These days, it seems jobs are few and far between. Even for those who are skilled workers, it is becoming harder and harder to find a job that can help you feed your family. And though it may be an industry that is competitive and difficult to break into, vehicle insurance is a great way to earn commission on products that you sell and make the money you need.

Vehicle insurance companies generally operate in two ways. They either deliver their products straight to the public, or they go through brokers. Many companies keep both of those options on the table, to ensure that they don’t lose out on any income. If you are intending to become a broker and deal with car insurance companies, you need to know that your potential clients can always go direct, so your offering to them needs to be something extra special. You need to be able to give clients not just excellent products at affordable value, but also the benefit of your wisdom and an ear to talk to.

One of the best ways to make money in this industry is by becoming a broker dealing with business auto insurance. What this means is that you will arrange for motor vehicle insurance for the vehicles of a company. This may be just one or two cars, or could include a whole fleet of vehicles. By being the person responsible for the insurance on these vehicles, your commission will be great, but so will your responsibilities.

Business vehicle insurance is a difficult offering to make since you have to shop around for group rates and try to find cheaper insurance than that offered by large companies direct to the client. It is so important to remind your clients that what they get with you is a single point of contact, someone they can just call for cheap car insurance who will do all the work for them. You then need to be the person who approaches motor vehicle insurance companies and get their quotes and policies. This means a lot of responsibility and a lot of pressure, but at the end of the day can result in a huge commission for you.

The cost of insurance

Sometimes the cost of insurance can be a lot to handle. The insurance can vary from person to person about as much as the JSE varies from day to day. There are so many factors involved insurance can end up costing you as much as your car or as little as getting your hair done. The problem is that we don’t just need one type of insurance, we need many. All insurances expenses taken into account can end up costing an arm and a leg every month – soon you find yourself running out of limbs. All jokes aside, insurance is pretty painful to say the least. So what are those pesky things that drive up the cost of your insurance every month? Two words: statistical risks.

Some of them we can control and some of them can only improve with age. That’s bad news for the under 25’s of today, as they are statistically worse drivers and lead more reckless lifestyles. Gender is one thing that is less flexible, females have less serious accidents and therefore pay lower premiums, however they pay more on their medical aid. What you can change is where you live, what you drive and what you do for a living. Things that are less drastic to change that will reduce your premiums are security systems, exercise and a good credit record. Bundling insurance policies, that is, having all your policies with the same company will decrease your premiums.

While you can’t make yourself older, (and why would you want to?) you can improve your driving skills which count in your favour. Simply take an advanced driving course and you should see a bit of a difference in your premiums. Make sure your insurance company knows about your every effort to bring down your premium. Get health examinations, make use of your gym membership, put in extra home security, and build a roof of some kind over where your car is parked but most importantly you need to let them know. They may seem like mind readers but they’re really just people who get on well with calculators. While insurance seems to be getting more expensive by the day no monthly expense compares to the financial ruin you could face should anything unexpected happen. That’s just the problem, you just never know. If your insurance premiums are very costly it’s because you are actually in need of it.

Compare Quotes Insurance

To compare quotes on insurance is now easier than ever. No more having to try to remember who was that company that gave me a quote, was it company a, b, c or d t and was it R200 or R300? Maybe it was company d who was the best price. That used to be the way things were done, no written quotes, you were told they would come in the post, and a verbal quote was what you got. Then when you looked again, your bank account was automatically debited with an astronomical amount you never agreed to because all the extras were added that you were not aware of and were not told about.
This gave insurance a bad name, and insurance companies have now gone online to help make this process as simple and easy for you as clicking a mouse. What you see is what you get. The inter-net has really simplified our lives so much that you now have the choice of filling in one form and being able to compare premiums. By filling in your details once, you can compare the premiums, cover, benefits and bonuses that up to nine companies can offer you. You are under no obligation, as a consultant will contact you with the very best price and the choice is still yours.
This way you choose the best option for your circumstances, and your budget, and you can sleep easier at night knowing you are covered in the event that you may need it. Today, with the amount of crime in our country, no-one can afford to be without insurance. With the state of the economy and the price of replacing a car, or having to pay for your own or a third party’s car repairs or replacement costs, who can afford that today.
It is no good saying it will never happen to me, because your chances are just as good as the next person. Crime and accidents happen without warning, and if you are covered for these eventualities it will be one less worry off your mind.
