Searching for cheaper insurance rates for your Audi R8? I can’t think of a single person who looks forward to paying for insurance, especially when they know they could find better rates elsewhere.
People have many insurers to buy insurance from, and though it is a good thing to have a choice, it can be more challenging to compare rates.
You need to do price comparisons every six months because insurance prices are adjusted regularly by insurance companies. Even if you got the best price for R8 insurance two years ago you will most likely find a better rate today. Forget anything you know (or think you know) about insurance because it’s time to teach you the easiest way to find better rates and still maintain coverage.
Choosing the best insurance company for you is not rocket science. If you currently have a car insurance policy, you will be able to reduce your rates substantially using these tips. Although drivers must comprehend the methods companies use to price insurance differently and take advantage of how the system works.
These discounts can lower your auto insurance quotes
Some insurance providers don’t necessarily list every policy discount in a way that’s easy to find, so we break down some of the best known and the more hidden discounts you could be receiving when you buy car insurance online.
- Anti-lock Brake System – Cars, trucks, and SUVs with anti-lock braking systems are much safer to drive and will save you 10% or more.
- Federal Employees – Federal government employees could provide a small rate reduction for R8 insurance with a few auto insurance companies.
- Paperless Signup – Certain auto insurance companies will give you a small discount for buying a policy and signing up on your computer.
- Fewer Miles Equal More Savings – Driving less could earn lower auto insurancerates due to less chance of an accident.
- Discounts for Multiple Vehicles – Purchasing coverage when you have primary and secondary vehicles with one company can get a discount on all vehicles.
- First Accident Forgiveness – Not a discount per se, but certain companies permit an accident without the usual rate increase as long as you don’t have any claims for a particular time prior to the accident.
- Passive Restraints and Air Bags – Vehicles equipped with air bags and/or automatic seat belt systems can qualify for discounts of more than 20%.
- Senior Discount – If you qualify as a senior citizen, you may qualify for a small discount on rates for R8 insurance.
Don’t be shocked that most of the big mark downs will not be given to the entire cost. Most only cut the price of certain insurance coverages like comprehensive or collision. Even though the math looks like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, it doesn’t quite work that way. Any amount of discount will cut your overall bill.
The best auto insurance companies and a partial list of their discounts can be read below.
- Progressive may have discounts that include online quote discount, multi-policy, good student, continuous coverage, online signing, homeowner, and multi-vehicle.
- SAFECO offers discounts including accident prevention training, bundle discounts, teen safety rewards, homeowner, anti-theft, anti-lock brakes, and teen safe driver.

Different people need different insurance coverage coverages
When choosing adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn’t really a one size fits all plan. Every situation is different so your insurance should reflect that For example, these questions might help in determining if your insurance needs may require specific advice.
- Do I need more liability coverage?
- When can I cancel my policy?
- Am I covered if I crash into my own garage door?
- Is borrowed equipment or tools covered if stolen or damaged?
- When should my teen driver be added to my policy?
- Are rental cars covered under my policy?
- Can I afford to buy a different vehicle if my 2017 Audi R8 is totaled?
If you can’t answer these questions but a few of them apply, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, fill out this quick form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area.
Educate yourself about insurance coverages
Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy helps when choosing which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. Insurance terms can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find typical coverages found on the average insurance policy.
Comprehensive coverage
This will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from a tornado or hurricane and hitting a bird. The most your insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage
Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Audi R8.
Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.
Collision coverage protection
This will pay to fix damage to your R8 resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision can pay for claims like damaging your car on a curb, sustaining damage from a pot hole, sideswiping another vehicle, scraping a guard rail and backing into a parked car. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Medical payments coverage and PIP
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for short-term medical expenses like doctor visits, dental work, hospital visits and chiropractic care. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. They cover both the driver and occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Coverage for liability
Liability insurance can cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people in an accident. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for your injuries or vehicle damage.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see liability limits of 25/50/25 which stand for a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, $50,000 for the entire accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery.
Liability coverage pays for things such as attorney fees, pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects and emergency aid. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Smart shoppers get results
As you shop your coverage around, never reduce needed coverages to save money. In too many instances, someone dropped liability limits or collision coverage only to regret that they should have had better coverage. Your goal is to buy a smart amount of coverage at an affordable rate but still have enough coverage for asset protection.
Cheaper insurance is available on the web in addition to many insurance agents, so you should compare both to get a complete price analysis. There are still a few companies who may not offer online price quotes and usually these small, regional companies prefer to sell through independent agents.
