Want cheaper auto insurance rates for your Jaguar XJ? Nobody that owns a car enjoys paying for auto insurance, especially knowing they could get a better deal. Online insurance companies like Progressive, Geico and Farmers Insurance constantly bombard you with ad campaigns and it is challenging if not impossible to ignore the propoganda and do the work needed to find the best deal.
It’s a good idea to do price comparisons as often as possible because insurance prices change regularly. Despite the fact that you may have had the best rates for XJ insurance two years ago you can probably find a better premium rate now. Block out anything you think you know about auto insurance because you’re about to find out the quickest way to reduce your cost while improving coverage.
Cutting your insurance coverage rates is not rocket science. You just have to spend a little time comparing rate quotes from some recommended companies. Price comparisons can be done using one of these methods.
It’s your choice how you get your quotes, but be sure to compare the exact same quote information for each quote you get. If each company quotes different liability limits it’s impossible to get a fair rate comparison.

Understanding the coverages of a insurance policy can be of help when determining which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find typical coverages offered by insurance companies.
Collision protection
Collision coverage covers damage to your XJ resulting from colliding with an object or car. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision can pay for claims like crashing into a building, sideswiping another vehicle, colliding with a tree, backing into a parked car and hitting a mailbox. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to bring the cost down.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for immediate expenses such as rehabilitation expenses, pain medications and hospital visits. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. It covers all vehicle occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Liability coverage
This will cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people. It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see limits of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 bodily injury coverage, $100,000 for the entire accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Alternatively, you may have one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which combines the three limits into one amount without having the split limit caps.
Liability coverage pays for things like attorney fees, bail bonds, pain and suffering, funeral expenses and emergency aid. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as large an amount as possible.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)
This coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Jaguar XJ.
Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea. Normally these coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Comprehensive insurance
Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against things like a tree branch falling on your vehicle, theft and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
