When you choose car insurance,
you will want to make sure it is tailored to your specific needs. Here
is a useful list of questions that you may want to ask when picking your
policy:
- Are there any
compulsory excesses for accidental damage.
- What is the
policy excess and maximum amount of money the company will pay out?
- What level of no
claim discount can I receive?
- Will any
additional security on my car reduce the premium?
- How many claims
does my protected bonus allow me in any given year?
- Do I get a
courtesy car for any claims, and if so for how long and under what
circumstances.
- Does cover
include personal injury, personal belongings or replacement locks?
- Do windscreen
claims affect my no claims discount?
- Can I drive
abroad with my standard policy?
- Can I use my
preferred garage for repairs in the case of a claim?
- Will I have to
fill in lots of claim forms when claiming?
- Will I get a
discount if I have been driving with no claims for several years but
have not had a policy in my own name?
- Is motor legal
protection included?
- What is the APR
charge for monthly premium payments? This is a 'hidden cost' with
many companies charging over 20%.
- Does the policy
offer roadside breakdown assistance?
- Will
your no-claims bonus be affected if the accident wasn't your fault
or the cost can't be recovered?
- Can you transfer
your no-claims bonus built up while driving on somebody else's
insurance?
- Can you transfer
your no-claims bonus on to a second car?
- When you make a
claim, do you speak to the broker who sold you the policy or the
insurer?
