Audi RS3 Insurance

Compare Audi RS3 Insurance

The Audi RS3 is a racy hot hatch which lacks in very little. It’s a racy no-compromise version of the A3 range, with aggressive lines and carbon-fibre design touches to match the high-performance five-cylinder 2.5l TFSI engine.

Does its performance justify the cost to insurance it?

Everything about the RS3 is built around performance, so you’ll find the insurance is accordingly on the expensive side. In fact it sits in insurance group 40 (out of 50), putting it alongside the Porsche Cayenne, Mercedes Benz AMG and BMW Z3 in terms of cost.

Is the Audi RS3 worth the price tag?

Starting at more than £50,000, the RS3 does not come cheap. However Audi would argue that it is more ‘reassuringly expensive’, and to be fair the engine and technical specifications are hugely impressive. Reviewers rave about the handling and performance, and in many ways it can out-perform some of the more more expensive cars of its ilk. If you want a car that can perform on track days while also being able to take a few mates and a set of golf clubs on a drive, then there are few more suitable options.

Can I get cheap insurance for an Audi RS3?

If cheap insurance is your main goal, then the simplest method would be to not buy an RS3. However, nobody wants to pay over the odds for something, and if you’re committed to the idea of an RS3 (and, frankly, who could blame you?) then there are a few things you can do to save money on your premiums.

In what ways can I lower the quote on the premium?

The first and biggest thing is to shop around for your policy. At Quotezone.co.uk we’ll search leading insurers for you, making sure you get the best deal available.

Can I help tailor my insurance quote?

You can consider setting your excess (the amount you will pay towards any claim) voluntarily higher, in which case you’ll be considered less of a risk to underwriters. Added extras such as additional security features, a dashcam, or a locked garage where you can keep your car overnight will all help to keep your premium at a minimum, too.

Does the RS3 hold its value?

The good news here is that second-hand Audi RS3s hold their value very well, so if you look after your RS3 you can expect to get a good portion of your outlay back when you decide to part company with it. This will be dependent on the car’s condition, of course, which is all the more reason to ensure you have a good fully comprehensive policy to cover you should the worst happen.
