Car insurance premiums are cheaper for drivers of cars from the Audi range than those of any other German premium-sector car maker, according to Swiftcover.com Motor insurance costs are lower for Audi drivers because of the award-winning security measures and competitive repair costs of the models. According to data from the Association of British Insurers (ABI), which represents the collective interests of the insurance industry in the UK, Audi drivers pay less for their car insurance than the owners of other equivalent premium-sector models. The ABI data was used to calculate the average motor insurance group ratings for Audi models and their rival premium counterparts. Cars are rated using a system which allocates penalty points to each vehicle based upon a number of different factors. These include the purchase price of the car, the cost of its key parts, ease and cost of repairs as well as the results of an independent crash test. Vehicles with the most penalty points end up in higher car insurance groups. Almost every range of Audi's cars posted low average ratings, meaning they cost less to insure. News source: swiftcover.com
