Lots of discounts mean lots of savings

Insurance can be prohibitively expensive, but there are discounts available that many people don’t even know exist. Some trigger automatically when you quote, but lesser-known reductions have to be asked about prior to getting the savings. If you don’t get every credit available, you’re paying more than you need to.

  • No Claims – Drivers with accident-free driving histories pay much less when compared with frequent claim filers.
  • Multiple Vehicles – Having multiple vehicles on one policy could earn a price break for each car.
  • Homeowners Savings – Owning a home can help you save on car insurance due to the fact that maintaining a home shows financial diligence.
  • Defensive Driving Course – Taking part in a driver safety course could cut 5% off your bill depending on where you live.
  • Discount for Life Insurance – Companies who offer life insurance give lower rates if you buy life insurance from them.

Drivers should understand that many deductions do not apply to your bottom line cost. Most cut individual premiums such as liability and collision coverage. So despite the fact that it appears all the discounts add up to a free policy, car insurance companies aren’t that generous. Any qualifying discounts will cut the amount you have to pay.

Insurance companies that may have these discounts include:

It’s a good idea to ask every prospective company how you can save money. All car insurance discounts might not be offered in every state.

Situations that might require an agent

When choosing coverage for your vehicles, there isn’t really a one size fits all plan. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s.

These are some specific questions could help you determine whether or not you might need professional guidance.

  • What is high-risk coverage and where do I buy it?
  • Where can I find high-risk insurance?
  • If my 2008 Jaguar X-Type is totaled, can I afford another vehicle?
  • When should my teen driver be added to my policy?
  • Why am I required to buy liability insurance?
  • How do I file an SR-22 for a DUI in my state?
  • Am I covered if I crash into my own garage door?
  • Does my policy cover my teen driver if they drive my company car?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions, you might consider talking to an insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, fill out this quick form. It’s fast, free and can help protect your family.

Auto insurance coverage breakdown

Learning about specific coverages of your auto insurance policy aids in choosing which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement.

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your X-Type resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for things like crashing into a building, hitting a parking meter, colliding with a tree and driving through your garage door. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Medical costs insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for bills for EMT expenses, X-ray expenses, pain medications, doctor visits and rehabilitation expenses. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Auto liability

This provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property. It protects YOU against claims from other people. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see liability limits of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Some companies may use a combined single limit or CSL which limits claims to one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability coverage protects against things such as funeral expenses, emergency aid, bail bonds and legal defense fees. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as falling objects, damage from a tornado or hurricane and damage from getting keyed. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

UM/UIM Coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Jaguar X-Type.

Since 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 these coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Be Smart and Buy Smart

Low-cost 2008 Jaguar X-Type insurance is available both online and with local insurance agents, and you should be comparing both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. A few companies do not offer online quoting and many times these small insurance companies only sell through independent insurance agents.

We just presented many ideas to compare insurance prices online. The most important thing to understand is the more rate comparisons you have, the better likelihood of reducing your rate. Consumers could even find that the biggest savings come from some of the smallest insurance companies.

As you shop your coverage around, it’s not a good idea to reduce needed coverages to save money. In too many instances, someone dropped physical damage coverage and discovered at claim time that the savings was not a smart move. The aim is to find the BEST coverage at an affordable rate.
