In brief
The RS Q3 is the smallest body in the range with the most powerful drivetrain beneath it. That attracts its own kind of owner and produces its own kind of file: of all the models in this group, this is the car on which something has most often been changed in the engine management, the exhaust or the suspension. For the insurance that is the decisive point, not the height or the weight.
A modification that changes the power, the top speed or the handling is an increase in risk. You must declare it. Article 7:928 DCC governs the duty of disclosure when the insurance is taken out; changes during the term must, under virtually all conditions, be reported within a fixed period. If you conceal a power increase and damage occurs, the insurer can reduce or refuse the payout under Article 7:930 DCC.
Watch too what happens with the car on a circuit. Virtually every policy excludes taking part in speed events, timed runs and driving skill or track days. That also applies where the day is offered as a 'touring run' or 'tuition day'. Ask your insurer in writing in advance what is permitted. For the types of cover see comprehensive or third-party, fire and theft.
Independent, personal, sorted quickly
We compare your car insurance across dozens of insurers, explain where the real differences lie, and arrange the switch from start to finish — without you having to chase it yourself.

What does Audi RS Q3 car insurance cover?
The structure of the cover in three parts, with an overview per situation below.
Third-party, fire and theft
Causes beyond your control.
- Fire and storm
- Theft
- Windscreen damage
Comprehensive
Including damage you cause yourself.
- Own fault
- Vandalism
- Replacement-as-new period
What is covered
| Situation | Third-party liability | Third-party, fire and theft | Comprehensive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Damage to the other party | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Theft | No | Yes | Yes |
| Fire and storm | No | Yes | Yes |
| Damage you cause yourself | No | No | Yes |
| Wear and mechanical defects | No | No | No |
| Driving without a valid licence | No | No | No |
This overview is general in nature and is not personal advice. What is actually covered, including exclusions, limits and the excess, is set out in the policy conditions and the insurance card (verzekeringskaart) of the insurer; you receive both before you take out cover. Taking out cover without advice? Then read what execution only means for you.
What does your premium depend on?
- Power in relation to weight. On this model that ratio counts for more than the dimensions or the number of seats.
- Modifications declared. Tuning that has been declared and accepted pushes the premium up; undeclared tuning costs you the cover.
- Age and driving experience of the driver. At high power outputs insurers often apply a minimum age and a minimum number of no-claims years.
- The insurer's underwriting policy. Not every company accepts this segment. The number of providers is smaller than for the mainstream models.
- Storage and security. An approved alarm or tracking system may be set as a condition of acceptance on this type.
- Excess. On sporting versions an increased excess or a young driver clause is often applied.
Insurers weigh these details differently. That is where your saving is.

9.5New policy
9.8Claims handling
Customers rate our service on four aspects: personal service, service delivery, availability and the outcome. The reviews are collected and published by NH1816 and come from customers who have actually taken out a policy with Finass Advies B.V. or reported a claim.
Where things go wrong in practice
Four points that make the difference between a policy that pays out and one that does not.
Report every change in power before you drive
Chip tuning, a modified ECU, a different turbo or a sports exhaust that changes the power must be reported. The insurer then reassesses whether it accepts the risk and on what terms. If you do not report it, the question when you claim is whether it would have written the policy on the same terms. Article 7:930 DCC then allows it to reduce or entirely refuse the payout, including on damage unconnected with the modification.
Suspension, wheels and brakes count too
Lowering springs, different wheel sizes, coilovers and modified brake systems change the handling and the braking distance. They also have to meet road traffic law requirements and fit within the type approval. A modification without approval means the vehicle is not permitted on public roads. If you drive it anyway, that affects both the roadworthiness test and the cover. Keep test reports and fitting invoices with your policy papers.
Track days and speed events are excluded
Taking part in competitions, speed trials, timed runs and driving on a closed circuit is excluded on a private policy, including practice and tuition laps. A skid course in your own car also falls under this with many insurers. If you do want to do it, separate day cover is needed. That usually covers liability but not your own car. Assume that in advance and not afterwards.
What else stays outside the cover
Also excluded are wear to the clutch, brakes and tyres from hard driving, engine damage from overloading or overheating, and damage resulting from a faulty or badly fitted modification. Intent and wilful recklessness fall under Article 7:952 DCC. On serious speeding offences the insurer pays the other party under Article 2 of the Dutch Motor Insurance Liability Act (WAM), but may refuse the own-damage claim.
Frequently asked questions
This is what people ask us most.
Do I have to declare chip tuning to my insurer?
Yes. An increase in power changes the risk the insurer has accepted and must, under virtually all conditions, be reported within a fixed period. If you do not, it can rely on Article 7:930 of the Dutch Civil Code when you claim and reduce or refuse the payout. Report it in writing and keep the confirmation with your policy.
Am I insured on a track day?
In principle, no. Speed events, timed runs and driving on a closed circuit are excluded as standard, including on a day offered as tuition or a touring run. Separate day cover exists, but it usually only pays for liability towards third parties and not for damage to your own car. Ask for the conditions in advance.
What happens to my cover after a serious speeding offence?
The other party is paid in any event; Article 2 WAM does not allow the insurer to escape that obligation. For your own own-damage claim it is different: in cases of wilful recklessness the insurer can refuse under Article 7:952 of the Dutch Civil Code and recover the amount paid to the other party from the driver. A criminal conviction counts in that assessment.
Are different wheels and a lowering kit a problem?
Only if they have not been declared or are not permitted. Changes to the suspension, wheel size or brakes alter the handling and must stay within the type approval. Report them to the insurer and keep the fitting and test certificates. A modification without approval means the car is not permitted on the road, and that affects your cover too.
