Audi RS5 insurance rates

The Audi RS5 was released in 2010 as part of Audi’s redesigning process, with the first models arriving on roads in the spring of that year.

In many respects, the RS5 is an updated version of Audi’s classic A5 model, itself famous for its family-friendly design and luxurious interior. The ‘RS’ in the updated model’s title comes from the German RennSport, literally ‘Racing Sport’ – so you’d be right in thinking the RS5 is more powerful and sportier than your typical A5.

How can I save on my RS5 premiums?

We’ve gathered together some of the top ways of reducing your car insurance to help you save. Keep them in mind whilst you look for a policy:

• Who is insured on the car? Only insure people who use the car regularly – you can always add people later if someone wants to drive your car for a short period in the future.
• Make sure your no claims discount is maintained. Longer no claim periods can affect your premiums.
• Paying for your insurance annually rather than monthly can save you money. In the case of the RS5, the total for monthly payments is actually £120.04 more expensive than the annual sum!
