    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, itโ€™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 stateโ€™s law

    Each state has its own requirement for the minimum amount of insurance you need on your car. However, itโ€™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 wonโ€™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.

    • 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?
