In Puerto Rico, owning a car is not a luxury but a necessity. Cities, towns, and neighborhoods are designed so that we almost always rely on cars for everything: taking children to school, going to work or university, running errands, or visiting family and friends. However, every time you hit the road, you face risks that can impact your vehicle and finances.
Common Road Risks
One of the most common risks is accidents, such as collisions or pedestrian-related incidents, which can damage both your vehicle and that of another driver, as well as property or legal responsibility to other individuals. Secondly, there is the risk of car theft or vandalism, which includes intentional damage such as scratching the paint, breaking windows, deflating tires, smashing mirrors, or damaging other parts of the car. A third common risk in Puerto Rico is flooding. When heavy rain occurs, if your car is parked in a vulnerable area, it may fill with water and suffer damage—often irreparably.
The Importance of Car Insurance
Proper car insurance is crucial for protecting your capital, investment, and peace of mind. More than just an expense, insurance is a safeguard against unexpected losses and legal responsibility to third parties. Before choosing a policy, there are two key decisions to make: what type of insurance and/or coverage you need and which insurer is best for you.
How to Choose the Best Insurance Company
According to José Del Amo, president of Triple-S Propiedad, when selecting an insurance provider, there are three important factors to consider:
- Trust: Look for a company with a good reputation and experience that will support you when you need it.
- Accessibility: Having nearby offices and efficient service can make a difference in critical moments.
- Technology : Digital tools make processes such as claims, payments, insurance certifications, and inquiries easier, saving you time and effort.
Coverage Options You Should Know
Car insurance offers various types of coverage. The most common ones include:
- Liability Coverage: Protects against legal damages to third parties in case of an accident.
- Physical Damage Coverage: This is divided into “Comprehensive” (covers theft, vandalism, or damage from natural disasters) and “Collision” (covers damage from crashes or rollovers).
You can choose to obtain these coverages separately or combine them based on your needs. The important thing is to fully understand your options to ensure your car is properly protected.
