Fathers are famous for a very specific kind of advice. They don’t ask if we’re eating enough or brushing our teeth. No, instead fathers will ask you when we last checked our tyres, filled up with fuel, and sorted out our insurance… Out of all the advice that fathers give (and they do dole out the good stuff) telling us to make sure that our expensive belongings are covered against theft and damage is incredibly valuable.
In honour of all the amazing fathers out there, we’ve provided you with a list of the types of insurance that they’d be proud of you for getting.
Car insurance of any sort
Watching you drive off in your own wheels is a proud moment for any papa, but if you really want to see a tear in his eyes, you’ll take out car insurance. And it doesn’t have to be fancy… Third party only is enough for him to break out the ‘proud dad’ handshake.
The reason for this is because there’s something very comforting about knowing that if an accident or theft occurs, you won’t be left destitute if you’ve taken out cover. There’s some financial cushion to help shoulder the blow and, depending on the type of cover that you take out, set you up to repair or replace your car so that you can be on your way again.
That said, comprehensive cover really is first prize. And, at King Price, the cost of your comprehensive car cover reduces monthly. (Just think how you’ll impress dad by telling him that!)
Shortfall cover
You’ve taken the leap and decided to buy a safer car that’s a little more expensive. Your dad approves of the make and model (he’s kicked the tyres and taken it out for a test drive). You’ve been approved for finance and taken out comprehensive car insurance.
And then you tell your dad that in addition to car insurance, you’re taking out incredibly useful credit shortfall cover. This cover pays the difference between what you might still owe the financer and the actual value of your car at the time of you claiming for a theft, hi-jack or write-off.
This way, you can use the pay-out to replace your car, without having to hand over any cash to the financial institution. It’s the height of being prepared for whatever life throws at you and as a result, he’s gripping you in a bear hug of pride.
R1 insurance
Dads the world over want you to be prepared. They also want you to pay a fair price so that you can continue to afford your life and achieve your dreams. This is why 1 of the most dad-worthy insurance products is the R1 insurance policy from King Price.
This is pretty much the lowest price you can pay for insurance and is precisely why your father will be impressed. Simply, R1 insurance from King Price covers expensive items, like your Apple watch, bicycle and golf clubs.
The way it works is that you take out comprehensive car insurance with King Price and then you can insure 1 expensive item for R1. If you insure 2+ cars, you can insure an equal number of R1 items. Oh, and then if you insure 2+ cars with them, you’ll also get up to 20% discount on your total car premium with their multiple car discount.
