There has been a lot written lately about Third Party Car insurance. The Government wants to make it compulsory and most New Zealanders agree that it should be. What many people don’t realise is how inexpensive third-party insurance can be to buy and how expensive having no insurance can be in the event of an accident.

snifter.jpgWe have an old car at home – a 1985 Mitsubishi Mirage. The poor thing has seen better days and it is a cause of rejoicing in our household each time it manages to pass the Warrant of Fitness test. We’ve used it to teach our three children to drive and they use it to buzz around town in.

Because of the age of our children, the cost of getting full insurance on the car, which is only worth about $500, is very high. But third party insurance is around $150 a year.

And has it been worth it? You bet! The first accident was our eldest daughter’s fault. She caused over $2,000 damage to the car she hit. The second accident was our son’s responsibility. He did $2,800 damage to the car he hit. All our kids are good drivers but accidents happen and without our third-party insurance the owners of the damaged cars would have claimed from their insurance companies and those companies would probably have used legal proceedings to get the money from us – and we’d most likely still be in debt repaying it.

If you have a vehicle, insurance is vital. Remember, when you insure something such as a car, it is not the car you are insuring. You are insuring yourself so that, if you cause damage with that car you will not be placed under the pressure of a debt you may never be able to escape from. Vehicle insurance is not about insuring your car - it's about insuring yourself against a lifetime of debt!
If you are uninsured because you find it too expensive, phone an insurer and ask for a third-party insurance quote - it's worth it for your own peace of mind.

Note: there are two types of third-party insurance;

  • Basic third party insurance insures the damage you may cause to another person’s vehicle or property with the insured car.
  • Third-party fire and theft is slightly more expensive and insures damage to other vehicles, and to yours if your car if it is damaged by fire or stolen.
