How to buy insurance coverage

Reducing your 1998 Jaguar XJ-Series insurance rates is not rocket science. All that’s required is to take a few minutes to get quotes to discover which company has affordable auto insurance quotes. Rate comparisons can be done using a couple different methods.

  • The simplest way to get the best comparison quotes is to use a rate comparison form click here to open form in new window. This form prevents you from having to do repetitive form submissions to each individual insurance coverage company. One simple form gets rate comparisons from all major companies. It’s definitely the quickest method.
  • A slightly less efficient method to shop for insurance coverage online is going to the website for each individual company and fill out their own quote form. For sake of this example, we’ll assume you want rates from Nationwide, Geico and Travelers. To get each rate you have to spend time on each company’s site and repeatedly type in your coverage information, which can get rather old. For a list of links to companies insuring cars in your area, click here.
  • The least efficient and most time consuming method to do your price quoting is driving to different agent offices. The internet has reduced the need for local agents unless you want the personal advice that only a licensed agent can provide. It is possible with some companies compare the best prices online but buy from a local insurance agent.

Whichever way you use, be certain you are entering equivalent coverages for every quote you compare. If you compare different coverage information then you won’t be able to make a fair rate comparison.

You are unique and your car insurance should be too

When it comes to buying the right insurance coverage, there is no best way to insure your cars. Each situation is unique.

Here are some questions about coverages that might help in determining whether your personal situation would benefit from professional advice.

  • I have good health insurance, so how much medical payments coverage do I need?
  • Does coverage extend to Mexico or Canada?
  • Why am I required to get a high-risk car insurance policy?
  • Can I still get insurance after a DUI?
  • Do I need PIP (personal injury protection) coverage in my state?
  • Do I need medical payments coverage since I have good health insurance?
  • Why am I required to buy high-risk coverage?
  • Is business equipment covered while in my vehicle?

If you’re not sure about those questions but one or more may apply to you, you may need to chat with a licensed agent. If you don’t have a local agent, complete this form. It is quick, free and can provide invaluable advice.

Auto insurance 101

Having a good grasp of insurance can help you determine the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Insurance terms can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance 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 coverage protects against things such as a broken windshield, rock chips in glass, vandalism and damage from flooding. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – This provides protection when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your Jaguar XJ-Series.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Usually these limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Insurance for medical payments – Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for bills for things like surgery, hospital visits, nursing services, chiropractic care and ambulance fees. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Collision coverage – This covers damage to your XJ-Series resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for claims such as backing into a parked car, colliding with another moving vehicle, crashing into a ditch and hitting a mailbox. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Another option is to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Liability coverage – This coverage protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property in an accident. This coverage 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. You might see policy limits of 100/300/100 that means you have a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Some companies may use one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which combines the three limits into one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability can pay for claims like pain and suffering, emergency aid, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, structural damage and repair costs for stationary objects. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.
