Is PD Insurance Any Good for Car Insurance?

You need to make the right financial decisions, and car insurance is a big annual spending commitment. Choosing the right car insurer may mean hundreds of dollars’ difference in your premium, let alone after an accident. And that’s if you focus only on the figures, let alone everything else that counts. So, how do you choose the right insurance provider for you and your road warrior? ‘Is PD Insurance any good?’ you might be asking yourself.

Some simple suggestions for making the most suitable decision on car insurance are:

1. Research several car insurance providers – big and small, known and unknown, local and international
2. Read the product disclosure statements – what exactly is covered by the insurance they offer, and under what circumstances?
3. Compare the figures – discounts, policy pricing, excess/es, market value vs agreed value, etc
4. Give PD Insurance a look-in

Let’s explore the last one because we (obviously) think PD is a top-notch insurance provider you should seriously consider!

What does PD mean in car insurance?

‘What is the PD meaning in car insurance’ is easily answered. PD Insurance means Preferred Drivers Insurance (for our pet insurance it stands for Pets Deserve Insurance). We have three types of car insurance for preferred drivers: comprehensive car insurance, third party fire and theft, and third party property damage.

Insurance providers like to work with customers who are lower risk, hence them being preferred. Some drivers are safer than others due to their age, gender, driving habits and other circumstances. These risk factors are why car insurance is more expensive for young drivers, for instance.

PD Insurance knows who we want as our Preferred Drivers and we give them great premiums.

We need to make sure we have enough bandwidth to provide top notch service to our customers, to settle claims quickly and easily, and to pay our quality employees to provide quality support. Fewer claims means greater satisfaction for everyone – us and you.

Speaking of greater customer satisfaction, PD Insurance now covers roadside assistance. So we can help you out right in your moment of need. Before we move onto helping you with your car insurance claim.
