Motor Insurance is a protection against losses which arise due to legal claims made by a third party in case of an accident caused by you or losses which arise as a result of manmade/natural calamity to you, your vehicle and co-passengers.
Motor insurance is an insurance purchased by the owner of a mechanically propelled vehicle to cover losses due to accidental damage, fire or theft as well as death or bodily injuries sustained as a result of an accident arising out of the use of the vehicle on a road. It is a legislative requirement under the Ghana Road Traffic Act 1958 for all vehicle owners to have an insurance policy that covers their legal liability for injury and /or death to third parties.
You must tell your insurer everything that is relevant to your insurance. If you don’t, then you risk having your policy getting void or being left out without cover. insurers need to know all your details, your driving history, car user, car details and location.
Insurance is provided on an utmost good faith; hence, the insured is liable for any information provided to the insurance company. It is therefore necessary to declare any relevant information in respect of the cover being requested, usually by means of Proposal Forms. This will include ones personal details, vehicle details and driving history. Any incorrect information provided by insurer’s may render the policy defective and may result in inability to make a successful claim.
Deductibles serve several functions.
Insurance companies work with different statistics and use different methods to calculate premiums. Some companies are specialized in certain areas or types and so are prepared to give discounts in those areas. This adds to the complexity as various companies yield varied prices.
Premiums are quoted based on the risk being insured. The greater the risk, the higher the premium quoted. Hence, depending on the cover being provided, different insurers may assess the same risk differently and thus the differences in premiums between different insurance companies. Insurance premiums are also computed on basic, with Loadings and discounts. Premiums are likely to be the same for classes of business subject to Tariffs.

Our Customs Bonds provide guarantee to the Republic of Ghana (through GHANA REVENUE AUTHORITY – CUSTOMS DIVISION who are the collecting agent), that an importer/exporter would pay all duties due on the imported/exported goods. We provide various types of Customs Bonds and notable among them are Warehouse or Security, Removal, Transit, Exportation Bonds and Customs House Agent.
In some instances, you as an importer may request that you be allowed to put your imported goods on which duties have not been paid, at specified Bonded warehouse(s) and pay the duty involved at a later date.

Your company may import goods into the country for a fixed period of time and there may be the need to re-export such goods to their final destination. As you may be aware, all goods imported into the country have to be taxed, and where the goods are not re-exported, it would mean loss of revenue to the State. Our Temporary Importation Bond guarantees to pay to the State the revenue lost as a result but up to the Bond amount.
Our Re-Exportation Bond provides a guarantee for our numerous clients who may re-export imported goods to other countries or import goods for use in the country when they visit, with the intention that such would be sent back. The Bond guarantees for the tax element on goods-in-transit especially from the neighbouring countries through Ghana.
Our clients may import goods into the country and then transport such imported goods for which duties have not been paid, from one point in Ghana. Where the importer does not transport the goods but sells them, the unpaid duty becomes revenue lost to the State. Our Transit Bond guarantees to pay the revenue lost but up to the Bond amount if our client fails to transport the imported goods to the neighbouring country.

Where you fail to export such goods and rather sell them locally, the State loses the sales tax duty payable on the goods. Glico General’s Exportation Bond guarantees to pay the sales tax duty to GHANA REVENUE AUTHORITY – CUSTOMS DIVISION if you fail to export the goods and instead sell them locally.
Customs Clearing Agents, in the course of discharging their duties, may misconduct themselves in such a manner that could result in the State losing revenue in terms of customs duty.
