Car insurance types

As we all begin to slowly emerge from the comfort of our homes back out onto our busy roads, getting back behind the wheel means re-assessing our knowledge of car insurance. So, before you begin planning the kids’ extra mural timetables and scheduling your daily meetings, we want to make sure you remain safe from the second you pull out of your driveway. And that starts with figuring out what the best type of car insurance is for you. 

What cover do the different car insurance policies give you? 

Contrary to popular belief, there are many different types of car insurance. Yes, you actually get options! At Budget Insurance, we like to put you in the driver’s seat by letting you choose your own level of vehicle coverage. 

We crunched the numbers, balanced the calculations, and created an extensive selection of Car Insurance types – just for you! Let’s look at the kind of cover you’ll get under each of our Car Insurance policies. 

Comprehensive Car Insurance

To put it simply, this is the full package. It’s all you’ll ever need and all you’ll ever want when it comes to car insurance types. This insurance package is comprehensive and worth the hype it gets. We’ll cover it all, including theft, loss, towing, and accident cover – it really doesn’t get much better than this! Trust us. 

Third-Party, Fire, and Theft Car Insurance

For those with a smaller budget, don’t think we’ve forgotten about you. We created this specific insurance package to be even more affordable. This type of car insurance will cover you for all the big (more expensive) things, just not damage to your own vehicle, so you don’t have to foot the bill. It’s on us! 

Third-Party Only Car Insurance

Already have your car paid off but still in need of cover that will keep you from taking on any serious debt due to an accident? Then this is the insurance package for you. We’ll take on the responsibility of covering the financial costs of any third-party damage, so you don’t have to. Leave the money worries to us!

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.

Image
Lancia recently teased a coupe-looking model, waiting to be unveiled in their Multiverse. Could this then, signify the return of a historic moniker like the Stratos to the struggling automaker? Image: Lancia #MakeLanciaGreatAgain – a social media phrase that has been making the rounds for the better part of a decade. World Rally Championship titles, Formula 1 single-seat winners and some other gems in between.
