Car Insurance Basics

Owning and driving a car means taking on many risks to yourself and others. When a traffic accident happens, damage, injuries, loss or all of these factors may be inflicted upon you and others. Damage and loss of your property may also occur. Fire, theft, vandalism and natural disasters are other possible risks.

Car insurance is a contract between you and the insurer, specifying each party’s rights and obligations. Essentially your insurer promises to provide specific coverage for you in return for your payment of premium.

Car insurance is designed to protect yourself and others against these risks. It provides financial cover and can also offer other services (e.g. A hire car if your vehicle is under repair from accident damage) when the need arises.

You need to find a sense of balance between coverage and cost. Figure out the suitable level of coverage by consideration by the following factors:-

• The value of your possessions you must protect.
• The value of your vehicle.
• The amount of money you're prepared to spend.
• Your tolerance of the possible risks.
• The insurer should fit your policy to your personal needs.
