Why you need car insurance

Insurance of any kind can often feel like a grudge purchase. You see this money fly out of your bank account every month and you feel like you never use the service. The Oneplan team is human and completely understands how you feel, we’ve been there too.

That being said, however, car insurance is definitely something you cannot go without (if you have a car that is). With a reliable car insurance policy, you are always covered for:

  1. Damages
  2. Theft
  3. Fire protection
  4. Roadside assistance and more.

You never know when something might happen so make sure you’re covered. Like we always say: we can’t predict when things go wrong, but we can be covered for when they do.

The difference between third party cover and comprehensive cover

You’ve definitely heard the words third party cover and comprehensive insurance but they’re often misunderstood so we’re here to break it down for you!

Comprehensive insurance is an insurance option that covers your car for practically everything. From car accidents to fire, theft and other insured events, as well as third party claims – you’re covered. This cover is often a little bit pricey.

This means that car owners sometimes opt for a lower form of cover and one of the most popular options is third party cover.

A third party insurance policy will only cover the other person’s damages in an event of an accident whereas comprehensive cover will cover both you and the other person. This means that with only third party cover, you will find yourself footing the bill for quite a bit more.

Third party insurance may be tempting but you may end up in a worse off situation than you expected.
