Article by Jack

One of the most necessary expenses you pay is that of your car insurance. When you own a car, you can not be without car insurance, it is just too risky. It is becoming more an more difficult to find cheap car insurance that doesn’t trick you in some way, that is why it is important that you know exactly what you need covered and what not. For instance, if your car is parked in a locked garage every night, your premium should be cheaper, because the coverage would be less needed. Know exactly what you have and what you need to ensure that you get an affordable, accurate insurance premium.

When looking for a cheap insurance policy, start by collecting different quotes from direct-sell insurance companies, independent brokers and the internet. You can request online quotes as well as look at policy reviews that will save you a lot of time and probably money too. Also always remember to look for a reputable insurer. Ask your friends, family or neighbours to tell you about their insurance companies and the service and assistance they offer. It is no use having the best policy when a claim can not be paid out because the company is taking its time. Remember to ask questions.

Your insurance policy premium is based on a lot of things, one of them being the type of car you drive. It will obviously be impossible to find a cheap car insurance policy if you drive a sport scar like a Porche. Because the value of the car is higher than an average car and because the risk of driving a sports car is bigger, your premium will be much higher than an average car’s. Also always remember to check the insurance premium before you buy a new car, as the premium can be increased by almost anything. Another important thing that will affect your premium cost is the area you live in. If you live in a high-crime area, your premium will obviously be much higher than if you did not. So be sure to check out these crucial details before committing to a policy.

The age and value of your car is very important when trying to find a cheap car insurance policy. If you drive a R1 million car, your insurance premium will be very high, but if your car is worth about R20 000, your premium will be much lower. Your insurance premium will also be affected by the age of your car. If you are buying a pre-owned vehicle, your premium can not be as much as when you are buying a brand new vehicle. So it is very important to know exactly what you have and what you need from your insurer and your premium.

Things like a good driving record, having an anti-hijacking system in your vehicle, the amount of kilometres you drive a month and the area you live in will all have an impact on your insurance policy premium. Take them into consideration when looking for the right premium and you should be just fine.
