MOTOR INSURANCE GUIDE

Motor Insurance: understand the cover before you renew.

Learn the basics of third-party liability, own-damage cover, add-ons, renewals and claims.

What is motor insurance?

Motor insurance is designed around vehicle-related risks and third-party liability. The exact protection depends on the policy selected and applicable terms.

Third-party liability

Third-party motor insurance addresses covered legal liability arising from injury, death or property damage to a third party, subject to applicable law and policy terms.

Own-damage cover

Depending on the policy, own-damage protection may cover specified losses to the insured vehicle, such as certain accidents, theft or other covered events.

What to check at renewal

  • Policy expiry date and continuity of cover
  • Insured declared value or other applicable vehicle details
  • Claim history and no-claim benefits where applicable
  • Deductibles, exclusions and selected add-ons
  • Accuracy of vehicle and owner information

Claims

Follow the insurer's claim notification process promptly and provide the documents requested. Never assume a loss is covered without checking the policy terms.
