You do not have a choice when deciding whether you need or do not need car insurance. It's mandatory, and when caught without it, citizens are in deep trouble. So obviously you must take out a policy. But which policy you ask?
When taking out car insurance for the first time, the client must decide on a rate. Usually a parent will make the decision for their children. Compulsory insurance is a good place to start. It's required in most countries and forces you to pay a fairly high premium each year. It covers damages for other vehicles in the event of an accident.
Compulsory insurance is expensive, because it does not represent the replacement value, but instead takes into account the damage that may be caused to other vehicles involved in the accident and personal injury claims.
What if you are involved in an accident, but it's the other driver's fault? Then there compulsory insurance is liable to pay for the damager done to your car. In fact, insurance company's hold a lot of sway to who is responsible for the accident as well as driving age and experience.
A car owner can insure their car against damages in an accident through third party insurance. This type of insurance covers damages to your car when you are involved in an accident that only involved your vehicle. The insurance company will pay out most claims on these types of accidents after deducting the deductible from your policy.
The higher amount of deductibles you agree to pay in the event of an accident, allows you to reduce the cost of your annual insurance by more than if you had a low amount of deductibles. A "No claims" bonus is awarded to the driver every year they avoid an accident in a third party insurance policy.
Comprehensive insurance is very popular and another good coverage. It covers accidents as well as theft, making the vehicle protected under minor to major car thefts. The insurance is calculated based on the value and condition of the vehicle as well as the driver's age and where it's parked.
