The current data indicates that around 65 percent of South African drivers are without auto insurance cover and this is really alarming situation against the remaining 35 percent drivers who have purchased the auto insurance cover. So, what are the reasons responsible for the people not to make at least minimum auto insurance cover?

We will start with a look at the different types of insurance. There are three basic types of insurance in South Africa.

The minimum cover is Third Party. This covers your liability (costs) if you damage someone elses personal property in an car accident. This includes other cars or structural property that may also be damaged.

You can add to the minimum by purchasing Third Party Fire and Theft. This will cover you in the event that your vehicle is damaged by fire, theft or attempted theft.

Comprehensive cover is the one that is recommended for most South Africans. And the aAdvantage of comprehensive motor insurance is that it is unique as it covers the most South Africans including Third Party Fire and Theft. It also extends to cover the damages to your own or someone else’s car when you are driving it.

Other vehicle insurance options are designed to meet the needs of drivers operating in the unique South African driving environments. These include motorcycle cover, off-road comprehensive cover, and caravan cover.

If you remain accident-free, you can expect to pay lower monthly premiums. If your current insurance provider does not offer discounts for safe driving, it might be time to shop around for better rates.

During the purchase of insurance, you should check the maximum amount that you are going to paid if claimed. If this excess amount is high, then premium will also be high. Selection of maximum amount depends on you. It gives you benefit on long run, if you can afford higher excess amount.

If you own an expensive or high performance vehicle, you will pay more for your premiums. These cars cost more to insure because they are considered a higher risk and are expensive to replace or repair. So when you car shop, keep in mind that your insurance premiums will add to the cost of owning the vehicle you choose.

Receive discounts and pay lesser premiums by exceeding the security requirements mandated by your insurance company. So get your vehicle installed with security gadgets that exceeds the minimums specified by your insurer.

Living in high crime areas leaves you at risk for a car theft or high jacking. Considering a possible relocation could bring your premiums down a substantial amount.Parking your car in a safer enviroment such as a locked garage or behind locked gates could also give you a discount.

When you have not looked at insurance premiums before you may be surprised at how expensive they are. There are factors that determine the rates that you do not have control over and some that you do have control over.

Your age and driving record are important factors even if you cannot do anything much about them. Time is an important factor; you will pay more if you’re very young or have no history of driving. You will also pay more if you’ve had many accidents. On the other hand, if you’ve driven safely for a while, you will pay lower premiums.

The value of your vehicle is another important consideration. Expensive vehicles are more expensive to insure, as are high performance vehicles.

Another way to reduce your premiums is to increase your safety measures. Some companies have minimum safety requirements, but will discount your premiums if you exceed these minimums. Also consider where you keep your vehicle. If your car is parked in a high-crime area or even on the street overnight, you’ll pay for that risk.

Be sure to research different kinds of insurance and how they relate to your situation. Just because something is cheap doesn’t mean it is right for you. Be sure to select the policy that meets your needs and is at a price you can afford.
