    Car insurance offers drivers essential financial protection and is typically required in most states. However, finding the right car insurance might feel intimidating whether you are buying your first car or want to get your own policy. Thankfully, with a bit of preparation, you can get a good policy with the right coverage types at an affordable price. Here are some tips to help make your first-time car insurance purchase smooth and successful.

    1. Compare different car insurance quotes

    As a first-time car insurance buyer, it’s recommended to talk to representatives from multiple agencies to find out how much each charge for coverage. The easiest way is to work with an independent insurance agent representing various insurance companies in your state. An independent insurance agent can help you compare car insurance quotes from different insurers. Click here to get the best features and quotes for your car insurance policy.

    1. Understand the types of coverage

    The policy you purchase from your insurance agent depends on various factors, such as your age, driving record, and the type of vehicle you own. Your policy will typically include six different types of coverage, which come at different prices. These include:

    • Uninsured motorist coverage
    • Comprehensive insurance
    • Collision insurance
    • Body injury liability
    • Personal injury protection (PIP) or medical payments
    • Property damage liability

    Not every coverage listed is required, and not all of them apply to you and your situation. An independent insurance agent can be a valuable resource in helping you understand these coverages and pick the best ones for your situation.

    1. Know about compulsory deductibles

    A compulsory or mandatory deductible is the minimum amount a policyholder must pay whenever any claim arises. According to the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) rules, compulsory deductible costs range from $0.64 for a two-wheeler to $6.41 for a four-wheeler. The deductible charges may be higher for an old car, vehicles with bigger carriage capacities, or other incidents where the risk of a claim is perceived as higher.

    1. Understand your state’s law

    Each state has its own requirement for the minimum amount of insurance you need on your car. However, it’s crucial to note that additional coverage might be worth the cost if you get involved in a car accident or something happens to your vehicle. Before deciding on the car insurance limits to carry, consult your insurance agent to know what will and won’t be covered. Be sure to ask for their expert advice on what limits you should hold to protect yourself.

    1. Take advantage of discounts

    It can be tricky for the first-time car insurance buyer to find cheap insurance, especially if you have had a break in your car insurance coverage or are a new driver. However, there are still ways to save. Ask your insurance provider about various discounts they offer. These can include discounts for insuring your car and home or multiple vehicles with the same company or taking a defensive driving course.

    Endnote

    Purchasing car insurance for the first time can be overwhelming. However, with these tips and the help of an insured independent auto insurance agent, the process can be smooth, and you will get a brand-new car insurance policy within a short time.

    • 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.

    • 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?
