We recently read of the risk of significant increases in car insurance premiums. This can be attributed not only to the high number of vehicle accidents on our roads, but also to criminal activity such as hijackings and vehicle theft!

Motor vehicle insurance has been described as a necessary evil – even if you pay cash for a motor vehicle and you are the most cautious of motorists, you are at great financial risk if you drive an uninsured vehicle.

I recently parked my vehicle in a secured parking spot in Sandton, only to find the next day that someone tried to open the door of my car with a sharp object – fortunately for me the person failed to open the door. I would now have to replace the door handle and lock at some cost to myself and the insurer.

Car insurance is an important part of road safety. This provides peace of mind when hitting the road that your vehicle is protected. On the Arrive Alive website we have developed a section on Car insurance and Road Safety. We would like to urge vehicle owners not only to protect themselves, but also their cars on the road. We will be addressing these concerns on the Car Insurance Blog and provide advice to ensure that our car owners are protected against some of the insurance pitfalls!
