Which factors can affect my A5 insurance rate?

There are a number of different factors that can influence the cost of an Audi A5’s insurance, including:

• Model of car (particularly type and year of release)
• Security and anti-theft devices
• The age, marital status, and geographical location of the driver
• Annual miles driven
• Any modifications installed on the car
• No claims discount
• Transmission – manual or automatic?
• The driver’s credit history

How can I save on my A5 premiums?

• Pay premiums annually. If you can afford to fork out your car insurance premium as an annual lump sum then you might find that you’re better off in the long run. Paying premiums annually rather than monthly can save you big time.
• Increase your car’s security. Simple things such as parking in a garage instead of a main road could help reduce your car insurance premiums, as your vehicle is less likely to be stolen. Ask your insurance provider what you can do to increase your car’s security and decrease your premiums.
• Compare, compare, compare. Get multiple quotes from different insurers to compare prices. It’s is important to remember to compare cover as well as prices. A cheap policy sounds great at the time but could cause you a lot of trouble if you end up needing to claim.

Random Audi trivia

• Audi’s crash tests date back over seventy-five years. Without modern technology or proper crash test dummies, the procedure involved simply rolling a contemporary Audi, down a hill into an obstacle to prove how safe it was!
• The Audi corporation originated as part of the German Auto Union, which produced and raced the Auto Union Type C – a car capable of travelling at speeds of up to 268.4 miles per hour – in 1938.
• The origins of the Audi corporation can be traced back as far as 1885, with the establishment of the German car manufacturer Wanderer. August Horch formally registered Audi in 1910, and the Audi corporation in its modern format was formed in 1969

The Audi A5 is a popular car and is a great representation of the quality that Audi brings to the table. With most models of this classy vehicle, you’ll pay a bit above the average rate for car insurance, but you can reduce the cost of your premiums using the advice in this guide.
