With Dotsure having car insurance is made simpler.
When applying for any type of cover you can personally tailor any benefits of the car insurance plan. This means being able to remove benefits. If you do not drive in the rain and avoid it at all costs, you can remove the hail cover from your plan.
The same goes for your windscreen option if you do not often use gravel roads and if you do not use your car between the hours of 9 pm and 5 am in the mornings. These simple cover options can either add to your monthly car insurance premiums or take away from it, especially if you do not drive under specific circumstances. This in turn can help save you hundreds if not thousands on your monthly premiums making for tailored cheap car insurance.
The standard benefits that you receive are:
- Pothole protection for your rims
- License protect, which will help facilitate license renewal and remind you to do it on time
- Fines protect, Dotsure will also facilitate seamless payment and help negotiate discounts
- Emergency services in the event of an injury from an accident
- Accident protect, is another service where Dotsure will deal with the Road Accident Fund on your behalf so you do not have to
- Roadside assistance to help in the event of a breakdown from fuel, battery, or any other mechanical or electrical issue.
Dotsure’s comprehensive cover will also ensure non-standard equipment in your car is covered and they can provide you with a new set of keys in the event it is lost or stolen. Vehicle credit cover comes as part of your plan and your legal liability for causing damage to others is covered too.
