Audi TT insurance group & cost

Most people recognise the Audi TT. It’s small, it’s sleek, and it’s fast. It’s practically what would appear in the dictionary when you search for ‘sports car’. This has helped to make the TT one of Audi’s most recognisable models, released on the roads for the first time back in 1998.

Audi TT insurance groups and cost by driver’s age

When it comes to car insurance, all vehicles are given a specific insurance group that ranges from group 1 (cheapest) to group 50 (most expensive) which helps determine the cost of your premium. Audi TT models range from insurance groups 32 to 45, so the cost of insurance can vary significantly. As an example, a 30-year-old driver in an average postcode could pay around £908 for cover on a Audi TT Sport 1.8 TFSI 180PS S Tronic auto 2d, or around £2,690 for a Audi TT Vorsprung 45 TFSI 245PS Quattro S Tronic auto 2d.

You can find the insurance group, and likely cost, of your Audi TT model in the table below.

How to reduce my Audi TT premiums

When it comes to insuring your Audi TT, you want the best deal at an affordable rate. There are some things that you can do to make sure that your premiums don’t break the bank, including:

• Paying premiums annually instead of monthly. This move, while requiring a greater deal of financial security, could save you an average of £70.48 every year!
• Being economical with car usage. Remain accurate when it comes to inputting data for a quote, but a walk to the shops instead of a drive could save money on your car insurance.
• Add extra safety features. Insurance companies will be more likely to offer you better premiums if you make sure your car is safe and secure. Investigate what security features are available (or see below for our overview of the options available for the Audi TT) and, if you can, invest in them!
