It’s a good habit to check car insurance prices before your policy renews because insurance prices are adjusted regularly by insurance companies. Just because you found the best quotes on XJ-Series coverage two years ago there is a good chance you can find better rates now. Don’t believe everything you read about car insurance out there, but in just a couple of minutes you can learn some proven techniques to reduce your car insurance bill.

How to get low cost car insurance

Many insurance companies make it easy to get coverage price quotes directly from their websites. The process can be done by anyone because you just enter the coverages you want into the form. After you submit the form their system will obtain information on your driving record and credit history and gives you a price quote based on the data you entered. Online quotes helps simplify price comparisons, but the work required to visit many different websites and fill out multiple forms can be a bit tiresome and repetitive. But it is imperative to have as many quotes as possible in order to get lower prices.

There is a better way!

An easier way to compare rates makes use of a single form that gets prices from a bunch of companies at once. This type of form saves time, eliminates repetitive work, and makes online price comparison a lot less work. After your information is entered, it is quoted with multiple companies and you can pick your choice of the quote results.

If a lower price is quoted, you can simply submit the application and purchase the new policy. The whole process takes less than 15 minutes and you’ll know if lower rates are available.

To quickly use this form to compare rates, click here and submit your coverage information. To compare your current rates, we recommend you copy the insurance coverages identical to your current policy. Doing this assures you will have comparison quotes based on the exact same insurance coverage.

Is there truth in advertising?

Consumers constantly see and hear ads that claim the best prices from companies such as State Farm and Allstate. All the ads advertise the message of big savings after switching your coverage.

How does each company give you a better price? You have to listen carefully.

Companies quote the lowest rates for the type of driver that will be a good risk. For instance, a profitable insured may need to be between the ages of 30 and 50, insures multiple vehicles, and drives less than 5,000 miles a year. Any new insured that fits those parameters receive the lowest rate quotes and therefore will save some money.

Insureds who may not quite match those criteria will probably be forced to pay a more expensive rate which usually ends up with the prospect going elsewhere. If you listen to the ad wording, they say “drivers who switch” not “all people who quote” save that kind of money. That’s why companies can advertise the way they do.

Because of this risk profiling, you really should do a quote comparison often. It is just not possible to predict which company will fit you best based on your risk profile.

Lower rates by qualifying for discounts

Insurance is not an enjoyable expense, but discounts can save money and there are some available that could drop your premiums quite a bit. Some trigger automatically when you purchase, but some may not be applied and must be specially asked for prior to getting the savings.

  • Student in College – Any of your kids who are attending college and don’t have a car may be insured at a cheaper rate.
  • Paperless Signup – A few larger companies give back up to $50 shop auto insurance over the internet.
  • Government Employee Discount – Having worked for a branch of the government can save as much as 8% on XJ-Series coverage depending on your insurance provider.
  • Drivers Ed for Students – Have your child complete a driver education course in high school.
  • Telematics Data – Drivers who elect to allow data collection to spy on when and where they use their vehicle by using a telematics device in their vehicle such as Progressive’s Snapshot and State Farm’s In-Drive could save a few bucks if they exhibit good driving behavior.
  • Multi-line Discount – Larger companies have a small discount if you purchase a life insurance policy as well.
  • Theft Deterent – Cars, trucks, and SUVs with anti-theft systems are less likely to be stolen and earn discounts up to 10% off your auto insurance quote.
  • Student Discounts – Getting good grades can be rewarded with saving of up to 25%. Many companies even apply the discount to college students up to age 25.
  • Low Mileage Discounts – Maintaining low annual mileage could qualify for substantially lower rates.
  • Discounts for Safe Drivers – Drivers without accidents may save up to 50% more on XJ-Series coverage compared to accident prone drivers.

It’s important to understand that many deductions do not apply to the overall cost of the policy. Most only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. So despite the fact that it appears all those discounts means the company will pay you, company stockholders wouldn’t be very happy.

Learn about auto insurance coverages for a 2000 Jaguar XJ-Series

Understanding the coverages of your policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Shown next are the normal coverages found on the average auto insurance policy.

Comprehensive auto insurance – This coverage will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things like a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from a tornado or hurricane, theft, hail damage and a broken windshield. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Collision – Collision coverage pays for damage to your XJ-Series from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision insurance covers things such as driving through your garage door, colliding with another moving vehicle and colliding with a tree. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. You can also raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers – Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your 2000 Jaguar XJ-Series.

Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family. Usually these coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Coverage for medical expenses – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for bills like pain medications, rehabilitation expenses, surgery and X-ray expenses. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover all vehicle occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Liability car insurance – Liability insurance will cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You might see limits of 25/50/25 which stand for $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Alternatively, you may have a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability can pay for claims such as legal defense fees, medical services, repair costs for stationary objects and structural damage. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.

More quotes mean more savings

Lower-priced 2000 Jaguar XJ-Series insurance is available both online and from local insurance agents, and you should be comparing both to have the best chance of lowering rates. There are still a few companies who don’t offer price quotes online and these smaller providers sell through independent insurance agents.

As you prepare to switch companies, you should never skimp on coverage in order to save money. There have been many cases where someone dropped comprehensive coverage or liability limits and discovered at claim time that it was a big error on their part. The aim is to purchase plenty of coverage at the best possible price while still protecting your assets.
