Do you qualify for discounts?

Not many people think insurance is cheap, but companies offer discounts that you may not even be aware of. A few discounts will be applied at the time of purchase, but a few must be asked for before being credited.

• Homeowners Pay Less – Just being a homeowner can help you save on auto insurance since home ownership requires personal responsibility.
• Accident Forgiveness Coverage – Not necessarily a discount, but certain companies will allow you to have one accident before hitting you with a surcharge if your claims history is clear prior to the accident.
• Resident Student – Any of your kids who live away from home to go to college and don’t have a car could get you a discount.
• Pay Early and Save – If paying your policy premium upfront rather than paying monthly you could save 5% or more.
• Onboard Data Collection – Insureds who allow driving data submission to monitor vehicle usage through the use of a telematics system such as Snapshot from Progressive or Drivewise from Allstate might get better premium rates if their driving habits are good.
• Employee of Federal Government – Employees or retirees of the government could qualify for a slight premium decrease for Touareg insurance with some auto insurance companies.

Consumers should know that many deductions do not apply to the entire cost. A few only apply to specific coverage prices like comprehensive or collision. So even though it sounds like you could get a free auto insurance policy, you’re out of luck. Any amount of discount will bring down your policy cost.

Don’t assume everyone needs the same auto insurance coverage

When it comes to choosing the best auto insurance coverage, there is no single plan that fits everyone. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s so your insurance needs to address that. For instance, these questions may help highlight if your insurance needs might need professional guidance.

• When should I buy a commercial auto policy?
• What should my uninsured motorist coverage limits be in my state?
• Do I get a pro-rated refund if I cancel my policy early?
• Are rental cars covered under my policy?
• Does insurance cover tools stolen from my truck?
• Can I drive in Mexico and have coverage?
• How high should deductibles be on a 2015 Volkswagen Touareg?
• Should I rate my 2015 Volkswagen Touareg as pleasure use or commute?
• Do I need to file an SR-22 for a DUI in my state?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but one or more may apply to you, you may need to chat with a licensed insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, take a second and complete this form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area. It’s fast, free and can provide invaluable advice.

Insurance coverage options for a Volkswagen Touareg

Understanding the coverages of insurance helps when choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Below you’ll find typical coverage types found on the average insurance policy.

Collision coverage protection

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against things such as colliding with another moving vehicle, colliding with a tree, backing into a parked car and hitting a mailbox. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Insurance for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for expenses for doctor visits, dental work, nursing services, rehabilitation expenses and chiropractic care. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as theft, hitting a bird, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and hitting a deer. The maximum payout a insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

Auto liability

Liability coverage protects you from damage that occurs to people or other property by causing an accident. It protects you against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for your injuries or vehicle damage.

Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have policy limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $100,000 for the entire accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Occasionally you may see a combined limit which combines the three limits into one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability coverage pays for things like bail bonds, medical expenses, funeral expenses, attorney fees and legal defense fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This provides protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your Volkswagen Touareg.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is very important. Usually your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Feed the piggy bank

While you’re price shopping online, make sure you don’t reduce coverage to reduce premium. There have been many situations where someone dropped comprehensive coverage or liability limits and found out when filing a claim that it was a big error on their part. The aim is to buy the best coverage you can find at the best price, but do not skimp to save money.

Some insurance providers do not offer the ability to get quotes online and most of the time these smaller providers provide coverage only through independent insurance agencies. Low-cost 2015 Volkswagen Touareg insurance is definitely available from both online companies and with local insurance agents, and you should be comparing both so you have a total pricing picture.
