Basic insurances include compulsory traffic insurance, third-party liability insurance, and vehicle damage insurance. Below are the detailed introductions: 1. Compulsory Insurance: Compulsory traffic insurance is the most basic vehicle insurance, which is mandatory by national regulations. The most important part belongs to commercial insurance, and most car owners purchase vehicle damage insurance for their cars, as unexpected situations involving vehicles are relatively common. 2. Basic Insurances: Basic insurances are generally divided into vehicle damage insurance and third-party liability insurance. Third-party liability insurance covers compensation by the insurance company when the insured causes accidental injury or property loss to a third party while using the insured vehicle. Vehicle damage insurance covers losses caused by emergencies or natural disasters such as rain, snow, or hail, for which the insurance company will provide compensation.

I usually drive to and from work, and I pay quite a bit of attention to car insurance. The basic insurance mainly includes four types: The first is compulsory traffic insurance, which is mandatory by the government. In case of an accident, it covers basic medical and property damage costs for the other party, serving as a minimum safeguard. The second is vehicle damage insurance, which covers the repair costs of your own car, such as hitting a tree or getting a scratch, so you don’t have to pay out of pocket. The third is third-party liability insurance, and I recommend getting a higher coverage amount to cover high compensation costs to third parties, in case you accidentally injure someone and face big trouble. The fourth is passenger liability insurance, which protects the safety of the driver and passengers in the car, ensuring someone takes care of injuries in case of a collision. These insurance types combined don’t cost much in premiums but can save a lot of hassle, especially in cities where the accident rate is high. I check my policy annually to make sure nothing is missing.

Having driven for over twenty years, experience has taught me that the core of basic vehicle insurance consists of those four types. Compulsory traffic insurance is the foundation, ensuring the minimum compensation amount; vehicle damage insurance covers damages to your own car, covering all repair costs; third-party liability insurance handles third-party liabilities, and selecting sufficient coverage can prevent financial ruin; passenger liability insurance covers personal injuries inside the vehicle. Don't skimp on insurance to save money, or you'll face even more painful out-of-pocket expenses after an accident. I still remember a neighbor who rear-ended someone without third-party liability insurance and ended up paying tens of thousands, nearly going bankrupt. Regularly evaluating coverage and adjusting it based on the new car's value and the old car's condition is wiser.

From a practical perspective, basic vehicle insurance includes four key points: compulsory traffic insurance is mandatory and must be purchased initially; vehicle damage insurance covers your own repair costs; third-party liability insurance covers compensation to others, with high coverage being crucial; passenger liability insurance protects the owner and passengers. When choosing insurance, balance cost and safety—premiums aren't expensive, but don't skimp, or you'll be scrambling when major incidents occur. I recommend buying comprehensive insurance for new cars to save money and hassle.

To ensure driving safety, a basic vehicle insurance plan must cover four essential elements: compulsory traffic insurance handles basic liability compensation; vehicle damage insurance covers repairs for your own car's damages; third-party liability insurance addresses property and personal injury losses of others; and passenger liability insurance provides coverage for occupants inside the vehicle. Each insurance type corresponds to different risks, and lacking any one could lead to financial collapse after an accident. Combining regular vehicle condition checks with adjustments to your insurance plan can enhance overall protection.

How to Check Car Insurance?

Directly call the customer service hotline of the underwriting company, provide the identity information of the policyholder and the car owner, and let the customer service representative help you check. You can also directly use other official channels of the company, such as the official WeChat account, mobile app, or official website to inquire. Alternatively, you can bring the policyholder's valid ID card to the insurance company's service counter to inquire, but this method is relatively more troublesome.

How to Check If a Car Is Mortgaged?

Check the vehicle registration certificate. When purchasing a car, there is always a vehicle registration certificate. Examine the status on the vehicle registration certificate to see if there is a "mortgage" notation. Visit the vehicle management department for inquiries. The owner must go in person. If it is a used car, you need to go with the original owner to make the inquiry. Inquire at the insurance company. The status of the car affects the beneficiary of the car insurance. If it is a mortgage loan, the beneficiary is the bank. Check with the traffic police department. If it shows "mortgage," it means the car is a mortgaged vehicle. If it shows "normal," then it is not a mortgaged vehicle.
