How much is Audi Q5 insurance in Ohio?
For the driver profile in our methodology, a 2024 Audi Q5 costs between $31/mo at the state minimum and $254/mo for low-deductible full coverage. Most owners land in the full-coverage row — lenders and lessors require it.
| Coverage level | What it covers | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum Coverage | Other people's injuries and property only | $31 – $51 | $372 – $612 |
| Liability OnlyYou’re viewing this tier | Higher limits; still nothing for your car | $54 – $90 | $648 – $1,080 |
| Full CoverageMost owners | Adds damage to your Q5, theft, glass | $129 – $215 | $1,548 – $2,580 |
| Full Coverage + Low Deductible | Same, with less out of pocket per claim | $152 – $254 | $1,824 – $3,048 |
What liability only includes
- Liability limits above the 25/50/25 floor (typically 50/100 or 100/300 in the market — your quote sets the number)
- No required PIP in this state
- Uninsured/underinsured motorist — not listed as part of the state minimum here
- Still no comprehensive or collision on the Q5
What Ohio requires to drive a Q5
Ohio lists 25/50/25 as the liability floor. That is what makes a Q5 legal to drive — not full coverage, not a $500 deductible, and not a particular carrier.
- Liability floor
- 25/50/25
- Fault system
- Ohio is a tort (at-fault) state — the driver who causes a crash is who liability pays for.
- PIP
- PIP is not a required minimum in this state.
- Uninsured motorist in the minimum
- UM/UIM is not listed as part of the state minimum in our registry — it is typically added, not assumed.
Q5 insurance cost by model year
Newer models cost more to insure — a 2024 Q5 runs about 17% more than a 2020 — because comp and collision track replacement value and parts cost. Liability barely moves with age.
| Model year | Full coverage / mo | Liability / mo | vs. 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | $129 – $215 | $54 – $90 | — |
| 2023 | $123 – $204 | $53 – $89 | −5% |
| 2022 | $117 – $196 | $53 – $88 | −9% |
| 2021 | $112 – $187 | $52 – $86 | −13% |
| 2020 | $107 – $178 | $51 – $85 | −17% |
Q5 vs. comparable vehicles
How the Q5 stacks up against the vehicles shoppers most often cross-shop it with. Same coverage, same driver profile.
| Vehicle | Full coverage / mo | vs. Q5 | Why it differs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Audi Q5 | $129 – $215 | — | Above-average claim severity |
| Tesla Model Y | $129 – $215 | — | Model Y matches the sticker but adds EV-specific repair costs. |
| BMW X5 | $129 – $215 | — | X5's larger body and sticker raise replacement cost. |
| Lexus RX | $129 – $215 | — | RX undercuts on both parts cost and claim frequency. |
Q5 insurance cost by Ohio city
Cleveland drivers pay about 16% above the state average while Dayton runs 3% below. City pricing follows claim frequency — dense-metro traffic and repair costs carry the surcharge.
| City | Full coverage / mo | vs. OH average |
|---|---|---|
| Cleveland | $150 – $249 | +16% |
| Columbus | $146 – $243 | +13% |
| Cincinnati | $143 – $239 | +11% |
| Toledo | $132 – $219 | +2% |
| Dayton | $125 – $209 | −3% |
Why Q5 insurance costs what it costs
Liability-only on a 2024 Audi Q5 in Ohio raises the limits above 25/50/25 but still leaves the Q5 uninsured for its own damage. Collision, theft, hail, glass, and animal strikes stay with the owner.
The Q5 is a SUV in the luxury / EV MSRP tier, with above-average claim severity in our model and a 5-star NHTSA overall rating in our registry. It is not on the NICB top-100 most-stolen list in our registry, so theft is not a modeled comprehensive surcharge here.
Liability-only here ($54 – $90) sits between the $31 – $51 minimum and $129 – $215 full-coverage bands. You are paying for higher limits, not for repairing the Q5.
Cleveland is modeled 16% above the OH average ($150 – $249/mo full coverage on this Q5); Dayton is modeled 3% below at $125 – $209. Those city factors scale the same band as the hero — they are not a second rate file.

Is liability only the right tier for you?
- The Q5 is paid off and you want more lawsuit room than 25/50/25 without paying $129 – $215 for the car itself
- You can cash-fund a total loss on this luxury / EV-tier SUV
- You are deliberately banking the $75–$125/mo gap to full coverage
- Financed or leased Q5 — comprehensive and collision are typically required
- A newer luxury / EV-tier SUV whose replacement cost still dwarfs $54 – $90
- Drivers who park in weather- or theft-exposed conditions and cannot self-insure comprehensive losses
$500 vs $250 deductible on a Q5
On a Q5 this model prices a $250 deductible at $23–$39/mo above the $500 deductible. You save $250 per comprehensive or collision claim; you pay the extra premium every month whether you claim or not.
| Tier | Deductible | Monthly | Annual | In this file |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard full coverage | $500 | $129 – $215 | $1,548–$2,580 | Default first-party deductible in this model |
| Low-deductible full coverage | $250 | $152 – $254 | $1,824–$3,048 | Priced at 1.18× the $500 band in rates.ts |
Add-ons that are not automatic on liability coverage
These are typical market add-ons, not Ohio mandates and not priced in our rate model. Confirm each line on a quote.
- Roadside assistance
Useful on a SUV you drive far from a dealer network — towing, lockout, flat.
2024 vehicles may still have factory roadside; stacking two roadside products rarely helps.
- Medical payments (MedPay)
Ohio does not require PIP, so MedPay is the usual small first-party medical add-on for occupants.
It is not a substitute for health insurance, and it is not required in this state.
Carriers that commonly quote Ohio
These are carriers we have real logos for and that commonly quote Ohio. We do not publish a per-carrier Q5 price — that would be a fabricated quote. The range on this page is the modeled band, not “from $X at GEICO.”

How to lower your Q5 rate
- Raise your deductible to $1,000. On a Q5 premium this is the single biggest lever you control directly.Saves ~$14–$26/mo
- Shop at least three carriers. Rates for the identical Q5 profile differ by 2x or more between carriers in Ohio.Saves up to $1,000+/yr
- Clean up billing. Paid-in-full, paperless, and autopay credits stack — small individually, real together, and none are applied unless you ask.Saves 3–8%
- Ask about safety-tech discounts. Automatic emergency braking, lane keeping, and anti-theft equipment all carry filed credits with some carriers — none are applied unless you ask.Saves 3–8%
- Report your real mileage. Commuting under ~10,000 miles a year moves you down a rating band with most carriers, and pay-per-mile programs go further if you drive little.Saves 5–15%
- Bundle home or renters. Multi-policy is the largest standing discount most carriers file — typically 10–20% off the auto side.Saves 10–20%
About these numbers
Sources. Rate ranges are modeled from average premiums published by the Ohio Department of Insurance and industry rate data, adjusted per vehicle using NICB theft rankings, NHTSA safety ratings, MSRP tier, and repair-severity data. They are estimates, not filed quotes.
Rating profile. Unless noted: a 35–55-year-old driver with a clean record, average credit where states allow it, 12,000 annual miles, and standard $500 comprehensive and collision deductibles. Your rate will differ — that is the point of quoting.
Ranges, not averages. We publish a band rather than a single average because the spread between carriers for the same driver routinely exceeds 2x — a lone number hides the gap that makes shopping worth your time.
What this model does not do. It does not publish age-band prices, ticket/DUI/credit surcharge tables, per-carrier quotes, J.D. Power ranks, NAIC complaint indexes, or IIHS/HLDI scores. Vehicle knobs are only the four in the rate model: MSRP tier, NICB theft rank, NHTSA stars, and repair-severity tier. The $250-deductible band is the $500 band × 1.18.
Audi Q5 insurance in Ohio: FAQ
01What extra do I get vs Ohio minimum on a Q5?
Higher liability caps than 25/50/25. You still do not have comprehensive or collision. The modeled price for that middle tier is $54 – $90; full coverage on the same 2024 Audi Q5 is $129 – $215.
02What does Ohio actually require to drive a Q5?
Ohio lists 25/50/25 as the liability floor. Full coverage is a market/lender product on top of that, modeled here at $129 – $215 for a 2024 Audi Q5.
03Does Q5 insurance cost more in Cleveland than in Dayton?
In this model, yes — Cleveland is 16% vs the OH average ($150 – $249/mo full coverage) and Dayton is -3% ($125 – $209). Same 2024 Audi Q5, same driver profile; only the city factor changes.
04Does a 5-star NHTSA rating lower Q5 insurance in Ohio?
This model applies a small credit for a 5-star overall NHTSA rating (the Q5 is a 5). It is one of four vehicle modifiers next to MSRP tier, theft rank, and repair tier — not a standalone “safety discount” we can quote as a percent off your bill.
