Lower Your 2017 Volkswagen Golf R Car Insurance Rates

There is a better way to find auto insurance online and we’ll show you the proper way to compare rates on a Volkswagen and find the best price possible from local insurance agents and online providers.

First Step: Get free car insurance quotes

All major car insurance companies allow consumers to get insurance quotes directly from their websites. Doing online quotes is quite simple as all you need to do is type in the coverage amounts you desire into the form. After the form is submitted, the system collects your driving and credit reports and returns pricing information based on the data you entered.

This makes comparing rates easy, but the time required to go to several different sites and type in the same information can be a bit tiresome and repetitive. But it’s also necessary to have as many quotes as possible in order to find the best price possible.

Online rates the easy way

A better way to compare rates is to use a quote form that gets price quotes from a bunch of companies at once. The form is fast, eliminates repetitive work, and makes online quotes much more enjoyable. Once the form is submitted, it gets priced and you can choose your choice of the resulting price quotes.

If the quotes result in lower rates, you can simply submit the application and purchase the new policy. The entire process takes less than 15 minutes and you’ll know if lower rates are available.

Is there deception in advertising?

Consumers can’t get away from all the ads that promise big savings for switching from the likes of State Farm, Allstate and Geico. They all seem to state the claim that drivers can save some big amount after switching your policy.

How is it plausible that every one can have lower policy pricing? This is the trick they use.

All the different companies give the best rates for the right customer that will not have excessive claims. For example, a profitable risk profile could be a mature driver, is a homeowner, and has a short commute. Someone who matches those parameters is entitled to the best price and have a good chance to pay quite a bit less when switching companies.

Potential insureds who don’t meet this ideal profile may be required to pay higher prices and this can result in the customer not purchasing. The ad wording is “people that switch” but not “all drivers who get quotes” save that much when switching. That’s the way insurance companies can confidently make it sound like they have such great prices.

Each company has different criteria, so it is so important to get as many free insurance coverage quotes as possible. You cannot predict which company will have the lowest rate quotes.

Do you qualify for discount insurance?

Companies offering auto insurance don’t always advertise all available discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so here is a list a few of the more well known as well as some of the hidden discounts you could be receiving when you buy insurance coverage online. If you don’t get every credit you qualify for, you are throwing money away.

• Buy New and Save – Insuring a new car can save up to 30% since newer models are generally safer.
• Accident Forgiveness Coverage – Not really a discount, but certain companies will forgive one accident without the usual rate increase if your claims history is clear prior to being involved in the accident.
• Passive Restraints and Air Bags – Vehicles equipped with air bags or motorized seat belts can receive discounts of 25 to 30%.
• Discount for Multiple Policies – When you combine your auto and home insurance with the same company you will save up to 20% off your total premium.
• Braking Control Discount – Anti-lock brake equipped vehicles are safer to drive and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
• Good Student Discount – Performing well in school can earn a discount of 20% or more. Most companies allow this discount up to age 25.
• No Accidents – Drivers who don’t have accidents pay much less when compared with frequent claim filers.
• Federal Government Employee – Employees or retirees of the government could cut as much as 10% off on Golf R coverage with certain companies.
• Student Discount for Driver Training – Teen drivers should successfully complete driver’s ed class if it’s offered in school.

While discounts sound great, it’s important to understand that most discounts do not apply to your bottom line cost. Some only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like comprehensive or collision. Even though it appears you would end up receiving a 100% discount, companies wouldn’t make money that way. But all discounts will bring down your overall premium however.

Auto insurance coverage basics

Knowing the specifics of auto insurance helps when choosing the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement.

Liability coverage

Liability coverage protects you from damage or injury you incur to other people or property. This coverage protects you against other people’s claims. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show limits of 100/300/100 which means a limit of $100,000 per injured person, $300,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Occasionally you may see one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which combines the three limits into one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability insurance covers things such as medical expenses, loss of income, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and bail bonds. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

This provides protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your 2017 Volkswagen Golf R.

Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is very important. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Collision coverage

This will pay to fix damage to your Golf R resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage protects against claims like scraping a guard rail, crashing into a ditch, sustaining damage from a pot hole and hitting a parking meter. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Comprehensive coverage

This covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things like damage from a tornado or hurricane, a broken windshield, damage from getting keyed, hitting a bird and theft. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for short-term medical expenses such as X-ray expenses, hospital visits and prosthetic devices. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Have the Midas touch

As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, it’s not a good idea to buy poor coverage just to save money. There are many occasions where an insured cut physical damage coverage and discovered at claim time that they should have had better coverage. Your strategy should be to get the best coverage possible at the best possible price while not skimping on critical coverages.

Insureds who switch companies do it for many reasons like poor customer service, being labeled a high risk driver, delays in paying claims or extreme rates for teen drivers. It doesn’t matter what your reason, switching companies is not as hard as you think.

We covered many ways to shop for 2017 Volkswagen Golf R insurance online. The key concept to understand is the more rate comparisons you have, the better your chances of lowering your rates. Drivers may discover the most savings is with the least-expected company.
