Insurance coverage rates and discounts

Insurance can cost an arm and a leg, but there may be some discounts that you may not even know about. Some trigger automatically at the time you complete a quote, but some must be specially asked for before being credited. If you do not check that you are getting every discount possible, it’s possible you qualify for a lower rate.

  • Driver’s Ed – Cut your cost by having your teen driver enroll and complete driver’s education if offered at their school.
  • Safety Restraint Discount – Buckling up and requiring all passengers to buckle up can save 10% or more off the PIP or medical payment premium.
  • Service Members Pay Less – Being deployed with a military unit could mean lower prices.
  • Good Student – This discount can save 20 to 25%. Most companies allow this discount up until you turn 25.
  • Own a Home – Owning your own home or condo may trigger a policy discount on insurance coverage since home ownership means you have a higher level of financial diligence.
  • Auto/Life Discount – Companies who offer life insurance give lower prices if you buy life insurance from them.

It’s important to understand that most credits do not apply the the whole policy. Most only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like liability and collision coverage. So even though they make it sound like all those discounts means the company will pay you, companies don’t profit that way.

Companies who may offer most of these discounts include:

It’s a good idea to ask each insurance company what discounts are available to you. Some discounts might not apply everywhere. To locate providers with significant discounts, click here.

How to buy insurance online

There are several ways to compare insurance quotes, and some are easier and takes less work. You could waste a few hours talking to local insurance agents in your area, or you can stay home and use the web to quickly compare rates.

Many insurance companies enroll in a system that allows shoppers to enter their policy data once, and each company can give them a price for coverage. This prevents consumers from doing quotation requests for each company. To participate in this free quote system, click to open in new window.

The one disadvantage to pricing coverage this way is you are unable to specify the companies you will receive quotes from. If you would rather choose specific insurance companies to request quotes from, we have assembled a list of companies who write insurance in your area. View list of insurance companies.

It’s your choice how you get your quotes, but try to use nearly identical quote information on every price quote you get. If you have different limits and deductibles on each one you will not be able to determine which company has the best rates.

Situations that may require an agent’s advice

When it comes to choosing adequate coverage for your vehicles, there really is not a “perfect” insurance plan. Everyone’s needs are different.

These are some specific questions can help discover if your situation could use an agent’s help.

  • Can I drive in Mexico and have coverage?
  • Is rental equipment covered for theft or damage?
  • Is my cargo covered for damage or theft?
  • Is my Jaguar XF covered if I use it for business?
  • Am I covered when driving on a suspended license?
  • Can I get a multi-policy discount?

If you can’t answer these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you might consider talking to an insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, fill out this quick form. It’s fast, doesn’t cost anything and you can get the answers you need.

Coverages available on your policy

Knowing the specifics of your policy helps when choosing which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Liability coverages

Liability insurance will cover damage that occurs to a person or their property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show policy limits of 100/300/100 that means you have a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, $300,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property. Another option is a combined limit which combines the three limits into one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage pays for claims such as loss of income, court costs, pain and suffering and legal defense fees. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.

Comprehensive coverages

Comprehensive insurance covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things like damage from flooding, falling objects, hitting a bird, damage from a tornado or hurricane and rock chips in glass. The maximum amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Coverage for medical payments

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses such as dental work, chiropractic care, nursing services and EMT expenses. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover all vehicle occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible

Uninsured and underinsured coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your Jaguar XF.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked. Most of the time the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Coverage for collisions

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision insurance covers claims such as rolling your car, crashing into a ditch and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Don’t be a big spender

You just read some good ideas how to lower your 2013 Jaguar XF insurance rates. The most important thing to understand is the more times you quote, the better your comparison will be. Consumers may even find the lowest rates are with some of the smallest insurance companies.

When trying to cut insurance costs, make sure you don’t buy less coverage just to save a little money. In too many instances, an insured dropped physical damage coverage only to regret they didn’t purchase enough coverage. Your strategy should be to buy enough coverage at the lowest possible cost, not the least amount of coverage.

Some insurance providers don’t offer the ability to get quotes online and these regional insurance providers only sell through local independent agencies. More affordable car insurance is available from both online companies and from local insurance agents, and you should compare price quotes from both so you have a total pricing picture.
