Insure your car the Right Way
Simple as it sounds, it’s not surprising that still a lot of Filipinos don’t know how to insure their cars the right way.

So its value to get all the information through to the insurance company accurately. Another case worth pointing out is that there is a notion that the higher the market value of the car, the better it is for claims settlement. This is not exactly true. Under insuring and over insuring may have a direct impact on the claims settlement.

They just wait for the quote of the in-house car insurance from the car dealerships where the bought the car, the quote of their financing companies, their friend who is a car insurance agent, or an insurance company to whom they requested a quote.
