Security Measures
Any steps you take to protect your car and lower the risk of theft, hijacking or accident damage can be classified as security measures. Taking security measures is the responsibility of every car owner and can save you a lot of money in the long run, not only on insurance but also on other costs, such as having to buy a new car.
Installing security devices or systems in your car will qualify you for lower monthly car insurance premiums. Here we are looking at alarms, immobilizers and tracking devices. Please note that the device must be approved by your insurer so before installing a new device, first check with your insurance company that it is on their list of approved systems. Taking “general care” such as parking in well-lit, safe areas, keeping your car in a locked garage and always keeping your car locked are also classified as security measures.
Simply being a careful driver is a security measure that can prevent accidents and save not only your life and prevent the trauma that accompany a car accident, but also protect your no-claim bonus. Your no-claim bonus can be worth thousands of rands, its worth checking out the details.
