\"car-insurance-myths\"<\/p>\n

Having the wrong information can end up costing you money, especially when it comes to insurance. Despite being in the information age, misinformation is floating around the internet and sometimes in your peer groups. Stay informed and make the best decisions regarding your insurance. Let\u2019s debunk some common car insurance myths. Here are some common statements that are simply not true.<\/p>\n

Myth 1: \u201cAll car insurance is the same\u201d <\/strong><\/h2>\n

All car insurance is not the same.<\/p>\n

Not only are there different types of car insurance, but every company is also different.<\/p>\n

Be sure to take the time to research car insurance companies and their policies to get the best coverage for your vehicle.<\/p>\n

If you find the best policy for your needs, you\u2019ll likely save money and get great benefits<\/a> you might have missed out on without proper research.<\/p>\n

For example, if you\u2019re the only person who will be driving your car, you qualify for a 15% discount at General Accident Insurance.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Myth 2: \u201cCar insurance is too expensive\u201d <\/strong><\/h2>\n

The truth is, not having great car insurance would cost more money!<\/p>\n

For example, if you get into a car accident<\/a>, depending on your insurance policy, you can get a replacement rental car. If only your windscreen is damaged in an incident, you can have it replaced without having to pay an Excess, and without it affecting your no claims discount.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re injured in an accident, some of your medical bills may be covered.<\/p>\n

Without insurance, you would have to pay for all of that out of pocket and end up in trouble with the law since driving without insurance is illegal.<\/p>\n

There are also other ways you can save money on your car insurance. At General Accident Insurance, we offer additional discounts. Talk to us to see which ones you qualify for.<\/p>\n

It pays to have car insurance.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Myth 3: \u201cCar insurance doesn\u2019t help with natural disasters\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If your car is damaged due to a fire, hurricane, earthquake or another act of nature, your car insurance policy may cover these too.<\/p>\n

With General Accident Insurance, one of the benefits of our comprehensive policy is coverage for floods and special perils like fire and even riots.<\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019re worried about your car being damaged by any natural disaster, talk to us about getting comprehensive insurance.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Myth 4: \u201cChanging insurance providers is costly\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re unhappy with your car insurance provider, you may be thinking about switching to another.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be happy to know that changing insurance providers does not have to be costly.<\/p>\n

As a matter of fact, at General Accident Insurance, you can save 10% off your annual premium by switching.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Myth 5: \u201cOld cars don\u2019t need insurance\u201d <\/strong><\/h2>\n

All cars need insurance.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s illegal to operate a motor vehicle in Barbados without some type of third-party liability insurance.<\/p>\n

However, if you have an older car, you may feel like insurance is a waste of money but it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n

If your car gets damaged in an accident and the cost to repair exceeds the value of the car, we will pay you the car\u2019s market value less the deductible.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Myth 6: \u201cI don\u2019t need insurance if I\u2019m a safe driver\u201d <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Being a safe driver is great! However, accidents can happen to the safest drivers. Having car insurance is not only legally required but it can save you a lot of trouble.<\/p>\n

Your insurance can help you with paying for the damage, medical bills, legal fees and more.<\/p>\n
