    1. Third Party Liability Motor Insurance is nothing but the coverage guaranteed to the third party only i.e. Damage to another person’s vehicle or property, bodily injuries and permanent disability during an accident by your vehicle. It is a mandatory over as per the law. We wouldn’t recommend you to buy this basic third-party insurance if you really love your vehicle from the bottom your heart. This type of coverage is best for people who think motor insurance is mandatory and buy this type just for the heck of it.
    2. Comprehensive Motor Insurance is an optional coverage and thus is not mandatory. This type of motor insurance provides coverage for third-party and also for your vehicle. It is best for those who want to cover the losses due to the accidents and also to recover losses due to theft and natural disasters, and not for those who take car insurance merely as a mandatory clause.
