Is it mandatory to purchase new car insurance at a 4S dealership?
1 Answers
Whether new car insurance must be purchased at a 4S dealership depends on the situation. For cars purchased with consumer loans at a 4S dealership, if the bank or financial institution has mandatory requirements, you must purchase the specified insurance when picking up and registering the vehicle. The following are considerations when purchasing insurance: Choosing an insurance company: If you choose to purchase car insurance yourself, the first step is to find a suitable insurance company. Be cautious when selecting small insurance companies, especially those that are not well-known. This is because claims settlement can be difficult and troublesome with such companies, and their limited nationwide service networks may cause car owners to waste a lot of time on procedures. Selecting insurance items: When insuring a new car, choosing the right items is crucial. The first item to purchase is vehicle damage insurance, which offers high cost-effectiveness and covers minor scratches and collisions. Next is third-party liability insurance, which serves as an excellent supplement to compulsory traffic insurance. It costs slightly more but provides significantly higher coverage. Additionally, if you don’t have a garage or a fixed parking space, theft insurance is necessary. Other additional insurances can be selected based on your needs. Points to note regarding purchasing methods: Currently, the more common methods for purchasing car insurance are phone-based and online insurance. Both are much cheaper than traditional car insurance and are very convenient, allowing you to handle vehicle insurance without leaving your home.
