Choosing the right car insurance

There are three main types of car insurance in the Philippines: 1) Comprehensive insurance: The policyholder receives full coverage for all financial losses incurred during an accident, including accident damage and theft. This is the highest level of coverage available to motorists. 2) Third-party insurance: This policy covers death and injury to third parties, as well as other liabilities such as property damage and some legal costs. 3) Act Only liability insurance: this type of insurance provides the minimum coverage required under the law. It is the cheapest option for drivers in Pakistan and only covers the policyholders’ costs in the event that a third party is killed or injured in an accident.
