Is your car free from the coronavirus? Much of what we hear about coronavirus prevention has to do with good personal hygiene, such as frequent and proper handwashing. But there’s hardly any info on how to disinfect car interior and keep it virus-free. During the outbreak, protect yourself and your passengers through good car sanitation practices—whether you drive for personal or ride-sharing purposes. More so if you own a fleet of vehicles for rental or any commercial use, especially if you live in an area with many confirmed cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Before we discuss how to disinfect car interior against viruses, it’s important to understand first how infections can possibly happen inside a car. Car interiors can contain and help spread viruses that cause infectious diseases like COVID-19. When an infected person coughs or exhales, small droplets from the nose or mouth land on surfaces in the car. Coronaviruses survive on surfaces for a few hours or up to several days, according to the World Health Organization (WHO)[1]. Other passengers can get infected when they touch surfaces with the virus, and then touch their eyes, nose, or mouth. The silver lining here, though, is that you can kill the virus on various surfaces in your car. DIY Car Sanitation Tips Car interior cleaning for coronavirus prevention is simpler than…

7 Types of Car Insurance Claims You Can File in the Philippines
- By Moneymax
- November 25, 2019
Got into an accident or an emergency involving your car? In such circumstances, it’s either you pay for vehicle repair and medical expenses out of your pocket or make a car insurance claim. Both have their pros and cons depending on the situation. For example, if the accident involves only you and your car, and your total repair and/or medical expenses are lower than your deductibles, the more practical choice is to forego making a claim and pay for them on your own instead. However, filing a car insurance claim makes more sense if the accident caused damage to another car and/or injured or killed another person. In such a case, you can request your car insurance provider to pay for or reimburse the expenses according to the terms of your policy. When making a claim, the insurer will ask you to specify your claim type before proceeding with the car insurance claims processing. So before you contact your insurance provider or broker, familiarize yourself first with the different types of claims in the Philippines.

8 Car Insurance Add-ons You Need to Consider
- By Moneymax
- November 18, 2019
Getting a comprehensive car insurance policy is a smarter decision than just settling for the government-mandated Compulsory Third Party Liability (CTPL) insurance. Comprehensive insurance provides better protection against the financial impact of car damage and theft, personal accident, and property damage, among others. But don’t be misled into thinking that “comprehensive” means “complete” in car insurance. Some benefits you need as a motorist may not be included in the standard package and are instead offered as optional car insurance add-ons or riders. Here are eight car insurance add-ons or riders to consider when purchasing a car insurance policy in the Philippines. Table of Contents1. Roadside AssistanceRoadside assistance may include the following benefits:2. Acts of Nature or Acts of GodActs of Nature may cover these natural events:3. Personal Effects Coverage4. Loss of Use5. Riots, Strikes, and Civil Commotion Coverage6. Lost Wage Recovery7. Pet Injury Coverage8. Legal AssistanceFinal ThoughtsGet a Free Car Insurance Quote! 1. Roadside Assistance Roadside assistance from an insurance provider is extremely helpful when your car breaks down due to electrical or mechanical issues, flooding, or a road accident. During a roadside emergency, just ring your insurance company and let them know what happened, and help will be on the way. When choosing an insurance policy, make sure your car insurance add-ons include a 24/7 roadside assistance coverage. This will save you from the headache of dealing with your stalled vehicle alone on the road. Roadside assistance may include the following benefits: Vehicle assistance Emergency towing Vehicle removal using a crane Jumpstarting a dead battery Fuel delivery Tire change…
