No one rejoices having to buy car insurance, particularly when they could find better rates elsewhere.
You have multiple insurers to purchase coverage from, and even though it’s nice to be able to choose, it can be more difficult to find the best rates.
Consumers should take time to shop coverage around before your policy renews because insurance rates tend to go up over time. Just because you had the best premium rates for e-Golf coverage a few years ago you can probably find a better price now. Ignore everything you know about car insurance because you’re about to find out the tricks you need to know to lower your rates without sacrificing coverage.
Insurance coverage policy discounts you can’t miss
Insurance coverage is neither fun to buy or cheap, but you may be missing some discounts that can dramatically reduce your bill. Some discounts will apply at the time of purchase, but a few must be inquired about prior to getting the savings.
- 55 and Retired – Older drivers can get a discount up to 10% for e-Golf coverage.
- Accident Forgiveness – This isn’t a discount exactly, but a handful of insurance companies may permit one accident before raising your premiums if your claims history is clear for a specific time period.
- Seat Belt Discounts – Using a seat belt and requiring all passengers to buckle up may be able to save a few bucks on the premium charged for medical payments and/or PIP.
- Theft Deterent Discount – Cars with anti-theft systems help deter theft and will qualify for a discount on a car insurance quote.
- Payment Method – If you can afford to pay the entire bill rather than paying monthly you may reduce your total bill.
Discounts save money, but please remember that most credits do not apply to the overall cost of the policy. Most only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like comp or med pay. So even though it sounds like all those discounts means the company will pay you, it’s just not the way it works. But all discounts will definitely lower your policy premiums.

What affects Volkswagen e-Golf insurance rates?
Many factors are used when quoting car insurance. Some factors are common sense like an MVR report, but other factors are less obvious such as your credit history or how safe your car is.An important part of buying insurance is that you know the different types of things that aid in calculating your premiums. If you understand what determines base rates, this enables you to make decisions that could help you find better insurance rates.
The factors shown below are some of the most common factors utilized by car insurance companies to help set your prices.
- Extra coverages push up rates – There are many add-on coverages that may not really be needed if you aren’t careful. Coverages like vanishing deductibles, better glass coverage, and motor club memberships are examples of these. They may seem good when discussing your needs, but your money might be better spent on other coverage so eliminate them to save money.
- Age of drivers impacts costs – Teen drivers have been known to get distracted easily when at the wheel of a vehicle so insurance rates are higher. Parents adding a young driver onto a policy can be very expensive. Older, more experienced drivers are more cautious drivers, are lower risk to insure , and usually have better credit.
- Multiple policies with one company can save – Most insurers will give lower prices to customers that have more than one policy such as combining an auto and homeowners policy. Even if you already get this discount, it’s still a good idea to check prices from other companies to help ensure you have the lowest rates.
- Tickets cost more than a fine – Even one driving citation may increase your cost forty percent or more. Drivers who don’t get tickets get better rates compared to bad drivers. Drivers who have received flagrant violations like reckless driving or DUI might be required by their state to submit a SR-22 or proof of financial responsibility to the state department of motor vehicles in order to legally drive.
Insurance agents can help
When choosing adequate coverage, there really is not a perfect coverage plan. Each situation is unique so this has to be addressed. Here are some questions about coverages that may help highlight if your insurance needs could use an agent’s help.
- Which is better, split liability limits or combined limits?
- Does insurance cover tools stolen from my truck?
- Am I getting all the discounts available?
- What is high-risk coverage and where do I buy it?
- Does having multiple vehicles earn me a discount?
- Do I have coverage when using my vehicle for my home business?
If it’s difficult to answer those questions but one or more may apply to you then you might want to talk to a licensed agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, complete this form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier
Auto insurance 101
Understanding the coverages of your policy can help you determine the right coverages for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. These are the usual coverages found on the average insurance policy.
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers
This coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Volkswagen e-Golf.
Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.
Liability car insurance
This coverage can cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people that is your fault. This coverage protects you from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see policy limits of 25/50/25 that means you have $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability insurance covers things like emergency aid, funeral expenses, structural damage and attorney fees. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision)
Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like damage from a tornado or hurricane, fire damage and vandalism. The maximum amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.
Collision coverage
This coverage will pay to fix damage to your e-Golf caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage protects against things like colliding with another moving vehicle, rolling your car and sideswiping another vehicle. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Medical expense insurance
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for bills such as dental work, ambulance fees and rehabilitation expenses. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available and may carry a deductible

More quotes. Lower rates.
A few companies may not offer price quotes online and these small insurance companies provide coverage only through independent agencies. Cheap 2015 Volkswagen e-Golf insurance can be bought from both online companies as well as from independent agents, and you need to price shop both to have the best rate selection.
As you shop your coverage around, it’s a bad idea to skimp on coverage in order to save money. Too many times, an accident victim reduced full coverage and found out when filing a claim that it was a big mistake. Your goal is to buy enough coverage at the lowest possible cost, but do not sacrifice coverage to save money.
