Which factors can affect my A5 insurance rate?

There are a number of different factors that can influence the cost of an Audi A5’s insurance, including:

• Model of car (particularly type and year of release)
• Security and anti-theft devices
• The age, marital status, and geographical location of the driver
• Annual miles driven
• Any modifications installed on the car
• No claims discount
• Transmission – manual or automatic?
• The driver’s credit history

How can I save on my A5 premiums?

• Pay premiums annually. If you can afford to fork out your car insurance premium as an annual lump sum then you might find that you’re better off in the long run. Paying premiums annually rather than monthly can save you big time.
• Increase your car’s security. Simple things such as parking in a garage instead of a main road could help reduce your car insurance premiums, as your vehicle is less likely to be stolen. Ask your insurance provider what you can do to increase your car’s security and decrease your premiums.
• Compare, compare, compare. Get multiple quotes from different insurers to compare prices. It’s is important to remember to compare cover as well as prices. A cheap policy sounds great at the time but could cause you a lot of trouble if you end up needing to claim.
