Surprising Factors That Impact Your Car Insurance Premiums!
Jun 24, 2024 1:52 am
Hi ,
Zest Here!
Lately, I have helped a few customers find better car insurance premiums due to their claims history. Here are some tips that might be useful for you.
Not all car insurance policies are the same. Insurers offer different benefits to meet individual needs. For example, some provide a temporary replacement car while yours is in the workshop or a daily transport allowance.
Lower premiums often come with hidden restrictions, like who can drive the car, where you can get it repaired, or whether new or used parts are used.
Higher-priced policies usually cover all authorised drivers and offer more flexibility in repair choices.
Different excess amounts may apply when authorised drivers have an accident. Please check your last renewal letter for the details.
Interestingly, gender and marital status can also affect premiums.
Married male drivers often pay less, while unmarried female drivers are seen as less risky. This may be because married women are more likely to be ferrying children to school or daycare, hence spending more time on the roads.
These points below are what we consider before advising our clients what plans suit them:
- Are there restrictions on who can drive the vehicle?
- How much excess will you be required to pay if you need to make a claim?
- Does the policy require you to take your damaged vehicle only to authorised workshops listed in your policy for repairs?
- Will reconditioned parts be used for repairs?
- What risks or events are covered, and for what period? (For example, some policies do not cover flood events.)
