How many types of car insurance are there for purchase?
1 Answers
Car insurance consists of two main parts: compulsory traffic insurance and commercial insurance. Commercial insurance further includes basic insurance and additional insurance. Below is relevant information about car insurance: 1. Compulsory Traffic Insurance: This is a mandatory national insurance that every car owner must purchase. If you drive without compulsory traffic insurance, once caught, your vehicle will be impounded (until you obtain the insurance and place it in the designated location), and you will face fines and penalty points. Compulsory traffic insurance primarily covers personal injury and property damage to victims (excluding passengers in the insured vehicle and the policyholder) in traffic accidents, with a maximum compensation limit of generally 122,000 yuan. The coverage of compulsory traffic insurance is limited and cannot handle large-scale personal injury accidents, hence the need for supplementary commercial car insurance. 2. Commercial Car Insurance: Commercial car insurance includes basic insurance and additional insurance. Basic insurance includes: vehicle damage insurance, third-party liability insurance, and passenger liability insurance. Common additional insurances are: theft insurance, standalone glass breakage insurance, spontaneous combustion insurance, new equipment loss insurance, scratch insurance, water damage insurance, no-deductible insurance, and third-party special agreement insurance for motor vehicle loss when the third party cannot be found.
