What is car insurance?
Motor insurance is the financial assistance provided to the owner of the vehicle/third party in case of any damage to the vehicle or third party due to the vehicle as per the Insurance Company Act. Third party or third party motor insurance is a statutory requirement for all car owners. Because, if the use of a car in a public place causes damage to a third party, then the owner of the car is responsible for that. So driving without motor insurance in public places is a legally punishable offence.
Comprehensive Insurance
In a first party or comprehensive insurance policy, the insurance company indemnifies the car owner. Under this policy, if a car is involved in an accident, then the insurance companies pay compensation for any damage to the car or the owner of the car arising out of the accident. Besides, if the vehicle is damaged due to any natural calamity, but the vehicle is damaged under the first party, the owner of the vehicle is compensated for the damage to the vehicle. The premium rate of this policy is relatively high.
If a car is only covered under third party insurance policy, then if the car is damaged due to any reason or accident then no compensation is given to the car owner for the damage to the car. The insurance company will take responsibility for the damage caused to any third party by the vehicle.
What does a car insurance policy cover?
