Audi S4 insurance rates and statistics

The information displayed next covers estimates of coverage costs for Audi S4 models. Being able to understand how policy premiums are calculated is important to be able to make informed decisions when shopping around for a new policy.

Price data assumes married male driver age 50, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, $1000 deductibles, and Oklahoma minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include multi-vehicle, homeowner, claim-free, multi-policy, and safe-driver. Premium amounts do not factor in your specific Tulsa location which can decrease or increase rates substantially.

Where to set your deductibles

One of the hardest decisions when shopping for auto insurance is how high should the physical damage deductibles be. The figures shown below may help to conceptualize the rate differences when you choose different comp and collision deductibles. The first set of prices uses a $100 deductible for comp and collision and the second data table uses a $500 deductible.

Table data represents married male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, and Oklahoma minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include safe-driver, multi-vehicle, multi-policy, claim-free, and homeowner. Price estimates do not factor in specific location which can influence auto insurance rates noticeably.

Using the data above, we can ascertain that using a $100 deductible would cost the average driver about $42 more each month or $504 annually across all Audi S4 models than buying the higher $500 deductible. Because you would be required to pay $400 more out-of-pocket with a $500 deductible as compared to a $100 deductible, if you tend to average at a minimum 10 months between claim filings, you would probably save some money if you choose the higher deductible. The numbers below show a better example of how you can do this calculation yourself.

An important thing to remember is that raising deductibles to get cheaper rates results in more money out-of-pocket when you have a comprehensive or collision claim. You need enough extra money in the event you have to pay the deductible for vehicle repair.

The information below highlights how deductible selection and can change Audi S4 annual premium costs for different insured age categories. The price estimates are based on a single female driver, comp and collision included, and no additional discounts are factored in.

The information below visualizes the comparison of Audi S4 insurance prices for male and female drivers. The prices are based on no claims or driving citations, comprehensive and collision coverage, $500 deductibles, single marital status, and no additional discounts are factored in.

Audi S4 liability rates compared to full coverage

The example below illustrates the difference between Audi S4 insurance premiums with full physical damage coverage compared to only buying the minimum liability limits required in Oklahoma. The costs are based on no claims, a clean driving record, $500 deductibles, drivers are single, and no discounts are factored in.

Deciding between full coverage and liability only

There is no definitive rule for eliminating physical damage insurance, but there is a guideline you can use. If the yearly cost of comp and collision coverage is more than 10% of replacement cost minus your deductible, then it could be time to drop full coverage.

For example, let’s pretend your Audi S4 replacement value is $9,000 and you have $1,000 deductibles. If your vehicle is totaled, the most your company will settle for is $8,000 after paying the physical damage deductible. If you are currently paying more than $800 annually for full coverage, then you may want to consider only buying liability coverage.

There are some cases where buying only liability insurance is not a good idea. If you have an outstanding loan on your vehicle, you have to maintain full coverage in order to prevent the bank from purchasing higher-priced coverage. Also, if you can’t afford to buy a different vehicle in the event your current vehicle is totaled, you should not buy liability only.

You Can Change Your Insurance Premiums

When buying auto insurance it’s important to understand a few of the rating criteria that help determine the price you pay for auto insurance. If you know what controls the rates you pay, this enables informed choices that can earn you big savings. Multiple criteria are considered when premium rates are determined. Some are pretty understandable such as traffic violations, although others are less apparent like where you live and annual miles driven.

The items below are some of the factors utilized by car insurance companies to help set prices.

• Is your car built for speed? – The make and model of the vehicle you drive makes a substantial difference in your rates. The cheapest rates are for lower performance four cylinder passenger cars, but the final cost of insurance is determined by many other factors.

  The data below uses these assumptions: single female driver age 50, full coverage with $250 deductibles, and no discounts or violations. It compares Audi S4 policy rates compared to other models that have a range of performance rating factors.

• Multiple policies with one company can save – Many auto insurance companies provide lower prices to buyers who buy several policies from them in the form of a multi-policy discount. If you currently are using one company, it’s always a smart idea to compare other company rates to make sure you are getting the best deal. Consumers may save even more than the discount by splitting coverages up.

• Age of drivers impacts premiums – Youthful drivers in Oklahoma are statistically proven to be inattentive and easily distracted when at the wheel of a vehicle and because of this, their auto insurance rates are much higher. Adding a youthful driver onto your auto insurance can break the bank. Older drivers are viewed as being more responsible, tend to file fewer claims, and receive fewer citations.

  The next chart is based on a single driver, full coverage with $1000 deductibles, and no discounts or violations.

• The higher your credit history the lower your costs – Your credit rating is likely to be a major factor in determining premium rates. Insureds that have good credit tend to be less risk to insure as compared to drivers with bad credit. If your credit rating is lower than you’d like, you could potentially save money when insuring your Audi S4 if you clean up your credit.

• Audi S4 claim probability – Insurers analyze claim trends for every vehicle as a way to help calculate a profitable premium rate. Vehicles that have higher number or severity of losses will have higher rates. The next table illustrates the insurance loss data for Audi S4 vehicles.

  For each policy coverage, the statistical loss for all vehicles, regardless of make or model, is a value of 100. Values that are below 100 are indicative of better than average losses, while percentage values above 100 point to more claims or statistically larger losses.

Why you need vehicle insurance in Oklahoma

Despite the high cost, insuring your vehicle may be required for several reasons.

• Just about all states have compulsory liability insurance requirements which means the state requires specific limits of liability insurance in order to drive the car legally. In Oklahoma these limits are 25/50/25 which means you must have $25,000 of bodily injury coverage per person, $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $25,000 of property damage coverage.
• If your Audi S4 has a loan, almost every bank will force you to have full coverage to guarantee payment of the loan. If you do not keep the policy in force, the bank will be required to insure your Audi at a much higher rate and require you to reimburse them the higher premium.
• Insurance safeguards both your vehicle and your assets. It will also provide coverage for medical bills incurred in an accident. Liability coverage, the one required by state law, also covers all legal expenses up to the policy limit if you cause an accident and are sued. If your vehicle suffers damage from an accident or hail, collision and comprehensive (also known as other-than-collision) coverage will cover the repair costs.

The benefits of insuring your S4 more than offset the price you pay, especially if you ever need it. Despite what companies tell you, the average driver overpays more than $830 a year so we recommend shopping around once a year at a minimum to be sure current rates are still competitive.
