Factors influencing Jaguar XF insurance rates

Consumers need to have an understanding of the rating factors that go into determining the price you pay for car insurance. Knowing what determines base rates allows you to make educated decisions that will entitle you to lower car insurance prices.

  • Pay less after the wedding – Having a spouse helps lower the price on your policy. Having a significant other usually means you are more mature than a single person and it’s proven that being married results in fewer claims.
  • High credit ratings translate to low rates – A driver’s credit history is a big factor in your rate calculation. If your credit history is not that good, you could potentially save money when insuring your 2013 Jaguar XF by improving your credit score. Drivers who have good credit tend to be better drivers and file fewer claims than drivers who have lower credit scores.
  • Higher safety ratings means cheaper insurance – Safer cars tend to have better insurance rates. These vehicles have better occupant injury protection and any reduction in injury severity translates into fewer and smaller insurance claims passed on to you as lower rates. If the Jaguar XF earned at least four stars on Safercar.gov or an “acceptable” rating on iihs.org it is probably cheaper to insure.
  • Where you live can impact rates – Choosing to live in less populated areas is a positive aspect when insuring your vehicles. Lower population translates into fewer accidents. Drivers in populated areas regularly have more traffic problems and longer commutes to work. Higher commute times means more change of being in an accident.
  • Younger drivers pay higher rates – Teen drivers are statistically proven to get distracted easily when behind the wheel so they pay higher car insurance rates. Older insureds are more responsible, tend to file fewer claims and get fewer tickets.
  • Rates may be lower depending on your job – Did you know that where you work can have an impact on rates? Occupations such as judges, architects and financial analysts have higher average rates attributed to high stress levels and long work days. Conversely, jobs such as actors, engineers and performers get better rates for XF insurance.
  • Lower miles equals lower premium – The more you drive in a year the more you will pay for car insurance. Most companies charge to insure your cars based on how the vehicle is used. Cars used primarily for pleasure use qualify for better rates than vehicles that are driven to work every day. If your policy improperly rates your XF can cost quite a bit. Double check that your car insurance policy is showing the correct driver usage.
  • How many coverages with the same company – Many companies give discounts to insureds who buy several policies from them. It’s known as a multi-policy discount. Discounts can be anywhere from five to ten percent in most cases. Even if you’re getting this discount you still need to compare rates to confirm you are receiving the best rates possible.

Pay less by taking advantage of discounts

Car insurance is not cheap, but there could be available discounts to help offset the cost. Certain discounts will be applied when you complete an application, but a few must be requested specifically before you will receive the discount.

  • Safety Course Discount – Completing a course in driver safety could save 5% or more depending on where you live.
  • Life Insurance Discount – Select insurance companies reward you with a discount if you purchase a life insurance policy as well.
  • Employee of Federal Government – Simply working for the federal government can save as much as 8% for XF insurance with a few insurance companies.
  • Discounts for Safe Drivers – Drivers who don’t get into accidents can pay as much as 50% less for XF insurance than drivers with accidents.
  • Save with a New Car – Insuring a new car is cheaper compared to insuring an older model.

It’s important to understand that most discounts do not apply to all coverage premiums. Some only apply to individual premiums such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. Just because it seems like adding up those discounts means a free policy, you won’t be that lucky. But any discount will bring down your premiums.

Companies that possibly offer these benefits are:

Double check with each company how you can save money. Discounts may not be available in your state.

Don’t listen to company ads

Companies like State Farm, Geico and Progressive regularly use ads in print and on television. All the ads make an identical promise that you can save if you move to them. How can each company claim to save you money?

All companies are able to cherry pick for the right customer they prefer to insure. For example, a driver they prefer could possibly be between 25 and 40, has no tickets, and has excellent credit. Any new insured who meets those qualifications is entitled to the best price and most likely will pay quite a bit less when switching companies.

Drivers who do not match these standards will be quoted higher premiums which leads to the driver buying from a lower-cost company. The ads say “people who switch” not “everyone that quotes” save money. That’s the way insurance companies can confidently make those claims.

This emphasizes why you need to compare as many rates as you can. It’s not possible to predict which company will fit your personal profile best.

Your coverage should be tailored to you

When it comes to buying the right insurance coverage, there really is not a best way to insure your cars. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.

Here are some questions about coverages that can aid in determining whether or not you will benefit from professional help.

  • Am I covered if my car is in a flood?
  • Who is covered by my policy?
  • Do I have coverage for damage caused while driving under the influence?
  • Is a fancy paint job covered?
  • How can I find cheaper teen driver insurance?
  • When would I need rental car insurance?
  • When should I drop full coverage on my 2013 Jaguar XF?
  • Do I have newly-aquired coverage?
  • Am I covered when pulling a rental trailer?

If you can’t answer these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you might consider talking to a licensed agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, simply complete this short form.

Specific coverage details

Knowing the specifics of a insurance policy can help you determine the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Coverage for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for things like ambulance fees, dental work, funeral costs, doctor visits and rehabilitation expenses. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Uninsured and underinsured coverage

This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your 2013 Jaguar XF.

Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea. Normally the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Collision coverage

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for things like scraping a guard rail, driving through your garage door and sideswiping another vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Coverage for liability

This coverage protects you from damage that occurs to people or other property that is your fault. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have values of 25/50/25 that means you have a limit of $25,000 per injured person, $50,000 for the entire accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Occasionally you may see one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which provides one coverage limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability can pay for things like court costs, loss of income and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Comprehensive coverages

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, falling objects and a broken windshield. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

In any little way, save everyday

Lower-priced 2013 Jaguar XF insurance can be found from both online companies and with local insurance agents, so compare prices from both to have the best selection. A few companies do not offer you the ability to get quotes online and usually these smaller companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.

People change insurance companies for any number of reasons including lack of trust in their agent, high rates after DUI convictions, unfair underwriting practices and even delays in responding to claim requests. Whatever your reason, finding a great new company is pretty simple and you could end up saving a buck or two.

As you restructure your insurance plan, do not reduce coverage to reduce premium. There are many occasions where consumers will sacrifice liability limits or collision coverage only to find out that it was a big mistake. Your aim should be to buy a smart amount of coverage at a price you can afford, not the least amount of coverage.
