			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Your <em>motor vehicle insurance</em> will cover you for major damage or loss. It may even conditionally cover your <em>motor vehicle </em>for minor damages. For damages to your <em>motor vehicle, </em>you will need to pay an amount referred to as an excess. You have heard of it and probably know it is a pre-requisite to having the <em>motor vehicle </em>repaired. You pay with gritted teeth. However, what would be the case if the repair was minor and you do not have the finance to repair the damage immediately. Surely you would want a policy to cover you in that situation. That’s when you need to look into and consider taking out a <strong><em>scratch and dent insurance </em>policy</strong>.</p>
<p><span id="more-110"></span></p>

<p>Minor accidents will and do occur. And when they do, surely you will not want to drive your <em>motor vehicle </em>around with that ugly dent or scratch or even. You want your vehicle looking good all the time. And knowing the way <em>motor vehicles </em>are manufactured these days, that scratch could turn rusty and look even uglier. You therefore need to have it taken care of. But alas it is not cheap to repair minor chips and scratches on <em>motor vehicles. </em></p>
<p>Having a <em>scratch and dent insurance </em>policy will not only be a relief to you at a time when you need it, but will be a blessing in disguise. How? Let us take a brief look at the basics of the policy.</p>
<p>Unlike a regular <a title="Motor and HouseHold Insurance" href="http://www.motorandhouseholdinsurance.co.za/"><strong><em>motor insurance </em>policy</strong></a>, a <strong><em>scratch and dent insurance </em>policy</strong> is very inexpensive. It covers you, as mentioned above, for minor dents and such on you vehicle. A further draw card is that you will not have to pay any excess before any repair is carried out to the vehicle. The policy will pay one hundred per cent of the cost of repairs. So you will not have to upset your budget or take out a loan to repair the damage. A sure relief.</p>
<p>A further relief is that you will be referred to a preferred auto repairer. This will ensure that your vehicle is taken care of one hundred per cent and restored to the original condition without any compromise on quality of workmanship or repair items used.</p>
<p>However, like all insurance polices, there may be limitations on what shall be covered. For example, a scratch exceeding a certain length or a dent exceeding a certain amount to repair, may not be covered. The good news in that instant is that your regular <em>motor vehicle insurance</em> will cover you for that repair. So you are covered all round. A right relief.</p>
<p>Request a quote from you <em>insurance </em>company. It is advisable to go with the same <em>insurance </em>company that you have your <em>motor vehicle insurance </em>with. However, shop around first and get the best deals possible.</p>
<p>Why pay the excess when you need not. Protect your car and you pocket. Be wise to daily mishaps that may happen. <em>Scratch and dent insurance</em> is the answer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you think you are fully covered with your <strong>motor vehicle insurance</strong>&#8230; think again. Read the fine print!!!!</p>
<p>Sure you are covered for major repairs and damage to your vehicle caused through, for example, an accident. <strong>Sure you are covered for theft and / or hi-jacking</strong>. But are you covered for everyday little mishaps that may occur, and which are usually costly to repair. Are you covered for <strong><em>Scratch and Dent</em></strong>?</p>
<p><span id="more-106"></span></p>

<p>In majority of the cases, you will not be covered for <strong><em>Scratch and Dent</em></strong> via your motor vehicle insurance cover. Repairs for these will have to be paid for by you. And let’s face it, repairing a scratch on your windscreen or a dent on your car, is costly. Do you have the finance readily available to do so?</p>
<p>No? Then why not insure your motor vehicle further, at very <strong>affordable rates</strong>, for those little annoying but costly mishaps. <em>Scratch and Dent</em> insurance will not only protect you from worries, but will save you the hassle of a run around when incidents that are not covered by your <a title="Motor and HouseHold Insurance" href="http://www.motorandhouseholdinsurance.co.za/" target="_blank"><strong>motor vehicle insurance</strong></a> do occur.</p>
<p>You are driving down to the shops. Not in a hurry. Enjoying the scenic drive. Then all of a sudden a stone, picked up by the wheel of the vehicle in front, hits your <strong>windscreen</strong>, the shock causes you to slightly steer of the road and you drive against ta woody bush on the side of the road. Upon arrival at your destination, you inspect your motor vehicle. You have picked up a <strong>chip on your windscreen</strong> and a nasty scratch on your car.</p>
<p>You take your motor vehicle to a panel beater for a quote. And get an expected shock and surprise at the cost involved at having the <strong><em>Scratch and Dent</em></strong> repaired. But it has to be done. Your motor vehicle does not look good with the nasty <em>scratch and dent</em>. If not repaired, the chip on the windscreen may become bigger and the scratch could turn rusty. Not a pretty sight.</p>
<p>Your <strong>motor vehicle insurance</strong> will, in all probability, not cover you for repairing the chip or scratch. You would be referred to exclusion clauses in your policy, something you had never looked at before. That’s when your <strong><em>Scratch and Dent</em> policy</strong> comes in. Your scratch and Dent policy will not only cover the costs of repairs, but will refer you to a reputable repair centre or workshop where you know your vehicle will be taken care of and repaired accurately and one hundred percent.</p>
<p>The affordability of subscribing to a <em>Scratch and Dent</em> policy is surprising. It is well worth it and you not only get peace of mind, but friendly advice and assistance when the nasties hit your motor vehicle. Can you afford not to have a <em>Scratch and Dent</em> policy?</p>
<p>Contact you financial advisor and request a quote. Or add a <strong><em>Scratch and Dent</em> insurance</strong> policy to your <strong>existing motor vehicle insurance</strong>. You will be so glad and relieved you did.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Damage to your new car can be really annoying but <em>damage</em> and <strong>scratches</strong> to your windscreen can be twice as much annoying. There thanks to scratch and dent insurance you can now claim as soon as you pick up a stone chip. You may not really see the bad impact of these small tiny scratches but when time has gone by the damage will look as if the car was in an accident. You will be paying a <em>monthly</em> <em>instalment</em> just like any other insurance which at the end will cover all cost for the scratch and dent claims.  As a general rule <a title="Motor and HouseHold Insurance" href="http://www.motorandhouseholdinsurance.co.za/"><strong>car</strong> <strong>insurance</strong></a> will normally cover windscreen damage on a comprehensive policy if the damage was sustained during the covered period and all terms and conditions were complied with.</p>
<p><span id="more-102"></span></p>

<p>Car <a title="Best Life Insurance" href="http://www.bestlifeinsurance.co.za/"><strong>insurance</strong> <strong>policies</strong></a> in most cases do not pay excess unless the glass is repaired by approved agents. They might also exclude full cover and payment of excess for glass forming part of sunroofs or special glass or windscreens found on expensive imported vehicles. What can the vehicle owner do to prevent financial harm in the event of windscreen damage? Best advice is to consult your insurer or broker and request confirmation that your car insurance covers windscreen damage, what the effect might be on your excess and whether this will negatively impact a potential no-claims bonus.</p>
<p>You need to also make sure that you make yourself familiar with the terms and conditions that are guiding the policy. If you misinterpret the terms and conditions then it will result in you claiming for aspects that are not covered in the policy.  If you are not covered adequately you might consider <strong>scratch</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>dent</strong> <strong>insurance</strong> as an alternative to normal car insurance to help you save thousands in paying unnecessary excesses to your insurance company. Always communicate with your insurer and rather stay informed to avoid nasty little surprises later on at the time of claims process. You may also surf the internet and find out a lot about these insurance policies and how you can save money. Because of the numerous service providers out there on the market today, finding the perfect insurance will be a breeze for you. Just be sure that you purchase the insurance from accredited service provider.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In my long driving career, I&#8217;ve gotten more dents and dings than I care to admit to, and have destroyed at least a few bumpers and side panels. And though for many of these accidents, I&#8217;ve been able to use simple dent removal tools to help restore the cars to their original beauty, in many cases, the damage is too extensive.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Scratch and Dent Car and Auto Insurance</strong></p>
<p>My Family and I had decided to spend the summer holidays in Port Elizabeth. We had a nine to eleven hour drive from Durban. We had decided to use the Garden Route because of the wonderful scenery that is along side the road. The kids had waited anxiously for the trip. We set on the road one Saturday morning. It was very cold as it was early in the morning.</p>
<p><span id="more-97"></span></p>
<p><script type="text/javascript">// < ![CDATA[
 google_ad_client = "ca-pub-1580129458799088"; /* 336x280, created 6/29/09 */ google_ad_slot = "0289477569"; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280;
// ]]&gt;</script><br />
<script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" type="text/javascript">
</script></p>
<p>We laughed and joked the entire journey and we did not feel that we have been travelling for such a long time. We had a great time at P.E while we went visiting many places. After all the interesting trip that we were all waiting for had come to and end. We left P.E in return to Durban.</p>
<p>I then decided to rest the day of arrival. The next day everyone was busy cleaning up and I had to take the car to the <em>car</em> <em>wash</em>. When the car was done I had noticed that the paint had <strong>small</strong> <strong>scratches</strong> and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">dents</span>. I then took the car to the mechanic and he had asked me if I had scratch and dent insurance. I said no, he then explained to me that to <strong>repair</strong> or <span style="text-decoration: underline;">re-spray</span> the car is going to cost a fortune. I did not have a lot of cash because we had just come back from a holiday. He had explained to me that the <em>scratch</em> and <em>dent</em> <em>insurance</em> covers all these <strong>small dents and scratches</strong> that you car gets.</p>
<p>This is very handy because at times these repair cost come to lot and it is really not easy to pay cash.</p>
<p>The <strong>insurance</strong> is paid monthly and help you to repair your car when the need arises. As you sit in front and read the article you may not feel that this <span style="text-decoration: underline;">insurance</span> is of benefit to you but when it is too late that is when you will think back. It happened to me and don’t let in happen to you.</p>
<p>Many people out there today think that <em>insurance</em> <em>companies</em> steal your money. Well that is not true. When the need arises that company pays your expenses. You will not realize the importance of these insurance if you are not affected by these types of problems.</p>
<p>You may surf the internet and read up more on this type of<strong> insurance</strong> and how it may help you and your family. Please be sure that you understand the terms and condition of the <em>insurance</em> <em>broker</em> when <span style="text-decoration: underline;">purchasing the insurance</span>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most people work long and hard to own their first <em>brand new car</em>. It takes them a while before they do accomplish what seems like a dream and when they have it in their possession they realize the importance of <em>insuring</em> their car for hi-jacking, theft and damages. <strong>Scratch and Dent Insurance</strong> allows the public to insure their cars for a very small amount each month without having to worry about paying an excess on their <strong>car insurance</strong> and also being able to keep their <strong>no claims bonus</strong> should they qualify for it.</p>

<p><strong>Scratch and Dent Insurance</strong> brings a whole new light to the <em>world of car insurance</em>. It is simpler than the average car insurance, it is much more cheaper and it covers a vast variety of <em>minor damages</em> that include, but are not limited to:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong> </strong><strong>Scratches</strong></li>
<li><strong> </strong><strong>Hail Damage</strong></li>
<li><strong></strong><strong>Runaway Trolleys</strong></li>
<li><strong></strong><strong>Dents</strong></li>
<li><strong></strong><strong>Air Conditioners</strong></li>
<li><strong></strong><strong>Windshield Damage; and much more.</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>To get a full understanding and perspective of what you will be covered for you should visit your nearest <em>scratch and dent insurer or insurance broker</em>. You should also do research online for the latest and most cost-effective deals as these show up quicker over the internet than the average broker will come to know about.</p>
<p>Your car should always be kept in mint, <strong>showroom condition</strong> because it is an <em>investment</em> that you have made and it is something that you have worked hard and long for.</p>
<p>Many people only realize the importance of <strong>scratch and dent insurance</strong> once it has become too late for them and I only hope that you will not be one of those people. <strong>Insurances</strong> in this country have become increasingly important since the crime rate has increased. Sometimes it is unfortunate that people have to go through a whole lot of hardships just to realize that car insurance could have saved them more than they knew.</p>
<p>Researching <strong>scratch and dent insurance</strong> online and having <strong>insurance companies </strong>call you back is certainly one great way of getting all the information that you need from an insurer.

<p>Sometimes you need to be very careful before you sign up for car insurance or auto insurance. You will need to question the <em>validity </em>of the company’s intentions to insure your car. You will need to understand the fine print that will inevitably come with your contract. You will need ensure that  you have all the necessary details, contact information should you need to claim and you will need to ensure that you can make the required payments properly as a <strong>lapsing payment</strong> will leave you without insurance for the period not remunerated.</p>
<p>You will need to go all out of your way asking questions, making sure you understand the why’s, where’s and what’s of your insurance. Remember that your car is a prized possession so you want to ensure that it is getting the very best attention and that, should something happen to it, you get it all back just the way you want it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The enormous advantages that the Internet has to offer have prompted <em>car</em> <em>insurance</em> <em>companies</em> to advertise their policies online. Initially, car insurance was available only through a <strong>car</strong> <strong>insurance</strong> <strong>agent</strong>. The process was tedious and time consuming and required immense paperwork and assessments. This factor alone has made a large number of people opt for online car insurance.</p>
<p><span id="more-85"></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Car</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">insurance</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">companies</span> now offer online services that have made it very easy for clients to acquire information they may need. Car insurance quotes and auto insurance claims can be obtained or filed at any time of the day. <em>Online</em> <em>car</em> <em>insurance</em> <em>helps</em> provide interactive and spontaneous customer care, rather than wait on the phone line for long periods of time. Insurance companies are using this medium to sell car insurance directly.</p>
<p><script type="text/javascript">// < ![CDATA[
 google_ad_client = "ca-pub-1580129458799088"; /* 336x280, created 6/29/09 */ google_ad_slot = "0289477569"; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280;
// ]]&gt;</script><br />
<script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" type="text/javascript">
</script></p>
<p>Opening online accounts with car insurance companies is also proving to be beneficial. In case clients misplace an insurance card it is possible to simply acquire a printout of the original copy. A car insurance online account with existing insurance providers puts an end to storing piles of insurance paperwork. Online car insurance even allows people to receive updates and file claims whenever needed.</p>
<p>Car insurance online sites have gone a step further by making the online experience easy and user friendly. Car insurance terminology and verbiage may be difficult to understand. Most car insurance online services are aiming at providing simple and understandable information. Online car insurance allows customers to learn about various types of auto insurance coverage, limits and deductibles.</p>
<p>Certain states even allow people to purchase a car <em>insurance</em> <em>policy</em> online. These methods are considered to be safe since most Web sites use secure connections. This prevents outsiders from attaining personal information about a prospective client. However, it is important to realize that car insurance online is at times only a part of the entire process. Car insurance online often complements and eases the car insurance procedure.</p>
<p>Online car insurance can also be very tricky because you wont be able to talk too someone in person. Therefore jus be sure that whenever you take an online policy you are aware of who you are taking with. Please ensure that you take it with well <em>established</em> <em>companies</em>. You can also search the net and find customer reviews of the certain insurance that you will be taking. I’m sure that this will provide great help to you in searching for the right insurance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Almost every car on the road today will need <strong>bumper painting</strong> or <em>bumper repair</em> at some point in its life cycle. The roads are a rough place, and between other <strong>drivers</strong>, <em>flying debris</em>, and <strong>typical roadside hazards</strong>, it&#8217;s a wonder that anyone gets through the day without a need for plastic bumper painting.</p>
<p><span id="more-79"></span></p>

// ]]&gt;</script><noscript><a target='_blank' href='http://www.proniit.za.net/www/delivery/ck.php?n=72e37a6'><img border='0' alt='' src='http://www.proniit.za.net/www/delivery/avw.php?zoneid=29&amp;n=72e37a6' /></a></noscript></p>
<p>1. Rear-end accidents: <strong>Rear</strong>-<strong>end</strong> <strong>accidents</strong> is the number one reason why your car might need dent repair. More than 2.5 million rear-end collisions occur every year in the world alone, and many more accidents aren&#8217;t reported to authorities. While some of these <strong>accidents</strong> cause <em>major</em> <em>damages</em>, the majority of them just leave <span style="text-decoration: underline;">minor</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">bumper</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">scratches</span> and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">dings</span>, thanks primarily to the way new cars are constructed.</p>
<p>2. Backing up: A large number of drivers hit the edges of garage doors, poles, and even toys left in the driveway when they back up. Even the best rear view mirrors can&#8217;t show everything in your path.</p>
<p>3. Parallel parking mishaps: Parallel parking is notoriously tricky, even for experienced drivers. Inadequately judging the amount of room you have to park often leads to those tiny little jolts that leave telltale bumper scratches and dents.</p>
<p>4. Rocks and dirt: While most people are aware that small rocks can chip away at a vehicle, causing a need for bumper painting, it&#8217;s also important to be wary of excessive dirt. Strong winds that carry dirt can create miniature &#8220;sandstorms&#8221; that can cause tiny damages to your car&#8217;s exterior.</p>
<p>5. Pedestrians and bicycles: A car doesn&#8217;t have to be damaged by high impacts or fast speeds in order for bumper scratches and dings to appear. People dropping keys, wayward grocery carts, bicycles misjudging distances, or even teenagers standing or jumping on a bumper can cause unsightly damages.</p>
<p>The good news is, bumper repair doesn&#8217;t have to be costly. Most of these types of accidents aren&#8217;t large enough to warrant an <em>insurance</em> <em>claim</em>, and for many <strong>drivers</strong>, the deductible on an <span style="text-decoration: underline;">insurance</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">policy</span> is actually larger than the cost of getting repairs through a reputable mobile bumper repair provider.</p>
<p>All of the above mentioned need to be seen in serious terms in that you will need <strong>insurance</strong> for them. These small scratches and dents cause the car to like very bad. These dents can therefore be dealt and sorted out by the insurance.</p>
