I have been with Audi Ins for some years, through Q3 BE, RSQ3s and latterly RS4 without any drama. Recently Audi Ins notified me that it was transferring the business to Liverpool Victoria Insurance Coy.
This morning an email arrived offering me continued cover identical to my previous policies however the cost is increased to £800, from last year's £664. There have been no changes to any of the policy details except I am a year older.
I understand that the cost of everything rises, but by circa 30% is tantamount to robbery without violence. In the light of this I would whole heartedly advise owners to steer clear of Audi Ins.
Can anyone point to a broker who may be able to quote a sensible price for my RS4. The principal need is to acquire the appropriate cover I enjoyed previously at a sensible price.
I am beginning to understand why so many people drive without insurance.
Thanks,
Mike
 
I used Chris Knott when I had the S3, they usually came in cheapest as it was modified. I’m currently with Aviva but will be shopping around in January if they’re not competitive.

Chris Knott weren’t competitive when I got the RS4 (maybe because it’s not modified) but insurance is an individual thing so it might work out for you.

Try the usual price comparison sites (confused, go compare etc) and you can get some cash back through sites like TopCashback or Quidco.
 
I really struggled to get my RS4 insured. I think it was mainly due to the fact it was new at the time (quite expensive), and many of the mainstream insurers wouldn’t touch me.

I had several cars already on a multicar policy with Admiral, so in the end I tried with them and got a competitive quote of about £500. I’ve not had to make a claim with them before so I can’t comment on their quality, but in terms of cover and price they seemed reasonable. I also tried Audi Insurance but their cost was astronomical.

Axa in the past were good for my 8V S3 too and I used them for several years on the trot, but they wouldn’t insure the RS. I think the key is to shop around as you’ve already alluded to. Gone are the days where loyalty is rewarded….
