Are you looking for cheap car insurance? Everyone loves a good deal, especially when it comes to recurring monthly expenses like car insurance. We live in challenging and exciting times. South Africa has just emerged from a pandemic and is still recovering from its economic impact. So, any news on saving money when buying cheap car insurance is great.1
Beware what kind of cover you buy
Be careful to buy quality car insurance from well-established, reputable insurers. An unknown company offering car insurance with low premiums is not necessarily providing good cover.
How is your driving?
A good driver profile means you have established a record of acceptable driving over many years. Insurance is all about risk, and the less risky you are to an insurer, the lower the premium is likely to be.1
It’s a win-win situation
Safe driving means fewer accidents and fines, while you enjoy affordable car insurance with a reduced premium. The insurer, on the other hand, makes less payouts because most clients drive well. 1
What do you want from your car insurance?
It would be a mistake to accept the first quote. Your situation is unique, so determine what benefits you want from your car insurance. For instance, would you like car hire, where the insurer supplies you with a car while your car is undergoing repairs? Alternatively, when you are stuck on the roadside in a desolate area, you may want peace of mind knowing you can immediately access a 24-hour roadside assistance and towing service. 1
Compare premiums online every year
Review your unique car insurance requirements annually, as they may change. Submit your new list of insurance needs online and obtain quotes from at least three reputable car insurance companies. In this way you can compare premiums and choose the most favourable policy. 1
