How Can I Get Low Premiums And Calculate My Premium?

No-claim bonuses

One way of lowering your premium amount is a no-claim bonus. If throughout your policy term you have not filed a claim, you may be entitled to a no-claim bonus. This bonus is offered to you as a discount and acts as a reward for safe and responsible driving. The longer you go without a claim, the higher the discount. However, if you do file a claim, the discount then drops to 0%.

Premium Calculator

Premiums for car insurance are calculated based on several factors. The make, model, and year of the car and the city of registration play a vital role in determining the premium amount. The fuel type of the vehicle, your age and your profession also factor into the calculation.

Here’s an example of what goes into calculating premiums for a car.
