What is car insurance?

Car insurance is a contractual agreement between yourself and an insurance company of your choice, which ensures that your losses are covered if something should happen to your vehicle/motorcycle.

In order for you to be insured, you need to pay monthly premiums to the insurer, as per the contractual agreement.

Why is car insurance so important?

You always hear people saying, “rather safe than sorry”. Well, this is exactly why you need car insurance. We all know that accidents happen and that’s why it’s better to be prepared for the day they do. Having proper vehicle/motorcycle insurance ensures that you can have the peace of mind that your losses will be covered should something happen to your car/motorcycle. (Please note that Terms & Conditions apply).

What are the different types of car insurance?
