    Guest Post: What to Look for In a Car to Get Lower Insurance Quotes

    It’s not uncommon for drivers to try and look for ways to get lower car insurance rates. No one wants to pay more than they have to, especially for the same coverage. One thing that not a lot of people know is that factors about the car you drive play a role in what you pay.

    Everyone knows that if you drive an expensive sports car you’ll pay more, but there are also other factors involved.


    Ask Your Provider
    If the type of car you drive is not a huge concern, then you may want to ask your insurance provider which makes and models pay the lowest rates. There is always a list of the best cars to buy to get the lowest car insurance quotes, and if you get a car from that list you’ll have a head start when it comes to paying less for your insurance.

    Basically, the list usually includes cars that have a higher safety rating and lower theft potential. If it gets in fewer serious accidents and doesn’t get stolen the claim possibility is going to be less.

    Security Features
    Adding extra security features to a car is another way to decrease those car insurance quotes. Car alarms, steering wheel locks and immobilizers are three examples. The benefits of added security features to your insurance provider are fairly obvious. The potential for theft is one of the factors that affect your rate, so if you have the option to get a car that has added security features, take advantage of the opportunity.

    Safety Features
    Added features that will increase the vehicle’s safety are also something that results in lower car insurance quotes. Things like anti-lock brakes or winter tires will usually result in lower rates because you’ll be less likely to get into an accident. Find out what kind of safety features will help keep your rates low and then try to have them be part of your next vehicle.

    Watch the Modifications
    Aside from security and safety features, making modifications to a vehicle has the potential to raise your rates. There are no hard and fast rules as to which kinds of modifications will raise the rates and which ones won’t, so if you’re concerned it’s a good idea to ask. Any modifications designed to increase the car’s  performance will probably increase your rates, too.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye 😉 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
