FNB Car Insurance Products
First National Bank has different car insurance products available to choose from. Car insurance products include comprehensive car insurance, third-party only car insurance, and third-party, fire and theft car insurance. These products are discussed in detail below.
FNB Comprehensive Car insurance
FNB comprehensive car insurance is a car insurance cover that covers a wide range of incidents. The cover covers intentional occurrences, natural occurrences, and accidents. Comprehensive insurance cover from FNB covers you against:
- Malicious damage to your vehicle by someone,
- Hijacking,
- Vehicle theft,
- Attempted hijacking,
- Attempted vehicle theft( damages incurred during the attempt),
- Natural occurrences such as fire, explosions, earthquakes, lightning, or hail storms.
- Damage to third-party vehicles.
- Accident
Roadside assistance is automatically activated upon subscribing to the comprehensive car insurance cover. You get 24/7 access to the benefit and it is available to you anywhere in South Africa. Towing costs are taken care of by FNB should your vehicle need to be towed away.
FNB Third-Party, Fire and Theft Car insurance
FNB third party, fire, and theft car insurance is an insurance product for motor vehicles that are paid off or that are older than 15 years. The third-party, fire, and theft car insurance cover offers lesser coverage when compared to the comprehensive car insurance but comes at a more affordable premium than the comprehensive car insurance.
The third-party, fire and theft car insurance cover against:
- Vehicle theft,
- Attempted vehicle theft,
- Vehicle hijacking,
- Attempted vehicle hijacking,
- Fire-related damages,
- Damages that you may have caused to another person’s vehicle during an accident.
The purpose of the third party, fire, and theft car insurance is to offer a car insurance cover that is affordable by cutting off some of the covers included in the comprehensive car insurance cover. Accidental damage is not covered by the cover. Furthermore, the third party, fire, and theft car insurance cover doesn’t cover natural occurrences.
FNB Third-party only car insurance
FNB third-party only car insurance provides coverage to those that want to insure themselves against third-party damages. The third-party only car insurance covers one against third-party property damage to the extent that they are legally liable to compensate the third party. FNB only pays for the damages that are caused by the insured.
Damage to own vehicle is not covered by the third party only car insurance. Therefore, it is important to have another car insurance product if you have third-party car insurance. With another car insurance product, you will be able to replace or repair your car at a lesser or at no additional cost in case of an accident. Otherwise, with third-party-only insurance, you will have to cover the total cost of repairing/replacing your own vehicle.
