Do I need New Oxford car insurance if I am storing it in winter?

Information may not be reliable

Many of us use our cars in all weathers. However, some people do not. Some people drive their car during the winter months, while others may not drive it at all in winter. For those who do use their vehicle during the winter, it is important to get them insured for the time that they are using it. It is also a good idea to make sure that your New Oxford car insurance policy will cover you for any damage that is caused by snow and ice or if you get involved in an accident in winter weather.

Why do we need car insurance in winter?

Winter brings snow and ice and this can be hazardous for drivers on the road. If you hit black ice, you could end up in a ditch or skidding into another vehicle, or even worse – off the side of a bridge into a river below.

The cost of repairing or replacing your vehicle will be high if it has been damaged by snow, ice, or an accident and although your motor insurance policy may cover this, most policies only pay out up to £1500 for repairs to the vehicle itself rather than personal injuries to the driver and passengers.

Traction is reduced when it snows and ice forms on the roads as well as on car windows. The result could be an accident which may lead to injury or even death. That is why it is important to have car insurance in winter.

Car insurance provides protection against financial loss due to damage or theft of your vehicle. It also provides coverage for medical expenses incurred by you or others as a result of an accident caused by your vehicle. It also protects you against financial losses due to collision with a non-moving object such as a light pole or tree where no one was injured but the damage done to your vehicle was more than what you could afford to pay.

What damages are covered by car insurance in New Oxford?

Car insurance policies can vary greatly in how they handle winter damage. Coverage for such damage is an important consideration if you live in a climate where there's snow and ice.

1. Towing costs and storage fees: These are generally covered by comprehensive car storage insurance, but they're not guaranteed. You'll have to dig into the fine print of your policy to see whether your insurer will pay to tow your vehicle or store it while it's being repaired. Some insurers don't cover these costs at all.
2. Replacement car: Comprehensive policies often include this coverage, which means that if your car is damaged beyond repair, you'll be able to use money from your auto insurance company to lease a new car. If you need a replacement vehicle because of theft or vandalism, comprehensive coverage might also help you out. This pays someone to drive your vehicle to a repair shop or another location where it can be fixed or stored until repairs are complete.
3. Accident benefits: This is the medical care you receive after an accident, including ambulance services and follow-up treatment from physicians or other medical professionals. It might be provided by the injured party's own insurance agent; if it isn't, then the injured party's auto insurer will provide these accident benefits as part of its liability coverage.
4. Damage to other vehicles: Comprehensive insurance generally covers damage your car does to another vehicle in a crash — as long as that damage is above a certain amount.
