The majority of the car customers are ignorant about the significance
of car insurance. Many just believe it to be just a legal obligation,
whereas others decide to pay no attention to it or blindly fill up some
papers which the insurance agent would hand over to them.
Car insurance is a very vital module in the process of purchasing of a vehicle. It covers up the buyer and his vehicle against any damage. It also covers any damage to the third party. In broader terms, car insurance can be of two different kinds namely comprehensive policy and the third party insurance.
In a complete comprehensive car insurance full coverage is given against any potential damage that includes dents, technical troubles, revamp, accidents and even car thefts. Hence, a new car buyer is habitually advised to make a comprehensive insurance policy. A new purchaser must see that the car indemnity plan should have a cover against the loss or spoil or damage made to the car or even its accessories due to any innate calamity like fire, any explosion, self-explosion or lightning, tremor, torrent, cyclone, tempest, gale, rainstorm, outpouring, twister, hailstorm, chill avalanche, rock slide, robbery, larceny, demonstration, wallop, wicked acts, mishaps by external means, any harm made on the vehicle.
Whereas the third party assurance proposes a restricted treatment to the automobile insurance claims are to be paid to the third party when a mishap takes place. Even then, the third-party insurance is the only assurance which is compulsory under the law. It is illegal to drive a vehicle without the third party insurance. There also prevails another kind of third party insurance which is known as the “third party-theft” insurance. In such a kind of insurance, the payment to be compensated as the premium is a little less as compared to the comprehensive insurance’s premium but the difference is that it also covers theft of the sedan under it. Yet, automobile purchaser who opts for this sort of insurance does not get any cover or claims for the repairs and other damages made on the car. Government-aided or government-owned corporations like New India Assurance, United India Insurance, General Insurance, and Oriental Insurance provide or offer the third party insurance. However there are private companies also like the Baja Allianz, ICICI Lombard; etc which also offers the third part insurance to the consumer but it doesn’t prove to be very profitable for them.
