Frequently Asked Questions
What is third-party car insurance?
Third-party insurance covers your legal liability when you cause damage to another person's property or injure them in an accident. It does not cover repairs to your own vehicle — only the other party's claim against you.
Is third-party car insurance enough for an older vehicle?
For low-value vehicles where the cost of comprehensive cover exceeds the vehicle's market value, third-party cover can be a practical choice. However, you remain personally liable for your own repair costs.
Can I upgrade from third-party to comprehensive?
Yes. Most insurers allow policy upgrades. You may need to undergo a vehicle inspection or re-assessment before comprehensive cover is activated.
