Feel like you’re a prisoner to an overpriced car insurance policy? Believe me when I say there are many consumers feeling the pinch from expensive car insurance.
Many auto insurance companies compete for your business, and it can be difficult to compare rates to find the best rate
It’s a good idea to compare rates every six months due to the fact that insurance rates change quite often. Just because you found the best rates on XF coverage last year you can probably find a better price now. Forget anything you know (or think you know) about car insurance because we’re going to demonstrate the things you must know in order to find better coverage at a better price.
Finding Car Insurance Deals
Most companies such as State Farm, GEICO and Progressive allow you to get price estimates online. The process doesn’t take a lot of time as you simply type in the coverage amounts you desire into the quote form. After the form is submitted, the system will obtain information on your driving record and credit history and gives you a price quote based on these factors. This helps simplify price comparisons, but the time required to go to each company’s website and repetitively complete many quote forms can get tiresome after awhile. But it’s absolutely necessary to have as many quotes as possible if you want to find better prices.
A less time-consuming method to compare rates requires only one form to obtain quotes from several different companies. The form is fast, helps eliminate reptitive entry, and makes online quotes much more enjoyable. As soon as the form is sent, your coverage is rated and you are able to buy any of the quotes returned.
If you find a better price you simply finish the application and buy the policy. It only takes a few minutes and you’ll know if lower rates are available.

Elements that influence Jaguar XF rates
Smart consumers have a good feel for the different types of things that help determine the price you pay for car insurance. Knowing what impacts premium levels enables informed choices that will entitle you to better car insurance rates.
The following are a partial list of the pieces car insurance companies consider when setting prices.
- Do you know you’re credit rating? – Credit history is a big factor in determining what you pay for car insurance. So if your credit rating is not that good, you could save money insuring your Jaguar XF by improving your rating. Consumers who have good credit tend to be less risk to insure as compared to drivers with lower credit scores.
- Pay less if you’re married – Having a spouse can actually save you money on your policy. Having a spouse translates into being more responsible it has been statistically shown that being married results in fewer claims.
- Lower deductibles cost more – Physical damage deductibles represent how much money you are required to spend out-of-pocket before your car insurance pays a claim. Physical damage coverage, termed comprehensive and collision coverage on your policy, protects your car from damage. Some instances where coverage would apply would be colliding with a building, vandalism, or theft. The more money you are required to pay out-of-pocket, the less your company will charge you for insurance on XF coverage.
- Your occupation can affect rates – Did you know your occupation can influence how much you pay for car insurance? Jobs such as doctors, executives and dentists tend to pay the highest average rates because of job stress and long work hours. Other occupations like farmers, historians and homemakers have the lowest average rates on XF coverage.
Take discounts and save
Insurance can cost an arm and a leg, but you can get discounts to help bring down the price. Most are applied at quote time, but less common discounts must be inquired about in order for you to get them.
- Student in College – Any of your kids who live away from home without a vehicle on campus may be able to be covered for less.
- Drivers Ed for Students – Require your teen driver to enroll in driver’s education in high school.
- Save with a New Car – Insuring a new car can save up to 30% due to better safety requirements for new cars.
- Accident Waiver – Some insurance companies will allow you to have one accident before your rates go up if you are claim-free for a set time period.
- Safety Course Discount – Taking part in a driver safety course could possibly earn you a 5% discount if you qualify.
As a disclaimer on discounts, most of the big mark downs will not be given to all coverage premiums. A few only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like comprehensive or collision. So even though it sounds like you can get free auto insurance, it just doesn’t work that way. But any discount will reduce the amount you have to pay.
Which policy gives me the best coverage?
When it comes to choosing the best car insurance coverage for your vehicles, there really is not a “best” method to buy coverage. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs so this has to be addressed. These are some specific questions may help highlight whether or not you would benefit from an agent’s advice.
- Should I put collision coverage on all my vehicles?
- Does my policy cover me when driving someone else’s vehicle?
- Does coverage extend to a rental car in a foreign country?
- Are my friends covered when driving my Jaguar XF?
- How do I file an SR-22 for a DUI in my state?
- Do I need motorclub coverage?
- Where can I get insurance after a DUI in my state?
If you can’t answer these questions but one or more may apply to you, then you may want to think about talking to an agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form or click here for a list of car insurance companies in your area.
Quote often and quote early
