    5 Hidden Costs of Car Accidents

    Car accidents in America cost the average citizen almost $1000 per year. That is almost 250 million dollars a year that go towards the standard costs of car accidents. Most costs are obvious, like the cost of having your vehicle repaired or the cost of having the other vehicle repaired but there are other costs that you need to factor in. There are five hidden costs involved in a car accident that you need to know about, they are listed below: 

    1. Vehicle Rental

    Unless you have comprehensive car insurance, you will need to pay for the cost of a rental car until your car repairs are complete or until you can buy a replacement vehicle with your insurance pay-out. The cost of renting a vehicle largely depends on what vehicle you need and how long you’ll need it for. You also need to know that renting a vehicle means you will need a massive security deposit to put down on a credit card, and sometimes rental agencies require two credit cards.

    2. Towing Costs

    Most people don’t realize that having your car towed can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars, depending on the tow company and how far your vehicle has to get towed. Once a tow truck tows your car away, you don’t have a choice but to foot the bill – and it is usually a high one.

    3. Legal Issues

    Car accidents, especially if they are your fault, can cost hundreds of thousands in damage claims. No one ever factors this into their decision when they choose not to insure their vehicles. If you have recently been in a car accident that wasn’t your fault, consult with the best injury lawyer to provide you with the information and guidance you will need for taking action against the guilty driver.

    4. Medical Expenses

    The most common unforeseen costs involved in being in a car accident are the steep medical bills. Emergency medical treatments can cost tens of thousands of dollars, if not more. Often there are charges for out-of-network specialists and providers, and without comprehensive health insurance, all of these costs will be for your account. If the car accident is your fault and you are not insured, you will have to pay for the medical bills for all the injured parties involved.

    5. Therapy Bills

    There is no shame in admitting that you need help after surviving a traumatic event. The problem is that kind of professional help can be outside of your budget if you don’t have insurance or savings tucked away. Therapy can cost thousands of dollars, and these costs will get higher depending on how many sessions you need. Most people only factor in the cost of medical treatment for physical injuries, but sometimes the scars from emotional or psychological injuries can run deeper.

    The costs of being in a car accident can run into thousands and thousands of dollars; it is not only about the repairs to the cars involved. Be careful on the roads and never drive anywhere unless you and the vehicle are insured and if you are not sure who to turn to, get in touch with Christensen law.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
