Types of insurance
Compulsory Third Party Bodily Injury Insurance
This type of insurance is paid when you pay for the registration of your vehicle. It covers injury to other people resulting from the liability of an owner, driver or passenger of the vehicle.
Third Party Property Damage Insurance
This type of insurance is not compulsory but it is recommended that every car should have it as minimum cover. Even if your car itself is not worth much money, there is still a risk that if you hit someone else’s vehicle you may be liable for expensive repairs.
Third Party Property insurance covers damage to other vehicles or property resulting when the driver of your vehicle is negligent. This type of insurance does not cover damage to your own vehicle.

Third Party Property Damage, Fire and Theft
In addition to Third Party Property Damage the insured vehicle is also covered for fire and theft.
