What Is Motor Insurance?
Motor Insurance provides financial protection against specified risks involving cars, motorcycles, scooters, commercial vehicles and other eligible vehicles. Depending on the policy, it can cover third-party liabilities, accidental damage, theft, fire and natural disasters.
In India, valid Third-Party Motor Insurance is compulsory for vehicles used on public roads under the Motor Vehicles Act. However, it does not cover damage to your own vehicle.
For broader protection, vehicle owners can choose Comprehensive Motor Insurance, which combines third-party liability with own-damage coverage. Optional benefits such as Zero Depreciation, Engine Protection and Roadside Assistance may also be available.
At Niraj Shinde – Insurance Expert, Mumbai, we help individuals and businesses understand Motor Insurance coverage, premiums, exclusions and renewal requirements.
