Car Insurance Benefits That You Need to Consider When Buying an Auto Insurance

Some say that having a car is not an investment because the value of the car depreciates from the moment it leaves the car shop. Aside from that, there are so many expenses that you need to consider if you have a car like fuel, parking fees, toll fees, maintenance fees, and car insurance.

Yes, having car insurance is very important because we cannot predict the future and no matter how careful we are, accidents happen on the road. It is an additional cost in your pocket but you never know when you need so it is better to invest in insurance. There are so many auto insurances in the market, in fact, whenever you register your car you need to pay for insurance. But of course, the coverage is very limited so you get what you pay for.

Buying car insurance is not cheap, it depends on the coverage and also on your car. If you ask me if the insurance fee is worth it, my answer is yes, because when my husband had an accident several years ago we did not pay anything for the repair. We only paid for the towing fee. Good thing my husband was safe but it took them 2 months to repair the car. We’ve experienced two minor accidents and the insurance company shouldered everything.

If you are planning to buy car insurance, it is very important that the insurance covers the “Acts of God Protection”, I remember the typhoon Ondoy, we attended an event and on our way home, the SLEX was already flooded but my husband tried to cross the flood. We were able to pass the flood but when we arrived home, my husband checked the car mat, it was damp. The car had been checked and fixed and paid for by the insurance company.

Anyway, if you still remember my post about my Schengen Visa Application. I bought our travel medical insurance online. While browsing Malayan Insurance site, I noticed that they are also offering other insurances including car insurance. Just like the travel medical insurance, you can get a quotation online and you can also buy it online. Check it here.

  1. We don't have a car (yet? lol). I'd ask Dane sometimes, "lab, magkaka-car kaya tayo?" haha! Unahin na muna namin insurance sa sarili namin tapos hopefully, bahay. And then maybe, by that time, we can already consider getting a car. Pero in case we get one, I'll definitely get a car insurance.

  2. I liken a car to another baby. Insurances, maintenance and gasoline, not to mention registration... I got my Motor Vehicle insurance from work, hence lower premium plus free Act of Nature (I do not want to call it Act of God 😁) at special corporate rate.

    1. Agree, parang baby na marami gastos. Lucky you, lower premium, ang mahal pa naman ng insurance depende pa sa unit.

  3. Hmm now that you've posted about this, I just realized we haven't checked our car insurance's validity. That's very important. Lalo na these days when so many drivers are reckless and even if you're careful, you can still get into minor accidents.

  4. I believe in car insurance. Perhaps because my mom is into insurance and I have seen the many perks of it. Somehow when you drive, you feel safer knowing that an insurance may help you with the expenses should in case you got hit or worse, nacarnap si car.

    1. Yes, pag old na yung car parang no value na kasi kaya ayaw na ipainsured. But insurance is really important.
