Audi A8 Insurance. What do you pay?

[a8starr]

Just wandering what you guys pay to insure your A8?

What I don't understand is that a quote for a £30k D4 3.0tdi is cheaper than my 2004 D3 3.0tdi.

I am young so just wandering how much I can expect it to go down.

Insurance Prices for 3.0TDIs would be the lowest.

I pay £275 for my brand new 2013 A8 3.0 TDi Sport Exec.

Is that per year?

[wattsn]

Is that per year?

Yep, did not know you could get a policy for anything less than a year (unless you cancel early).

[M1tchy]

I think he's asking as it could be monthly! One of my young soldiers pays over £300 a month for a 1 litre polo!

£264 with Swiftcover. Fully comp, full NCD, including business use

[snapdragon]

I pay about £540 pa. on '06 3.0 TDI with Admiral
12000 miles per annum
1x SP30
1x windscreen claim
1x small fault claim 2010
Business use 1000 miles

When I got a quote for a 2011, it was only £10 more.

[1stRaven]

£565 for me. 12k per year and 1k of business use.

[simyboye]

£380 fully with named driver on.

[south105323]

Irish insurance rates not so bad then- €510 including named driver.

Pity about the €1900 per year in road tax...

[simyboye]

€1900?! That's shocking...

[south105323]

It changed to CO2 in 2008, was capacity based before that. My 4.2 would be €2500 per year if it was newer....

[MrSage]

£420 quid fully comp plus wifey

Wow. Where do you guys live to get such cheap insurance renewals?

I've got 11 years no claims, no points on my license and am 32 yet when I'm checking go compare/confused the lowest that it's bringing me back is around £550 for the year!

but you live in London - not somerset ;)

Fair point! Although I'm on the border of London and Essex which probably makes it even worse for me! :biglaugh:

[MrSage]

Mine is through Lloyds bank insurance of all places, fully comp, cheap.

I didn't even know they did insurance!

Just did another go compare. £477 is the cheapest I can get apparently with 11 years NCB, 8,000 miles a year all social. Haven't bought the car yet; just shopping around. My Passat v5 is costing me £800 a year with Admiral which is probably more than the car is worth right now. Funny thing is; when I called Admiral for a quote last week - they told me it would be £80 extra I'd have to pay to transfer my insurance. Judging by this; they should give me some money back! lol

[Micha_elD]

Mine is £262 for a 4.2 petrol, and only 3 years NCB.

With the crazy rules about one person needing separate NCB for each car, I've put my 17 years NCB on my Aston Martin, so that only costs £368 fully comp.

As far as I can work out, cheap insurance is the only advantage to being a middle aged civil servant. And I live a long way from London.

So you're paying in total for two high end performance cars a lot less than what I'm paying for a family car because I live in London... Silly house prices where a 1 bed flat is the same price as a 4 bed detached house up north, extortionate travel costs, rip off food (lunch or dinner) and rip off insurance prices.

I was born and raised here so am London through and through but the mind boggles when I think why people would ever want to move to London!

[Micha_elD]

I've worked in London for a few years, but always kept a home in the North West, for those very reasons.

30 minutes away from some fabulous deserted roads, affordable houses, cheap insurance. Its just a bit colder and windier up here, well, perhaps not today, but on a normal day.

Being raised a Londoner would make me miss the rip off place. The wife is from Brum and whenever I go there; I feel like I'm constantly gritting my teeth as I'm driving. Way too casual for my liking! i.e. all drivers wait for enough space for a jumbo jet before going onto the roundabout; every driver has to slam their brakes, turn and then indicate; drivers hogging the fast lane on the motorway doing about 69mph; drivers parking in the middle of the road to talk to a mate they've seen walking along... the list goes on.

Us Londoners drinking the London water make us very impatient people haha. That and I like knowing at any time of the day; I'm about 2 mins walk from a cash point or 5 mins drive from a supermarket or late night store.

Is it worth the rip off prices we pay for everything? Is there a better quality of life down here? Most probably not! :biglaugh:
