The insurance rates you pay on your sporty
Jaguar can vary considerably, depending on the insurance company, agent
or broker, the type of coverage's you choose, and the amount of driving
you do. Here are a few things you may be able to
do lower your insurance rates:
1. Shop
Around.
The amount you would pay for the same coverage may vary by several
hundred dollars, depending on where you go to get the insurance, so it
really pays to shop around before you make a decision. Ask each company
you ask what they would do to lower your rates. Of course, price should
not be your only consideration. You also want excellent service if
something should go wrong. Ask your friends, and Jag club members where
they are getting insurance and how reliable the service has been to
date.
2. Consider
Asking For a Higher Deductible.
The deductible is the amount you will have to pay for damages before the
insurance company will pay anything. By requesting a higher deductible
on two items (collision and comprehensive -- fire and theft) you may be
able to lower your rate substantially. For example, raising your
collision deductible from $200 to $500 might reduce your rate by 15% or
more.
3. Take a Look
at Your Health Insurance.
Take a look at your health insurance policy. Perhaps you don't need the
medical coverage's offered in the auto insurance. In some cases, they
are merely duplicate coverage's. Not all states will allow you to drop
the auto medical coverage altogether, but even reducing the PIP
(personal injury protection) just a little may translate into big
savings.
4. Inquire
about Other Ways to Lower Your Rates.
Some insurance companies offer lower rates to safe drivers, people who
own more than one Jaguar, drivers over the age of 50, people who have
taken driver training courses recently, anti-lock brakes, and anti-theft
devices on the car.
