Finding the perfect insurance cover can often feel like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the risks are real – from not having enough protection to rising costs and financial setbacks. Finding what’s right for you shouldn’t be a hassle - with the right know-how, and the right partner, you can triumph in your insurance quest.

We’ve compiled a list of 8 insurance pitfalls that you should avoid when looking for insurance:

• Personal info updates: Amid life’s whirl, remember to keep your insurer and broker updated. Your physical address, car details, and driving history play an important part not only in determining your premium, but also making sure that you are adequately covered. Keep this information up to date.
• Discounts and Bundles: Keep an eye out for discounts for your safe driving habits, multiple cars or bundled policies. Chat with an expert consultant for potential savings that can simplify your insurance journey.
• Cover Review: Life evolves, so do your insurance needs. A new car, a growing family, or financial changes can alter your requirements. Make use of policy reviews to identify shortcomings or mistakes in your policy to ensure that you have the cover you need.

• Uninsured Motorists: Don’t underestimate the number of cars on the road that are uninsured. By insuring your car you can protect yourself from damages caused by the driver of an uninsured car, if they are ever at fault – your wallet will thank you.
