What is pay-monthly car insurance?
Most traditional pay-monthly insurance policies are credit agreements. In other words, you split the total cost of an annual policy over 12 months. This means you end up paying lots of interest. With some insurers, the APR is almost 40%.
While pay-monthly insurance might sound flexible, it’s actually just a sneaky way that some insurers charge even more for an annual policy. It could be a better option to instead take out a short term car insurance policy whenever you need to borrow a car.
