- How is the car insurance premium determined? Answer: The car insurance premium is determined based on several factors such as the driver’s age, driving history, type of vehicle, use of the vehicle, place of residence and loss history.
- What is the deductible in car insurance? Answer: The deductible is the amount that the policyholder must pay out of pocket before the insurance company steps in to cover the damage in the event of a claim. A higher deductible can reduce the insurance premium, but also implies greater financial responsibility in the event of an accident.
- Does my car insurance cover other drivers? Answer: In general, car insurance follows the car and not the driver. This means that if you allow a friend or family member to drive your car, your insurance should cover them as well. However, it is essential to check the details of your policy to be sure.
- What to do in the event of a car accident? Answer: In the event of an accident, it is important to take the following steps:
- Make sure everyone is safe and call for help if necessary.
- Exchange insurance information with other parties involved.
- Take photos of the scene of the accident and the damage.
- Report the accident to your car insurance company as soon as possible.
Please note that answers may vary by region and insurance company, so it is always recommended that you consult your insurer or car insurance broker for information specific to your situation.
