Insurance in Nigeria is FRAUD. I insured my car and later had an accident that involved Kekenapep. I called my insurance and was shocked to discover the policy does not cover ANYTHING. The broker said what they do is give you document to avoid police harassment. Just imagine!! In 2017 I lost my mother and before then had paid premium for 4 years. The insurance company came up with issue of improper documentation at commencement, yet they were collecting premium on an improperly documented policy. The document for a policy sold to me by their own appointed agent. Stupid as they were, they sent me a demand notice in the new year for my mother that died the previous year without fulfilling their obligation. Insurance in Nigeria is a BIG SCAM. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON INSURANCE IN NIGERIA.

Which company was this?

OP, a Car tracker is NEVER waste!!!!
In fact a tracker WILL help reduce your insurance premium. Before an insurance company calculate your cost, they would like to know how secure your Car is.
I wonder. They are not mutually exclusive.
Serious insurance companies will even include installing a tracker device in your car as part of the package if you don't already have one.

You can do both actually. The insurance company installs a car tracker for you(they work in hand with security companies now) and minus that from the premium you will pay.

You could go for Consolidated Hallmark Insurance, they pay claims when they emanate
Re: 5 Reasons Why Car Insurance Is Better Than Car Tracker by AerialMapper: 8:24am On Feb 13, 2020
Most comprehensive car insurance providers will actually insist that the car must have a tracker, the absence of which could void any claims

They will first try to recover for vehicle before paying out any claims and a tracker helps them to do this.

Trackers also assist them in combating insurance fraud.

Secondly, this article is only relevant for comprehensive insurance and not third party because a tracker is of no use in a third party insurance which is what probably 80% of the cars on the road have

Therefore Third party insurance is not better than a tracker and a tracker may be a prerequisite to getting a comprehensive cover

The first question you need to ask is " what kind of policy can I buy?"
We have three basic policies under motor Insurance
1: Third party only
2: Third party, fire and theft
3: Comprehensive; A premium of 10% of the value of the car is charged. However the following discounts may apply:
Vehicles value of 1M and above attract 50% discount

Insurance is no scam in Nigeria, as has been said there are classes of insurance you can get for your car, house, business facility, life e.t.c

For reliability and best claims use cornerstone insurance also flexibility in percentage required to pay for your premiums.

For inquiries check my signature for number.

Every one here would agree that the best insurance is bendel insurance.
Below are some of its numerous benefits
1. Steal car at gunpoint. Robbers will turn to your driver. Drop you home and help you carry your bags to your doorstep. They then drive themselves to the police station and report themselves.
2. Car stolen when parked.
Option a. Robber after opening car will turn to washer man. Will wash seat plus engine even under the car. And then wait for you to arrest him.
Option B. Remote tracker. Bees will sting the robber till he return the car to the very spot it was stolen.
3.in case of accident when car tumbles you suddenly find yourself at the other side of the road seated watching the damage from afar. You Don turn breeze.
4. Accident caused by someone else he must buy new car or repair the whole car till its nearly new.
Price.... Yearly subscription 500 naira. Lifetime subscription 1200 with two eggs and one white fowl

The importance of insurance can not be over emphasized....
I have been insuring my car for over 7 years now, about 80k per year.
My first 3 years, nothing happened.

However in the 4th year I had a very bad accident, my car was seriously damaged. I got over 400k from my insurance company to fix the and bring it back to life....

No body is praying an accident or theft.. If it happens ... You are covered..



Which insurance firm?

Both tracker and insurance are designed to complement each other. Comparing both is missing the point.
At some point, car owners were advised to use steering locks in Britain.

For me, I do the things stated below.
1) I installed an alarm system because of petty thieves who may want to break the glass to steal. In case you are trying to force you way in, the alarm will sound. The alarm system also has a fuel demobilizer. In case the key fob is not used, the car won't start.
2) I installed fuel cut ( 5 minutes) in a hidden place. When the door is opened and the device is not pressed, the car will stop after 5 minutes.
3) When the car is parked I use the steering lock to lock the steering.
4) I bought a good tracker which I intend to install soon.
5) I did comprehensive insurance with Consolidated Hallmark Insurance. The rate being 3% of the car cost.
6) I have a habit of removing the car documents the moment I step out of the car.
7) I pray for God's protection.

The insurance company paid 5 days after I had a minor accident to the tune that I gave them last year.
It is also advisable to use a good broker when dealing with an insurance company. I pay for my insurance on a tri-quarter basis. That is every four months.

Good day house, I have been reading alot of argument about insurance polices and claim payment. I will like to chip in this 2 information that is very key to buying insurance policies.
1. You can either buy your a insurance policies through a registered insurance brokers; Reason is that they serve as an intermediary between you(insured) and the insurer(insurance companies) so they know which company is good and pay claims promptly(most of those marketers are driven by Target and they will not tell you the company they are working with is having challenges). They also help you to pursue your claims and make sure it is paid incase of any eventuality with no cost
2. If you are buying your policy without a broker aside your insurance certificate ask for the insurace policy document, read through and make sure you understand the terms and clauses ( all these clauses and terms comes to play during payment of claims.i.e reductions on figures presented for claims)
