How to Save Money on Audi Car Insurance

Owning a luxury vehicle does have its perks, but one of the downsides is that car insurance can get a little pricey. Being that Audi is a luxury brand, you can expect to fork over quite a bit of money for insurance.

I did some searching to see if I could find average rates for car insurance on various Audi models, but there are so many factors involved in determining rates that it became difficult to determine an “average”. Some of the things that insurance companies do look at is your age, the average miles you drive per day, the type of vehicle it is (sports car, sedan, SUV, etc.), your driving history, and on and on. Some companies will even look at your credit score!

However, there are several ways that you can save money on car insurance:

Canada Audi Forum Q & A

For those of you in Canada looking to connect with other Audi enthusiasts, check out Canada's largest Audi forum.  I found out a little bit about the forum through Rick P., one of the moderators.  Read the interview below...

1) How long has the forum been active?

AudiForum.ca was first launched around March 2006 by Daniel Sitar. Within that same year AudiForum.ca was acquired by ForuMedia Inc, revamped, reskinned and restaffed. It took some time to make AudiForum.ca active with regards to users and posts but that was achieved by a small group of very active users who joined.

2) What are the most common questions/threads in the forum?

New Audi Q3 Interior: It's All in the Details

“Our work has a sensuous character...We want to give the exterior and the interior a strong aesthetic – its very own soul." --Rosalie Schrader, Designer of Audi's Color and Trim Team

When I slip behind the wheel of an Audi, I'm immediately transported to car Heaven.  The sweet smell of buttery leather combined with wood or aluminum inlays puts me into zen mode.  I feel complete.

Audi Drivers Look to the Future


In case you missed my post about Audi's new "Project New York" a couple months ago, here's a guest by Craig Dudek who shares his thoughts about it...

More and more brands across all industries are looking to thought leadership as a mode of marketing their images. It’s definitely a product of the social media revolution, which has caused marketers everywhere to start looking at their field as a two-way conversation with consumers. Audi drivers are among some of the happiest on the road, and they found out about their brand through the amazing work the marketers at Audi have put in.

Video: Audi Navigation System Plus

One of my favorite things about Audi vehicles is the Navigation System Plus.  I love to go on road trips, so a navigation system definitely comes in handy.  During the road trip with the Audi A3 earlier this year, I used the navigation system to help me find a restaurant close to the coffee shop where I had met a friend.  On another road trip, the navigation system helped me as I was driving through Los Angeles.  I love that it guided me on a route that didn't have congested traffic. If you've ever driven through LA traffic, you know how valuable a tool the navigation system is!

Audi America just posted a video on YouTube offering an overview with some of the features of the Navigation System Plus...
