Volkswagen Insurance — Safety Ratings & Recalls by Model

NHTSA crash-tests vehicles and gives each tested variant an overall, frontal, side and rollover rating from one to five stars. Crash-test results shape injury claims, and insurers price injury claims into the premium. A high rating does not set a fixed discount. Ask your insurer which safety equipment earns one.

A recall is a safety defect the maker must repair at no cost to you. Insurers do not price a recall directly. An open recall can raise the chance of a claim, so repair it when you get the notice. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls for open recalls on your vehicle.

Compare quotes from multiple carriers (Truvo compares 50+ for free), keep a clean driving record, bundle your auto and home policies, and ask about discounts for safety equipment, anti-theft devices, low mileage and good students. The same Volkswagen can cost a different amount at each carrier.
