Tailor your insurance premiums to fit your budget through the regular payment plan

They offer a convenient regular payment plan that allows you to pay your insurance premiums in instalments, providing flexibility and improved cash flow management.

With this option, you can select your preferred payment frequency, whether it be monthly or fortnightly, tailored to your specific needs. For businesses, the regular payment plan offers the added convenience of consolidating multiple commercial insurance policies into one easy monthly payment.

Moreover, businesses can benefit from potential tax deductions as credit costs are generally tax deductible, and GST-registered businesses can claim the full GST back. To learn more about the regular payment plan, reach out to your Crombie Lockwood broker or obtain a quote for monthly payments.

The benefits of paying your insurance premiums in instalments

When you pay your premium in instalments, it helps you free up your cash flow by breaking down the payments into smaller, more manageable amounts rather than a lump sum upfront.

This provides you with the financial flexibility to allocate your resources elsewhere. Additionally, spreading the cost of insurance over the policy period aids in budgeting and ensures a steady and predictable financial commitment.

Costs associated with obtaining car insurance

Crombie Lockwood may ask for an administration fee depending on the services they provide, which is explained in their business terms. They might also charge a separate service fee instead of or in addition to the commission they receive from insurance companies.

These fees and expenses are determined based on the costs of providing personalised services that fit your needs and budget.

Getting your motor vehicle insurance in order

In the case of motor vehicle claims, it’s important to avoid driving flood-damaged vehicles due to potential electrical damage and contamination risks. They’ll make arrangements for the safe storage and assessment of your abandoned vehicle.

Should your vehicle be at home or a place of work, it can remain in its current location, and photos can be provided to initiate the assessment process.

To initiate a claim, you can select the relevant type of insurance and contact them to begin the process promptly. Their claims specialists will guide you through the claims process by keeping you informed at every step and advocating for a fair and prompt resolution.
