2008 Volkswagen R32 Insurance Quotes – 9 Savings Tips

No one in their right mind looks forward to paying premiums for insurance, especially knowing they could get a better deal. With vehicle owners having so many different company options, it is hard for the average consumer to pick the most cost effective insurance company.

You should take the time to do rate comparisons before your policy renews since insurance prices change frequently. Just because you had the lowest rate on R32 coverage on your last policy you may be paying too much now. Forget anything you know (or think you know) about insurance because we’re going to show you the proper way to save on insurance.

Take advantage of these nine money-saving discounts

Some providers don’t always advertise every available discount in an easy-to-find place, so we break down both the well known and also the lesser-known discounts that you may qualify for.

• Driver Safety – Taking part in a course that instructs on driving safety is a good idea and can lower rates and easily pay for the cost of the class.
• Full Payment Discount – By paying your entire bill at once rather than spreading payments over time you can avoid the installment charge.
• Discount for Life Insurance – Select auto insurance companies reward you with a discount if you purchase a life insurance policy as well.
• Discounts for Government Workers – Active or former government employment may qualify for a discount when you quote car insurance on R32 coverage but check with your company.
• Seat Belt Usage – Drivers who require all occupants to use their safety belts can save up to 10 percent (depending on the company) off PIP or medical payments premium.
• Multi-policy Discount – If you have multiple policies and insure them both with the same insurance company you could get a discount of at least 10% off all policies.
• Discounts for Good Drivers – Drivers who don’t get into accidents can pay as much as 50% less on R32 coverage compared to accident prone drivers.
• Active Military Service – Being deployed in the military may lower your rates slightly.
• Multiple Vehicles – Having multiple cars or trucks on a single policy can reduce the rates for all insured vehicles.

Policy discounts save money, but most credits do not apply to the entire cost. Most only reduce specific coverage prices like physical damage coverage or medical payments. Despite the appearance that adding up those discounts means a free policy, insurance companies wouldn’t stay in business.

Popular auto insurance companies and their offered discounts are shown below.

• Geico may offer discounts for daytime running lights, emergency military deployment, multi-vehicle, multi-policy, good student, anti-theft, and anti-lock brakes.
• MetLife has discounts for defensive driver, multi-policy, accident-free, good student, and claim-free.
• State Farm may have discounts that include safe vehicle, multiple policy, passive restraint, multiple autos, and good driver.
• Progressive includes discounts for good student, homeowner, online signing, multi-vehicle, online quote discount, multi-policy, and continuous coverage.
• Mercury Insurance policyholders can earn discounts including low natural disaster claims, ease of repair, annual mileage, professional/association, anti-theft, location of vehicle, and type of vehicle.
• 21st Century has savings for driver training, 55 and older, good student, student driver, homeowners, and teen driver.
• Allstate may include discounts for anti-theft, anti-lock brakes, early signing, defensive driver, and new car.

Do I need special coverages?

When buying adequate coverage, there really is not a single plan that fits everyone. Each situation is unique and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. For instance, these questions may help highlight whether your personal situation could use an agent’s help.

• Is my camper covered by my car insurance policy?
• Is my babysitter covered when using my vehicle?
• Can I rent a car in Mexico?
• Should I waive the damage coverage when renting a car?
• Are split liability limits better than a combined single limit?
• Does my insurance cover my expensive audio equipment?
• How do I insure my teen driver?
• Should I buy full coverage?
• What is roadside assistance coverage?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, complete this form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area. It’s fast, free and can help protect your family.

Do drivers who switch really save $419 a year?

Consumers can’t get away from all the ads for cheaper insurance by companies like State Farm, Geico and Progressive. All the ads make an identical promise about savings if you switch your insurance policy to them.

How does every company charge you a lower premium? Here is how they do it.

All companies have specific guidelines for a prospective insured that will most likely be profitable. An example of a driver they prefer should be over the age of 40, has never had a claim, and does not commute to work. Any new insured that hits that “sweet spot” will get the preferred premium rates and as a result will probably save when they switch companies.

Insureds who fall outside those criteria will see higher prices and this can result in the driver buying from a lower-cost company. If you pay close attention to the ads, they say “people that switch” not “everyone who quotes” save that kind of money. That is how insurance companies can make claims like that.

That is why drivers must get car insurance quotes as often as possible. You cannot predict which company will have better car insurance rates than you’re paying now.

Parts of your car insurance policy

Having a good grasp of your car insurance policy helps when choosing the best coverages for your vehicles. Car insurance terms can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Below you’ll find typical coverage types found on most car insurance policies.

Liability insurance

Liability coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property by causing an accident. Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see limits of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Another option is a combined limit which provides one coverage limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability insurance covers things such as legal defense fees, loss of income, repair costs for stationary objects, funeral expenses and medical expenses. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but consider buying higher limits if possible.

Comprehensive auto coverage

This coverage will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for claims such as hitting a bird, damage from getting keyed and hail damage. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This gives you protection when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important. Most of the time these limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for immediate expenses for hospital visits, X-ray expenses, ambulance fees and chiropractic care. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover both the driver and occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Collision protection

Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your R32 resulting from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against claims like colliding with a tree, backing into a parked car, colliding with another moving vehicle and sideswiping another vehicle. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.
