3 min read

The first automobile insurance policy was issued in 1897. More than 125 years later, the central idea remains protection from financial loss.

Third-party cover pays for covered liabilities involving another person or their property. In India, third-party motor insurance is legally required.

Own Damage Insurance

Own damage cover protects your vehicle against covered accidental damage and other risks specified in the policy.

  • Your vehicle → Own Damage
  • Broader combined protection → Comprehensive
