How do I cancel my car insurance contract?

You can read more about it in this blog post.

Can I cancel my car insurance at any time?

Although car insurance policies are typically for one year, it is usually possible to cancel your contract to change insurers at any time. However, some insurance companies will charge a cancellation fee or require a notice period.

Do I need to insure vehicles that are not in use?

The answer to this question depends on the reason the vehicle is not in use and the requirements of your insurance company.

If your vehicle is out of service for an extended period of time, you may want to consider insuring it against risks such as theft, fire or damage from the elements. This can be especially important if the vehicle is parked in an area where it is at risk of damage or theft, such as a low-traffic street or an unattended parking lot.

However, if your vehicle is simply parked for a short period of time, such as a repair or maintenance, your current insurance policy may already cover the above risks. It is important to check the terms and conditions of your insurance contract to see what is and is not covered.

In any case, it is always best to contact your insurance company to discuss your specific situation and ensure that you have the appropriate coverage for your vehicle not in use.

Should I file a claim after an accident?

The decision to file a claim after an accident depends on several factors, such as the severity of the accident, the amount of your deductible, your insurance history and the cost of repairs. To make an informed decision, don’t hesitate to call on the expertise of your AMR insurance broker, who will be able to offer you sound advice.

What should I do in the event of an accident?

In the event of a car accident, it is important to take immediate action to protect your safety and interests. Here are the steps to follow:

  2. Exchange information with the other driver(s) and, if the conditions of the accident lend themselves to it, fill out a joint report.
  3. photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage and any visible injuries.
  4. Contact your insurance broker promptly to report the accident and give them any information you have.

It is best to avoid admitting fault following the accident, as this could hurt your claim. Instead, let the insurance companies investigate and determine the cause of the accident.

Why do frequent claims increase the price of my insurance?

According to statistics, frequent claims indicate a higher likelihood that you will make future claims and therefore represent a greater risk to insurers; this results in a higher insurance premium.

Frequent claims may also indicate that you are more likely to cause damage in the future For example, many claims for car accidents could mean that you are driving recklessly.

Insurance companies also consider the costs associated with handling claims when calculating their premiums. The more claims you have, the higher the costs, which will affect their customers’ premiums, including those who make frequent claims.

  2. Chapter B (optional), also nicknamed “two-way insurance,” which covers damage to your own vehicle.
