Jaguar's reputation for quality and excellence has asserted itself consistently since the company started producing cars. If you own one, it was probably one of the main reasons for your purchase. If you don't, it's probably the reason you want one. Whether it's business or pleasure, there's always been a Jaguar that fits the bill.

If you're taking the plunge and getting yourself a Jaguar soon, or if there's always been a Jaguar-shaped spot on your driveway, you're likely to want an insurance policy that gives you the right level of cover for your needs, at a competitive price.

Confused.com can help you get the same price or cheaper than going direct.

Read our review Jaguar XF

XF insurance groups are typically at the higher end of the scale. This is mainly due to the age of the car and the cost of repairs, which is often high due to a low production rate. If you have bought a Jaguar XF on finance you might want to consider fully comprehensive insurance.

Jaguar XJ

While the XJ emanates luxury, style, beauty and power, it also has great performance and handling. Typically, a Jaguar's insurance tends to be higher when compared with your average car, usually due to initial purchase costs.

In the case of an accident, the parts needed to fix an XJ could be quite expensive. This is something an insurance provider takes into account when working out the cost of cover.

Jaguar X-Type

The X-Type is the cheapest in the whole Jaguar range. It's comfortable, good looking and has decent handling. It's Jaguar's alternative to cars such as BMW 3-series and the Audi A4. However, due to the lack of range in engine sizes it never proved to be as popular as its competition.

Jaguar cars: did you know?

Established - 1922 (as the Swallow Sidecar Company)
Founder - Sir William Lyons and William Walmsley
Headquarters - Coventry, England

The first Jaguar produced was the SS Jaguar 2.5 litre in 1935. In 1961 Jaguar launched the E-type, probably one of the most iconic cars of all time, described by Enzo Ferrari himself as "the most beautiful car ever built."

Jaguar continued to manufacture exceptional cars, in both the luxury and sports car sectors, all the while building its already well established racing pedigree. In 1988 the XJR-9 secured both the driver and team trophies in the Sports Car Championships and put Jaguar back on the top step at Le Mans for the first time since 1957.

In recent years, Jaguar has been the supplier of cars to the Prime Minister and holds Royal Warrants from Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles.
