    Whether you’re looking to take out your first policy, or your car insurance is coming up for renewal, it’s always good to know what car insurance actually covers, just in case you need to make a claim in the future due to an accident – whether it’s your fault or not.

    A great thing about some car insurance companies is the fact they allow you to tailor your policy to suit you, your driving, your driving needs and so many more factors.

    You can create a car insurance policy personalized to you.

    With many coverages to choose from and add to your car insurance policy, it made us think – what’s covered by car insurance? Read on to find out.

    Car insurance

    There are many coverages you can add to create your own customized car policy, to not only protect yourself and your car, but your wallet too.

    There are many important coverages to know about – for example, collision, comprehensive, medical payment, personal injury protection and liability coverages.

    Each one is designed to help you in the aftermath of an accident or incident, help cover costs and get you back on your feet.

    Real-life examples of how car insurance covers you

    With this in mind, we’ve put together some real-life scenarios and matched them with just some of the coverages you could add to your car insurance policy.

    Situation: You’re driving along an empty road. Suddenly a deer runs out in front of you and you cannot stop in time. You hit the deer and cause damage to your car.

    What policy covers you: Comprehensive coverage, as this is seen as an ‘act of god’.

    What you need to do: If this was to happen, you’d first need to dial 911 if anyone is injured and needs emergency services. If no one is injured, your next port of call would be to contact your car insurance provider and call for roadside assistance. If the deer is injured, you’ll also need to call the authorities so they can send a team out to assist with the care and welfare of the animal.

    Situation: You’re driving along with a few cars on the road. Suddenly a deer runs out in front of you, causing you to crash into another car.

    What policy covers you: Collision coverage, to repair your car and liability coverage to help you cover the cost of the other driver’s car repairs, or medical bills.

    What you need to do: If anyone needs serious medical or emergency help, call 911. If no one is injured, call your insurance company and roadside assistance. Just like the scenario above, if the deer is injured, you’ll need to call authorities so they can send someone to assist in the care and welfare of the animal.

    Situation: Whilst protecting yourself in your house from a raging storm outside, a tree falls onto your car, causing damage.

    What policy covers you: Comprehensive coverage, as this is classed as an ‘act of god’.

    What you need to do: When safe to go outside, assess the damage. Take photos from every angle for evidence. Call your insurance company and tell them what happened. If the fallen tree is blocking the road as well as crushing your car, call the emergency services, so they can help remove the tree from the road, and ultimately your car. If not, you could always call in a tree surgeon and get them to remove it for you.

    • 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.

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?
