Identity Verification: When purchasing car insurance online, it is best to buy from a fixed insurance sales outlet. Before purchasing, make sure to check the website and buy from the official website of the insurance company. Policy Review: After deciding to buy insurance, the owner must carefully read the terms of each car insurance contract. Missing terms that do not match the purchase intention may result in losses. Policy Verification: Generally, buying car insurance online differs from face-to-face purchases. When purchasing insurance, be sure to verify the policy. Bank Transfer: Currently, online car insurance payments are made via bank transfer. The premium is directly deposited into the designated account of the insurance company, which can prevent agents from embezzling the premium. Renewal for Used Cars: Driving license, previous year's policy: Generally, no need to provide when renewing with the same company. When switching to another company, some companies may require it. If the insurance applicant is an individual, provide: ID card. If the insurance applicant is a company: Organization code certificate. Current purchase channels include: 4S store purchase
I've been driving since the 1990s, and my experience with car insurance is to prioritize setting up automatic payments linked to a bank account or credit card, so you don't have to worry about it every month. Payment options include annual, semi-annual, or monthly. Paying the full annual premium upfront often comes with higher discounts, but requires a large sum of money; semi-annual payments balance cost and convenience; monthly payments are flexible but cost more in the long run. I usually use the insurance company's app or online banking to handle payments. Ten years ago, I had to go to the counter to pay by check—it's so much more convenient now. Remember to handle renewal reminders promptly, as missing a payment can lead to a lapse in coverage, which would be troublesome in case of an accident. I also recommend checking payment history to ensure no overcharging—this trick has saved my wallet more than once.
