5 Essential Things You Need To Ask About Car Insurance

By Viola Woolcott

The Dare2baware consumer would almost certainly ask the following questions:

1. Consider that if you have a clean driving record, your insurance should be less, so decide on the appropriate coverage – but make sure that your insurance company pays for a rental in the event of an accident.

2. Shop around for car insurance, as they are very competitive. Ask questions to get the best deal available.

3. Many car insurers will consider giving you a discount if you buy two or more types of insurance from them, i.e. car and home insurance. Don’t be shy and ask for insurance discounts.

4. Your payments could increase a few dollars each time you pay by instalment, so make sure you ask for the insurance payment option that best fits your budget.

5. Don’t just look at your total liability - also look at your coverage per person.

A word of advice: To avoid “nasty” surprises, make sure you read the small print.
