What types of insurance should be purchased for a vehicle?

[SanAdriana]

Insurance that should be purchased for a car includes: 1. Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance: This is a mandatory insurance required by the state and must be purchased for all vehicles. 2. Third-party Commercial Liability Insurance: Since the compensation amount covered by compulsory insurance is limited, purchasing third-party insurance can provide compensation for the portion that exceeds the compulsory insurance coverage. 3. No-deductible Insurance: In the event of an accident requiring compensation, the insurance company normally covers 80% of the loss. 4. Vehicle Damage Insurance: Vehicle damage insurance is a necessary coverage that provides compensation from the insurance company for damages such as collisions, scratches, or water damage to the car.

When I got my first car, I was also confused about buying insurance. Later, I figured out some rules: compulsory traffic insurance is a must—it's required by law, and you can't skip it. I recommend getting high coverage for third-party liability insurance, as there are many luxury cars on the road these days. If you accidentally hit one, paying hundreds of thousands in compensation is common; starting with at least 1 million in coverage is safer. Comprehensive car insurance is essential for new cars—minor repairs can easily cost thousands. I also added glass insurance because stones on highways can easily shatter windows. As for theft insurance, it depends on where you park—if it's in a secure urban garage, you can skip it. Don’t overlook the no-deductible clause—it saves you money when making a claim. Finally, compare at least three insurance companies and choose a reliable one—don’t just focus on price.

After driving for over a decade, I've concluded that car insurance should be practical. Compulsory traffic insurance is mandatory—without it, you're breaking the law. Third-party liability insurance is the most crucial, and I opt for 2 million coverage, as current medical and repair costs are high, and lower amounts can't adequately cover risks. Comprehensive insurance depends on the car's age—it's worth it for new cars but could be a waste for vehicles over five years old. Other types like scratch or water damage insurance I usually skip, unless I live in an area with frequent heavy rains. I compare quotes from multiple insurers to find the best value, often finding that established brands process claims faster. Remember to regularly review and update your policy to ensure coverage keeps up with rising costs.

I travel frequently on business and often drive long distances, so I understand the importance of insurance. Basic compulsory traffic insurance is a must. Third-party liability insurance with coverage of over 1.5 million is essential for protection in case of accidents. For long-distance travel, adding water damage insurance is a must in rainy areas. Vehicle damage insurance is necessary for self-protection. Spontaneous combustion insurance is recommended during high-temperature seasons. Glass insurance is a safe investment for highways. I suggest comprehensive coverage to minimize risks and ensure peace of mind on long trips.
