What Is Pay as You Go Car Insurance?
Vehicle insurance, that is, motor vehicle insurance, referred to as car insurance, also known as car insurance. It refers to a type of commercial insurance that is liable for personal injury or property damage caused by a natural disaster or accident in a motor vehicle. Car insurance is a type of property insurance. In the field of property insurance, car insurance belongs to a relatively young type of insurance. This is because car insurance is produced and developed with the emergence and popularization of cars. At the same time, unlike modern motor vehicle insurance, in the initial stage of automobile insurance, the third party liability insurance of the automobile was the main insurance, and it gradually expanded to the risk of collision losses such as bodywork.
car insurance
- A type of insurance widely developed in China is a type of insurance that uses motor vehicles such as cars, trams, battery cars, motorcycles, and tractors as the subject of automobile insurance. Vehicle insurance can be divided into commercial insurance and traffic insurance. Commercial insurance includes vehicle main insurance and additional insurance.
- Commercial insurance main insurance includes vehicle loss insurance,
- (I) Origin of vehicle insurance
- Foreign automobile insurance originated in the middle and late 19th century. At that time, with the emergence and development of automobiles in some European countries, accidental injuries and property losses caused by traffic accidents increased. Although various countries have adopted some control methods and measures, the use of automobiles still poses a serious threat to people's lives and property. As a result, some savvy insurers
- Commercial insurance is variable value insurance, which is divided into basic insurance and additional insurance, of which additional insurance cannot be independent insurance. Basic insurance includes third party liability insurance and vehicle loss insurance (car damage insurance); additional insurance includes full vehicle theft (robbery), onboard liability insurance, no-fault liability insurance,
- I. Carry a clear copy of the "three certificates and one bill" of the motor vehicle, that is, the owner's ID card, driving license, driving license and insurance bill. In particular, I would like to remind everyone that the insurance cards of many insurance companies are no longer used as proof of claims.
- 2. It is very important to report accidents in time, especially for major accidents. When you call the insurance company, you need to provide the basic information such as the policy number, time, location, and nature of the accident.
- 3. Vehicles with temporary license plates generally only apply for short-term traffic insurance, and have prescribed routes and times. Accident insurance companies that do not take the routes and times outside the stipulations will not be liable for compensation.
- 4. When the vehicle is out of place, the insurance company shall be reported to the insurance company in time, and the person in charge of the place where the damage is made shall conduct investigation and determine the damage on behalf of the person. The cost of compensation is generally valued according to the industry standard of the place where the insurance is issued. If any local damage is found only after returning to the place of insurance, the insurance company for this part of the repair costs can make up for the damages.
- 5. If the insured wants to entrust a repair shop to handle compensation or directly assign the accident compensation fee to the repair shop, he should sign a power of attorney in person and report it to the insurance company for the record. Every time you repair, sign a quality contract with the repair shop so that you can safeguard your legitimate rights and interests.
- First, do not repeat the insurance
- Car owners should avoid re-insurance when insuring car insurance. Some car owners may think that they are more likely to get out of a certain area, so they should re-insure this type of insurance, and think that they can get repeated compensation. In fact, this kind of thinking is wrong. Even if the car owner repeatedly insures a type of insurance, it will not get excess compensation when it comes to compensation.
- 2. Don't over-insure or under-insure
- Some car owners, apparently worth 100,000 yuan, have insured 150,000 yuan in insurance, believing that they can pay more for more money. While some cars are worth 200,000 yuan, they are insured for 100,000 yuan. Neither type of insurance is effectively protected. According to Article 39 of the Insurance Law: "The insured amount must not exceed the insured value. If the insured amount exceeds the insured value, the excess amount is invalid. If the insured amount is lower than the insured value, the insurer shall, in accordance with the insured amount and The insured value is liable for compensation. "So over-insured and under-insured cannot get additional benefits.
- Third, insurance must be preserved
- In order to save premiums, some car owners want to cover a few types of insurance, or only car damage insurance, not third party liability insurance, or only main insurance, not additional insurance. In fact, each type of insurance has its own insurance liability. If the vehicle really does have an accident, the insurance company can only pay the insurance liability according to the original insurance contract, and some other losses of the owner may not get compensation.
- Fourth, timely renewal
- Some car owners cannot renew their insurance in time after the insurance contract expires, but
- First, report your case in a timely manner. After a traffic accident, the owner should protect the scene and report it to the insurance company within 48 hours. Truly state the accident, provide an insurance policy, wait for the surveyor of the insurance company to inspect the scene, and complete the "Claim Application".
- Second, understand the scope of rejection and exclusion.
- Third, the claim for too little loss is not cost-effective. Because when the car insurance is renewed, the insurance company has a premium concession clause, that is, if the vehicle is not out of insurance for one year, it can enjoy about 10% of the premium discount when the insurance is renewed the next year; Can reach about 30%.
- Fourth, for road accidents, first 110, let the traffic police open the certificate and go to the repair shop to report the case.
- Fifth, non-road accidents (community): write your own certificate, and then find the stamp of the police station.
- Sixth, a bicycle accident: 110 first the traffic police opened the bill ~ and then find a repair shop. Some insurance companies have to look at the site, some do nt, and do nt drive directly to the repair shop, and then report it to the insurance company to see the car.
