New Delhi [India], March 28: From having essential documents like a car insurance copy and vehicle registration certificate to going for regular car maintenance, car ownership comes with many responsibilities. In India, it is in fact mandatory to have at least a third-party car insurance to drive legally and avoid getting fined. So, if you too have been planning to buy a new car insurance plan to adhere to motor laws, then you should know about the different types of car insurance. There are basically three types of car insurance: Comprehensive, Third-party, and Standalone Own-damage Car Insurance. In the section below, we will talk about the differences between third-party and comprehensive car insurance.
Defining Third-party Car insurance
Third-party car insurance is mandatory as per the Motor Vehicles Act of 1988. Whether you are buying a new car or bike, you are bound to buy a third-party car or two wheeler insurance online respectively at the same time. A third-party car insurance, as the name suggests, provides coverage for any damage to a third-party or third-party property due to the insured car. For instance, if your car damages someone else’s car in an accident, then third-party car insurance will provide financial assistance to cover the damages to the third-party.
Some of the exclusions of third-party car insurance are as follows:
* It does not provide coverage if your is stolen or lost
* Any damage to your vehicle is uncovered
Defining Comprehensive Car Insurance
A Comprehensive Car Insurance plan provides complete coverage in case of any damage to the insured vehicle or a third party. It covers both standalone own damage and third-party damage and thus has a higher premium rate than other plans. Unlike other types of car insurance, you can also include a number of add-ons such as No Claim Bonus Protector Cover, Zero Depreciation Cover, Roadside Assistance Cover, etc, at additional premiums. Furthermore, here is a list of exclusions in Comprehensive Car Insurance:
* Normal wear and tear
