Car Insurance is a mandatory rule in the vehicles act all around the world. When a new car is bought the dealer who sells the car sometimes gives free one year insurance along with the car. He does so as it looks like a free gift and that it will assure the safety of your vehicle as well. This insurance should be renewed every year to save you from unknown emergencies like road accidents. An accident can happen because it might be your fault or the other vehicles; your car will have to undergo repairs and that will cost you a lot of money. The insurance policy for your car will help you in such situations and not make a hole in your pocket.

Another reason why a person should get their vehicle insured is for their own safety. Accidents can happen anytime and anywhere. These accidents need not be done by you, they can happen because of someone else's fault as well. You may be parked on the side of the road and someone who is parking behind you may bump into your vehicle.

This is covered under the insurance and you will not have to pay from your pocket. Multiple crashes are also covered by insurance. Damages caused by major road accidents are sometimes not repairable. The car has to be declared a total loss.

If the situation explained above happens in your case, that means you bump into someone else's car then the fault is yours and you need bear the expenses from your insurance policy.

There are two types of insurances for cars, third party insurance and comprehensive insurance. The third party insurance policy will cover damages and any liability towards the other party involved in the accident by the party who is at fault. The comprehensive policy will bear the expenses of the third party damages as well as self damages.

The third party policy is one which will cover the damages of the car which was not at fault. That is it will cover any liability towards the other person. One of the two types of policies is recommended as per the track record of the driver.

The advantages of a comprehensive policy are more and one should think in this way that even if they pay a little more than a third party policy the benefits will be more in a comprehensive one.
