Looking for better auto insurance rates for your Jaguar S-Type? High-priced Jaguar S-Type insurance can consume your budget and maybe even restrict other spending. Consumers have so many auto insurance companies to purchase coverage from, and although it’s nice to have a selection, too many choices makes it more difficult to find the best rates.
You need to shop coverage around occasionally because rates are rarely the same from one policy term to another. Just because you had the best deal for S-Type insurance six months ago there is a good chance you can find better prices now. Forget anything you know (or think you know) about auto insurance because we’re going to demonstrate the proper way to properly buy coverages while reducing your premium.
Finding affordable coverage is easy if you know what you’re doing. If you are paying for car insurance now, you will be able to reduce your rates substantially using these techniques. Consumers only need to know how to shop for insurance over the internet.
There are a lot of ways to compare auto insurance prices and some are easier and takes less work. You could spend the better part of a day driving to local insurance agents in your area, or you can stay home and use the web to get rates in a matter of minutes.
Many of the larger companies belong to an insurance system where prospective buyers send in one quote, and at least one company can give them a price. This prevents consumers from doing quotation requests to every company.

The one downside to using this type of system is you are unable to specify which providers you want pricing from. So if you prefer to pick from a list of companies to compare, we have a listing of the cheapest auto insurance companies in your area. Click here to view list.
It doesn’t matter which method you choose, just compare exactly the same quote data with each company. If you compare different data it’s impossible to make an equal comparison.

Having a good grasp of your policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Below you’ll find the normal coverages available from insurance companies.
Collision – Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision can pay for things such as backing into a parked car, driving through your garage door, colliding with a tree and damaging your car on a curb. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Auto liability insurance – Liability coverage can cover damage that occurs to other people or property by causing an accident. It protects you against other people’s claims. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see liability limits of 50/100/50 that translate to a limit of $50,000 per injured person, $100,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability insurance covers things like attorney fees, bail bonds and structural damage. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but consider buying higher limits if possible.
Comprehensive coverages – This coverage covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like vandalism, damage from flooding and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Coverage for medical payments – Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for expenses such as dental work, hospital visits, X-ray expenses, EMT expenses and surgery. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Uninsured and underinsured coverage – Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Jaguar S-Type.
Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.
