What is car insurance?

Car insurance is a useful tool and safety net protecting both your vehicle and your financial well-being.

It’s an agreement between you and the insurance provider – you pay for their services (via a monthly fee called a premium), and they ensure your car’s protection against accidents, theft and other damages.

Coverage typically includes third-party liability cover, weather damage and other natural disasters, as well as fire and explosion.

What is Comprehensive Car Insurance?

“We call it 'comprehensive' because it covers a wide range of potential crises. That’s why, at times, it’s even referred to as 'other than collision coverage' because it covers things that are not only caused by collision.”

What is Short-term Insurance?

“As the name suggests, short-term insurance is cover you’ll have for a set amount of time. Short-term insurance covers assets such as your phone, laptop, bicycle, drone, house, household contents and your car for a short/ temporary period.”

Thought of a car warranty instead of car insurance?

Car insurance is short-term insurance protecting you against accidents, theft, or damage from natural disasters. It's like that reliable friend who helps you out when you're in a tough spot, ensuring you won't bear the full cost of damages to your vehicle or others.

Car Warranty is akin to a promise from the manufacturer. If something breaks or malfunctions within a specified period, they'll take care of it. It's the manufacturer's way of saying, "We stand by the quality of our product and will fix issues that shouldn't occur so soon.”

Hold up, but what is a Car Insurance Excess?

Car insurance excess refers to the amount of money that the policyholder agrees to pay towards a claim before the insurance provider covers the remaining costs.

It is an essential aspect of car insurance as it helps determine the level of risk and responsibility shared between the policyholder and the insurer.

By setting an excess, insurance companies incentivize policyholders to be cautious on the road and discourage frivolous claims.

Moreover, a higher excess often leads to lower insurance premiums, providing policyholders with more affordable coverage options. Understanding car insurance excess is crucial for drivers as it helps them make informed decisions when choosing insurance plans

Pineapple’s tips for finding the right excess for you:

TIP

01
Money Talks.

Extra money in the bank? Opt for a higher excess, it could mean lower monthly premiums.

TIP

02
Determine Your Driving Habits.

If you're barely out on the road, a higher excess could be your saving grace, thanks to those lower premiums.

TIP

03
Review. Renew. Recycle.

Your circumstances can change faster than a Formula 1 pit stop, so ensure your excess is keeping pace by annually reviewing your car insurance.
