Factors to Cosider in Car Insurance
Filed under General Facts, GuideAug 22
Image Source: www.virginmedia.comThere are certain factors that could have an impact on the cost of your car insurance, for example the number of years no claims bonus you have, the size and value of your car, the average mileage a year that you drive and the extra security features your car has been installed with. Someone who drives a smaller car, with a smaller engine and who has a low average annual mileage will get a better car insurance deal than someone who has got a big car and has got a high annual mileage.
If you have a car that is equipped with enhanced security features recommended by insurance dealers like a car alarm, tracker or immobiliser you will get cheaper car insurance simply because your car will be safer and less likely to stolen when parked and left unattended, in the same way by parking your car overnight in a garage or on a driveway this will also help to reduce the cost of your car insurance.

Role of the Motor Insurance Database
Filed under General FactsJul 12Once you have your car insured, make sure that your insurance provider will enlist your insurance policy details to the Motor Insurance Database or MID. Being insured is equally important as being listed in the MID because policemen use the listed data from the Motor Insurance Database as reference in preventing uninsured driving. Chances are, the police may stop you if the details of your insurance policy are not yet entered on the Motor Insurance Database. Or worst, your car may be sequestered. On your part as a private individual check that your insurance provider does the job and as for company vehicles, the policy holder should take the responsibility of ensuring that the details are provided for the Motor Insurance Database.

Save Money on Car Insurance
Filed under GuideJun 7
Your vehicle is one of the most important and expensive investment you will make in your life. In order to get the best protection for your investment in case of accidents and to make sure that you are financial secured against unforeseen liabilities, here are some Car Insurance Basics to help you the best coverage for your money:
1.Compare not only the prices but the company as well – this is probably the first and most important step of all. Remember, you have to know how dependable the insurance provider is, after all, they will be providing your protection. Make a smart decision not only based on prices but also how effective the company is when it comes to enforcing its policies.
2.What is the real market value of your car – usually, claims are paid based on the actual value of the vehicle. If you own an older car, it may be wiser to get a new car than spend more on premium payments for your depreciated car.
3.Deductibles matter – for example, if you raise deductible from $200 to $500, the cost of premium for Collision and Comprehensive will go down about 15% to 30%.
4.Examine your coverage – sometimes we tend to over compensate and get additional coverage that we really do not need. Premiums are based on what your policy covers so it is not wise to have reimbursement for rentals when you do not rent a car that often.
5.Always keep your coverage updated - always updated your provider with anything that is happening in relation with your car. It may help you to get a lower risk classification on your renewal.Comments Off -

No to Sports Cars or SUVs for your Teen
Filed under Safety TipsMay 15Are you planning to buy your young teen a new car? I suggest that you don’t buy them an SUV or a sports car. Why? Simply because these cars require a higher insurance than any other normal cars. Sports cars usually have a higher top speed compared to the other vehicles that’s why our teens are tempted to drive real fast, which can cause awful and tragic car accidents. The SUVs are also much heavier compared to other cars. It is also hard to control most of the time and lastly, SUVs tend to do more damage when they meet an accident with smaller cars.
