things you must know
about Vehicle Insurance

Who needs Vehicle Insurance?

Everyone who has a car should insure their vehicle, especially if the car is still subject to a higher purchase agreement (you do not want to still be paying off a car that was written off or stolen years before). Even if your vehicle is paid off, insurance for other vehicles you may drive into is still essential. 

Why should you take out Vehicle Insurance?

Car accidents happen every day. Even the most careful drivers sometimes fall victim to accidents caused by other aggressive, irresponsible, inattentive or drunk drivers. Insurance costs a fraction of the price of replacing your vehicle if it is damaged or stolen. Taking out vehicle insurance is a prudent way to ensure that your hard earned asset is protected against crime, human error or recklessness by other drivers.

How much does Vehicle Insurance cost?

We have a large book of clients with many different insurance companies, so we will be able to find you the most benefits for the cheapest premiums. 

Typical claims incurred on Vehicle Insurance Policies

The most common claims on vehicle insurance policies involve car accidents. We receive thousands of single vehicle claims (i.e people driving into poles, garage doors, walls etc.) The damages may not look like much, but the costs of repairing even the smallest dents will leave you reeling. The most expensive claims tend to be major car accidents, where there are normally many vehicles involved. Added to the costs of panelbeating, are expenses for towing companies, storage companies, car hire while vehicles are being repaired etc. Vehicle hi-jackings and vehicle thefts are rife and apart from the obvious emotional trauma caused to the victims, results in large costs to replace the entire vehicle.

What other insurance should be considered along with Vehicle Insurance?

Vehicle insurance on its own is incredibly expensive and sometimes difficult to obtain. Unless your vehicle is a high valued vehicle or a 4x4, we recommend that you insure your vehicle with your personal belongings. Premiums are normally cheaper overall plus you now get additional cover for your belongings.
