0% – that’s the crime rate in Metro Manila when Manny Pacquiao, the Philippines’ Pambansang Kamao, has a fight. On regular days though, the picture is much grimmer. Just in the first half of 2015, the crime rate in the Philippines totaled 509,924. For car thefts, in particular, carnapping comprised 3.15% (6,491) of the incidents reported, 2.97% higher than in the same period last year.

5 Tips on Choosing Your Car Insurance

Every driver in the Philippines knows that when they register a motor vehicle, they are required by law to have car insurance. The mandated insurance coverage is the Compulsory Third-Party Liability (CTPL). Beyond this, most drivers will have to choose any other covers to add to their policy.

Table of ContentsResearch your ProviderChoose your cover based on needReduce your PremiumsChoose your cover based on your driving habitsReview the Fine PrintNeed Car Insurance?

Insuring an ATV

- February 25, 2015
ATV is the acronym for All-Terrain Vehicle. They are also known as quad-bikes, which is a motorcycle on four wheels. While it’s rare to see one outside of specialty racetracks and beach tours, ATVs are legal to use in the streets. How does one go about having them prepared for the road? Your ATV needs to be registered with the Land Transportation Office. You’ll need to make sure that it is up to code. Most ATVs above 1,100 CC displacement will have the necessary safety features (headlights, tail lights, side mirrors), and you’ll also need street legal tires. Like any other vehicle, it’ll also need insurance. How do I get insurance for an ATV? Unlike auto insurance, which requires a compulsory third-party liability cover; ATVs generally carry a single passenger. Coverage for ATVs usually starts with the comprehensive insurance, then move on to Collision, Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liabilities. Insurance providers are usually keen on giving discounts for people who plan to insure multiple ATV units given their usage as tourist transportation in some parts of the country.

Accidents happen, this is a fact that everyone needs to realize. There are plenty of hit-and-run cases the world over, and these occur for plenty of reasons: negligence chief among them. Whether or not you were at fault, there are certain things that you need to do if you hit a person with your car. Table of ContentsCheck on the injuredCall emergency servicesStay where you areContact your insurerContact a Lawyer Check on the injured Getting hit by a moving vehicle isn’t something you can shrug off. One of your first priorities should be to check for injuries to anyone in your vehicle, then on the person that was just hit. Check on them, but don’t move them, as you may not know the extent of their injuries. If the victim remains conscious in spite of any injury, it is ideal that you keep them conscious until first responders arrive. Call emergency services Calling the authorities to report an accident is key to ensuring the survival of the person you happened to hit. The Philippine National Police’s (PNP) emergency response number is 117, and the Metro Manila Development Authority’s is 136. Usually other people will as well (if they aren’t too busy gawking and taking videos.), but it helps if the owner of the vehicle involved makes the call. Have your driver’s license ready as well when they arrive, and give them all the details of the incident. While this may be obvious: be honest.

What to Compare When You Compare Car Insurance

- January 20, 2015
When buying an expensive car, you’re investing on a mode of transportation. It’s only natural to want to protect this investment by applying for vehicle insurance. Most countries require a compulsory third party liability insurance coverage to cover accidents that may occur over time. More coverage in your car insurance policy, however, provides you with a lifetime perk called “peace of mind.” Choosing the right car insurance from the right insurance provider might be tricky, however. This is because there are a number of things to consider before you decide on a car insurance provider to choose. You have to take into consideration the following: Coverage, Exclusions, Premium, Excess or Deductibles, Claims Service and Procedure, and the insurance company’s stability. Table of ContentsCoverageExclusionsPremiumExcess or DeductibleClaims Service & ProcedureCompany Stability Coverage A comprehensive car insurance is something people would want for their brand new automobile. There are many types of coverage you can get: liability coverage that helps you pay for any accidents, injuries, or damage for the people involved in the accident; a policy that covers costs if your car is stolen or damaged but was not involved in an accident; insurance coverage that helps you cover costs if you are hit by someone (or you hit someone) without insurance.
