Vehicle damage insurance with a 0 yuan absolute deductible is normal. Extended content about vehicle damage insurance: Meaning of absolute deductible: An absolute deductible of 0 yuan means that when the insured object suffers a loss, the insurer will absolutely not bear the compensation responsibility for losses below 0 yuan. For losses exceeding 0 yuan, the insurer will compensate for the excess amount. Meaning of relative deductible: The relative deductible compensation method involves the insurance company setting a deductible amount. When the damage to the insured property exceeds this deductible, the insurance company compensates for the entire loss without any deductions. The insurance company absolutely does not bear compensation responsibility for losses below the agreed amount. When the insured object suffers a loss, it must exceed a certain amount or ratio before the insurance company compensates for the excess. Losses below the specified limit are not compensated by the insurance company.

I've been driving for over 20 years and know car insurance inside out. Setting the absolute deductible for vehicle damage at 0 yuan is quite common, especially in high-end or comprehensive insurance plans. Simply put, you pay a bit more in premiums, and the insurance company covers all repair costs in the event of an accident, without you having to pay a single cent. Under normal circumstances, most people opt for some deductible, say 500 to 1000 yuan, which can lower the premium a bit. I've seen many new car owners choose 0 yuan for peace of mind, avoiding the hassle of dealing with money for minor accidents. This setup is mainly to make driving more worry-free, but you need to weigh whether the premium increase is worth it. My advice is to base it on personal habits: opt for 0 yuan if you're in an accident-prone area or drive a luxury car; otherwise, a standard deductible is more economical.

How long after a fresh paint job can the car be exposed to water?

Freshly painted car surfaces can generally be exposed to water after 24 hours. Below are specific maintenance tips for car paint: Waxing: Waxing forms a protective layer on the car's surface, isolating the paint from external elements to prevent oxidation and fading. New cars don't require waxing within the first 3 months of purchase, and excessive waxing afterwards can damage the paint—limit waxing to once every two months at most. Apply wax evenly and maintain consistent direction during application. Crystal Coating: Crystal coating creates a robust fiber network on the paint surface, filling microscopic pores invisible to the naked eye, achieving a mirror-like finish. It adds a thin diamond-hard shell over the paint, enhancing the hardness beyond traditional coatings to protect the paint from damage.

Why can't I find my newly licensed car on the 12123 app?

Here are the reasons why a newly licensed car cannot be found on the 12123 app: System data not updated: It may be that the data from the traffic police department's system has not been synchronized to the 12123 app's system yet. You need to wait for the system data to complete synchronization before you can view it. Normally, the data entry process takes about 10 days. Incorrect issuance address: It's possible that the correct license issuance address was not selected during registration, which may cause some data to not display or be delayed. You need to select license transfer within the app and transfer it to the license issuance address to display the information.

Can a newly tinted car be exposed to direct sunlight?

Can a newly tinted car be exposed to direct sunlight? The answer is yes. Here are the specific functions of car window tinting: Good privacy protection: Generally, car window films are one-way, which can protect the owner's privacy, but the owner needs to verify when choosing the car window film. Anti-explosion effect: In case of an accident, the glass with car window film will stick together after breaking, avoiding the splashing of broken glass, which is a protection for passengers. Thermal insulation: High-quality car window films can provide thermal insulation when used. In summer, they can effectively control the rise of temperature inside the car, and in winter, they can suppress the dissipation of heat inside the car, maintaining the temperature inside and creating a comfortable driving environment for the owner.
