How does car insurance work?

Car insurance is a system that helps protect you financially in case of accidents or damages involving your vehicle. When you have car insurance, you pay a premium (a regular fee) to an insurance company. In return, the insurance company agrees to cover certain costs that may arise from an accident or other covered events.

Question 5?

Can car insurance calculators find cheap car insurance quotes?

When financing a new car in South Africa through an automaker’s finance facility, it is compulsory for you to have comprehensive car insurance. Even though the car is registered in your name you still owe money to the finance institution that financed your car. Your car is technically only yours once you have paid it off.

What is comprehensive car insurance?

Comprehensive car insurance is compulsory to have when you buy a new car that is being financed, but it is also a good option even if you have a fully paid-off car. But what does Comprehensive car insurance cover?

– Damages to your own car if you were in an accident (remain mindful of the excess payment that needs to be made).

– Full/partial damage done to another vehicle that was directly involved in an accident with you (Third Party cover).
