Motor insurance (also known as vehicle / car / auto insurance) is insurance purchased for cars, trucks, and other road vehicles. Its primary objective is to provide protection against physical damage resulting from traffic collisions and against liability that could also arise there-from.

Motor insurance in India covers for the loss or damage caused to the automobile or its parts due to natural and man-made calamities. It provides accident cover for individual owners of the vehicle while driving and also for passengers and third party legal liability.

Why Motor Insurance? Motor Insurance(Third Party) is compulsory on purchase of new vehicles whether acquired for commercial or private usage as per Motor Vehicle Act in India. One can be penalised for driving without a valid cover.

An accident can happen to anyone even if the driver of the car is not at fault. This may result into a lot of damages caused in person as well as to the car. Motor Insurance turns to be very beneficial under such circumstances.

If the driver is liable for an accident which results in bodily injuries to a third party, then the expenses have to be borne by the owner of the car. In such a case third party motor insurance saves from a devastating financial blow.
