While most of the features in this package are cosmetic, the sport suspension could improve handling and reduce insurance rates.
• Wheel package. Adding new rims and tires can offer better traction, but may also pose a higher risk of wheel theft.
• Rear-passenger side airbags. This safety feature may reduce damage to your vehicle and occupants in the event of a collision, which could reduce the cost of insurance.
• Navigation & telematics package. This package adds Audi Connect, a touch-screen navigation system, Audi Connect CARE subscription and more. The added convenience and connectivity could lead to lower premiums.
