The average Audi driver pays about $180 per month for car insurance, which is more than the national average. High MSRPs, expensive parts, advanced tech, and luxury branding may all contribute to higher premiums for Audi vehicles.[1] Rates can also vary based on your model, driving history, and location.
But no matter your driving background or car model, getting affordable car insurance coverage that meets your needs always starts with understanding your options. In this guide, we provide all the essential details for Audi drivers, including average insurance costs, top companies, and the best ways to save money on coverage.

The Best Insurance Companies for Audi Drivers

The objective formula used in these reviews weighs several important factors to consider when choosing financial products and services, including customer satisfaction ratings, ease of use, and a number of other components. | 4.7 /5 |
Liability Only Liability-only insurance, sometimes called minimum-coverage insurance, pays for bodily injury and property damage to others in an accident the policyholder causes. It does not pay for the insured’s own damages. | $56/mo |
Full Coverage Full-coverage car insurance generally includes liability, collision, and comprehensive coverage, and may include other optional coverages such as uninsured motorist coverage. Collision covers a policyholder’s repair or replacement costs in case of an accident. Comprehensive covers damages caused by non-accident events. The average quote displayed here reflects policies with the following coverage limits: $50,000 bodily injury liability per person; $100,000 bodily injury liability per accident; $50,00 property damage liability per accident; $1,000 collision deductible; and a $1,000 comprehensive deductible. | $109/mo |

Let’s see how key factors affect Audi insurance premiums next — and discuss what you can do to lower your insurance costs.
How to Choose the Right Coverage for Your Audi
Choosing the cheapest premium is only part of the equation. You need at least minimum coverage to protect your Audi, but more robust coverage is often the better choice. Here’s how to choose the right coverage:
Meet minimum coverage, but consider more. Required minimum coverage liability limits are often too low to protect you fully.
Consider liability vs. full coverage. Liability insurance covers others, while full coverage adds protection for your vehicle, such as comprehensive and collision coverage.
Match coverage to car value. Audis with new or higher trim levels often need full coverage and gap insurance, while older models may not.
Set a deductible you can afford. A higher deductible lowers your premium but increases your out-of-pocket expense.
Consider windshield protection. If you have an Audi with a smart windshield, consider buying windshield protection to cover a $1,500-or-more replacement cost.[7]
Uninsured motorist coverage, vehicle service protection, roadside assistance, and other options may also be suitable. Audi also offers vehicle service protection plans.
Let’s discuss some simple strategies to get cheaper rates for Audi car insurance.
How to Get Cheaper Car Insurance for Your Audi
Driving a luxury car like an Audi doesn’t mean you have to pay luxury prices for insurance. With a few strategic moves, you can lower your premium without compromising coverage.
Try these five tips to save:
Leverage safety features (and good driving). Enroll in a telematics program to earn discounts for safe driving — a smart match for Audi’s advanced driver-assistance systems.
Bundle your policies. Combine your Audi car insurance with homeowners or renters coverage to unlock multi-policy savings.
Raise your deductible. Opt for a higher deductible to reduce your monthly premium. Just make sure you can afford the out-of-pocket cost.
Ask about car insurance discounts. Some companies offer lower insurance rates for vehicles with anti-theft systems, adaptive cruise control, and other advanced features.
Compare insurance quotes frequently. Insurance rates fluctuate, and no company is the cheapest for everyone. Shop around annually to ensure you’re still getting the best deal.
Audi Auto Insurance FAQs
While shopping for an Audi auto policy, you’ll likely have a few questions. Here are quick, straightforward answers to help you make an informed decision.
How much does it cost to insure an Audi?
The average cost to insure an Audi is approximately $180 per month, according to Compare.com data. That’s $128 per month for minimum coverage and $232 for full coverage.
Are Audis expensive to insure?
Yes. Audis generally cost more to insure than many other vehicles, according to our research. Their luxury status, advanced technology, and higher repair costs result in higher car insurance premiums. Windshield protection, vehicle service protection, and additional endorsements can also raise your costs.
Which Audi model is the cheapest to insure?
The Audi A4 Allroad is among the most affordable models to insure, with an average full-coverage premium of $201 per month, according to Compare.com data. Regardless of the model, minimum coverage is almost always cheaper than full coverage (but not always a better choice).
Will my insurance go up if I get an Audi?
It depends. Audi models tend to cost more to insure than standard vehicles. If you’re upgrading from a brand that’s cheaper to insure, you’ll likely see an uptick in your car insurance costs.
