Insuring The Sound Equipment In Your Car Is Sound Advice
If you have just bought yourself a new car and have splashed out on trendy accessories, one of them might be state-of-the art sound equipment to impress your friends.
In South Africa though, thieves target sound equipment. You will need to take out the proper insurance cover to protect it, as you may find yourself paying for an empty gap in your car where the sound equipment was wrenched out.
Outsurance, launched in February 1998 and are highly sought after for their world class insurance products such as their car insurances which cover all sorts of mishaps.
Specify Your Sound Equipment and Additional Accessories
If you do not specify all the extra vehicle accessories with your insurance company, you will not be provided with the necessary cover.
Yes, they will pay out for any damages incurred to your car, but if you want your insurance company to compensate you for your new sound system, they must know about it.
As soon as you have let them know about these extra accessories, they will be able to assist for damages or losses you incur such as intentional damage, acts of nature, fire or theft.
It is good to know that if you claim only on the special accessories and not on the factory fitted accessories, you only pay for the fixed vehicle accessories excess which will be much lower. Those accessories which came as standard with your car are automatically covered.

Your sound system can mean your speakers, the sub-woofers, amplifiers, tweeters, radios, the DVD players, navigation systems as well as the front loaders. If you make it known that you have factory-fitted sound equipment, you benefit from a lower vehicle excess at claim time. However, if you wish to insure non-factory fitted sound gear, tell your insurance provider so that they can add this to your car insurance.
