It takes a few minutes, but the best way to get cheaper car insurance rates is to start doing a yearly price comparison from providers in Nashville. Rates can be compared by completing these steps.
- First, read about what coverages are included in your policy and the steps you can take to lower rates. Many policy risk factors that increase rates such as careless driving and an unacceptable credit score can be improved by paying attention to minor details.
- Second, obtain price quotes from direct carriers, independent agents, and exclusive agents. Exclusive agents and direct companies can only give rate quotes from a single company like Progressive or State Farm, while agents who are independent can provide price quotes for a wide range of companies.
- Third, compare the new quotes to your existing policy to determine if switching companies saves money. If you can save some money and change companies, make sure there is no lapse between the expiration of your current policy and the new one.
- Fourth, provide notification to your current agent or company of your intent to cancel your existing policy and submit a down payment along with a signed application to your new insurance company. As soon as coverage is bound, place your new certificate of insurance with your registration paperwork.
One key aspect when comparing rates is that you’ll want to compare the same level of coverage on each quote and and to get rates from all possible companies. Doing this ensures a fair rate comparison and the most accurate and complete price analysis.
It’s easy to assume that auto insurance companies don’t want you comparing rates. Drivers who shop around for the cheapest rate will probably switch auto insurance companies because of the good chance of finding a policy with more affordable rates. A study showed that drivers who compared prices once a year saved about $865 a year as compared to drivers who never compared other company’s rates.
If finding the cheapest price on auto insurance in Nashville is your ultimate goal, then having an understanding of how to get free comparison quotes and analyze coverages can make it easier for you to save money.

Discounts applied include multi-policy, homeowner, safe-driver, multi-vehicle, and claim-free.

Should you raise deductibles?
When shopping for auto insurance, a common question is what deductibles to buy. The following tables can help illustrate the rate differences when you choose different coverage deductibles. The first table uses a $100 deductible for comp and collision and the second set of prices uses a $1,000 deductible.

Price data assumes married male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, and Tennessee minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include multi-vehicle, claim-free, homeowner, safe-driver, and multi-policy. Rate quotes do not factor in specific Nashville garaging location which can modify rates greatly.
Based on this data, using a $100 deductible costs roughly $45 more each month or $540 annually across all Jaguar XF models than quoting the higher $1,000 deductible. Due to the fact that you would have to pay $900 more out-of-pocket with a $1,000 deductible as compared to a $100 deductible, if you normally average at least 20 months between claims, you would probably save some money if you elect the higher deductible.
Tickets and at-fault accidents raise rates
The illustration below illustrates how violations and at-fault collisions can influence Jaguar XF insurance rates for different categories of driver ages. The premium estimates are based on a single female driver, comp and collision included, $500 deductibles, and no discounts are applied to the premium.
Premiums by gender and age
The chart below shows the difference between Jaguar XF auto insurance costs for male and female drivers. The data is based on no accidents, no driving violations, comp and collision included, $100 deductibles, drivers are not married, and no discounts are taken into consideration.
Car insurance quotes and discounts
Companies don’t always publicize all possible discounts very clearly, so we researched some of the more common in addition to some of the lesser obvious discounts that you can inquire about if you buy Nashville car insurance online.
- Defensive Driver Discount – Taking time to complete a safe driver course could save 5% or more and also improve your driving technique.
- Discounts for Multiple Vehicles – Buying coverage for all your vehicles on one policy may reduce the rate for each vehicle.
- 55 and Retired – If you’re over the age of 55, you can possibly qualify for better car insurance rates.
- Life Insurance Discount – Not all insurance companies offer life insurance, but some may give you a small discount if you purchase life insurance.
- Air Bags and Passive Restraints – Options like air bags can qualify for discounts up to 30%.
- Seat Belt Usage – Requiring all passengers to use a seat belt could save 15% on medical payment and PIP coverage.
- Accident Forgiveness Coverage – Not a discount per se, but some insurance companies will turn a blind eye to one accident without the usual rate increase if your claims history is clear prior to the accident.
Don’t be shocked that some of the credits will not apply to all coverage premiums. The majority will only reduce individual premiums such as liability, collision or medical payments. So when it seems like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, nobody gets a free ride.
The information below illustrates the comparison of Jaguar XF yearly insurance costs with and without discounts applied to the policy rates. The information is based on a male driver, no tickets, no at-fault accidents, Tennessee state minimum liability limits, comprehensive and collision coverage, and $250 deductibles. The first bar for each age group shows premium with no discounts. The second shows the rates with multi-policy, multi-car, homeowner, safe-driver, claim-free, and marriage discounts applied.

How do I know if I need professional advice?
When buying insurance from an agent or online, there is no perfect coverage plan. Every situation is different and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. These are some specific questions might point out if you could use an agent’s help.
- Does my personal policy cover me when driving out-of-state?
- Am I covered while delivering pizza?
- How high should my medical payments coverage be?
- Why am I required to buy liability insurance?
- Which companies will insure high-risk drivers?
- Is business equipment covered while in my vehicle?
- Should I have a commercial auto policy?
- Who is covered by my policy?
- Can my teen driver be rated on a liability-only vehicle?
- Do I need special coverage while pulling a rented trailer?

The different types of car insurance agents
If you need to find a good insurance agency, it’s helpful to know the different types of agencies and how they operate. Car insurance policy providers are classified as either independent agents or exclusive agents. Both can write car insurance policies, but it is a good idea to know the difference in how they write coverage since it may influence your agent selection.
Independent Car Insurance Agents (or Brokers)
Agents that choose to be independent often have affiliation with several companies and that is an advantage because they can write policies with lots of companies and find the cheapest car insurance rates. If premiums increase, your agent can switch companies and the insured can keep the same agent.
If you need lower rates, you will definitely want to compare quotes from at a minimum one independent agency to ensure the widest selection of prices.

Finding the right insurance agent shouldn’t rely on just the premium amount. Any agent in Nashville should be forthright in answering these questions:
- If your car is in the repair shop, do you have coverage for a rental car?
- What will you get paid if your car is a total loss? How is that amount determined?
- Will you work with the agent or an assistant?
- Do the coverages you’re quoting properly cover your vehicle?
- Do they have cheaper tiers of coverage?
- If you have an accident, are you able to get your vehicle repaired at the shop of your choice?
If you receive good answers to these questions and an affordable coverage quote, it’s possible that you found an auto insurance agent that is professional and can properly insure your vehicles. Just understand that it’s your coverage and you can cancel coverage any time you want so don’t feel you’re contractually obligated to a specific agent for the full policy term.

Specific coverages for a Jaguar XF
Learning about specific coverages of your policy helps when choosing the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Below you’ll find the normal coverages found on the average car insurance policy.
Comprehensive protection
Comprehensive insurance covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as hitting a deer, hitting a bird, falling objects and vandalism. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Uninsured or underinsured coverage
This coverage gives you protection when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Jaguar XF.
Since many Tennessee drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits (25/50/15), it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family. Normally these coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Medical expense coverage
Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for expenses like dental work, X-ray expenses, nursing services, ambulance fees and surgery. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible
Coverage for collisions
This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by 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 things such as backing into a parked car, rolling your car, hitting a mailbox and sideswiping another vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. You can also increase the deductible on your XF to bring the cost down.
Auto liability insurance
This coverage protects you from damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people. It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see policy limits of 25/50/15 that translate to $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $50,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $15,000. Some companies may use a combined single limit or CSL which provides one coverage limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability insurance covers things like medical expenses, bail bonds, loss of income and court costs. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as large an amount as possible. Tennessee state minimum liability requirements are 25/50/15 but you should think about purchasing more liability than the minimum.
The next chart demonstrates why minimum state limits may not be adequate coverage.
How much can you save?
Some car insurance companies may not provide the ability to get a quote online and usually these small, regional companies prefer to sell through independent insurance agencies. Cheaper car insurance in Nashville is attainable both online and also from your neighborhood Nashville agents, so you should be comparing quotes from both in order to have the best price selection to choose from.
As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, it’s not a good idea to skimp on critical coverages to save a buck or two. There are a lot of situations where an insured dropped liability limits or collision coverage and learned later that a couple dollars of savings turned into a financial nightmare. Your focus should be to purchase a proper amount of coverage at the best price.
