The Consumer Council of Fiji is urging vehicle owners to get a valuation service done before getting any insurance cover.
Council CEO, Premila Kumar said vehicle owners should consider using the vehicle valuation service provided by the Land Transport Authority to establish the correct market value of their vehicle before considering any insurance cover.
This statement comes after a vehicle owner was involved in an accident whereby his vehicle was badly damaged and was given a write-off amount of $3,050 when he initially insured his vehicle for $18,000.
Kumar said consumers should shop around for insurance companies to get a good deal and proper coverage.
