Car insurance is a mandate in India as per the Indian Motor Act. However, it needs to be noted that only third-party insurance is compulsory. To choose the most suitable motor insurance based on your requirements it’s important to first know the types of car insurance provided by insurance companies. What is this third-party insurance? Let’s go through the three broad categories of motor insurance in India to understand this:

Comprehensive Insurance: A comprehensive insurance not only provides the coverage of third-party insurance but it also provides protection for your own vehicle. It is the most extensive coverage that you can wish for and is highly recommended by us.
