It pays the third party back for any property loss, physical harm, or unintentional death.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 24px;\">What is a Comprehensive Car Insurance Policy?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A comprehensive <a href=\"https:\/\/elephant.in\/motor-insurance\/car-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">car insurance policy<\/a> protects the insured against both third-party liabilities and their own damages. \u00a0Since it protects you financially from any damages that may occur unrelated to a collision, it is sometimes known as &#8220;other than collision&#8221; or &#8220;own-damage&#8221; car insurance. Any unanticipated events, including accidents, fires, thefts, and natural disasters, are covered by a comprehensive car insurance policy.\u00a0Thus, both the insured and the third party are covered.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 24px;\">The Advantages Of Purchasing Comprehensive Car Insurance<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Any unanticipated occurrence, except collision, is covered by a comprehensive <a href=\"https:\/\/elephant.in\/motor-insurance\/car-insurance\">auto insurance policy<\/a>. It also provides coverage for losses sustained in an accident. Here are some of the many additional advantages of this &#8220;other than collision&#8221; cover:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>It offers your vehicle the finest degree of protection possible<\/li>\n<li>With comprehensive automobile insurance, you may claim damages suffered in such circumstances even if you were at fault in an accident<\/li>\n<li>It covers claims made against you in court, including legal costs, as a consequence of an accident<\/li>\n<li>Financial security and peace of mind<\/li>\n<li>Financial aid if your car is written off<\/li>\n<li>In contrast to third-party insurance, it protects against damage to your own vehicle during an accident<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 24px;\">What Is Covered by Comprehensive Insurance?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Comprehensive car insurance covers the 3 following things:<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 18px;\">1. Third-Party Liability<\/h3>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>Damages caused to the property of the third party.<\/li>\n<li>Death or injuries caused to the third party.<\/li>\n<li>Death of the insured vehicle\u2019s owner.<\/li>\n<li>At an additional premium, the demise of the insured vehicle\u2019s driver is also covered.<\/li>\n<li>At an additional premium, the demise of the passengers travelling in the insured vehicle is also covered.<\/li>\n<li>At an additional premium, the permanent total disability of the insured vehicle\u2019s owner, passengers, and the driver is also covered.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 18px;\">2. Own Damage<\/h3>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>Natural disasters like storms, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes,\u00a0 etc.<\/li>\n<li>Damage suffered in an accident involving the insured vehicle.<\/li>\n<li>Terrorism<\/li>\n<li>Explosions, fire, and civil commotions<\/li>\n<li>Falling objects<\/li>\n<li>Stealing and damage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 18px;\">3. Personal Accident Cover<\/h3>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>Death of the life insured<\/li>\n<li>Loss of two limbs, loss of vision in both eyes, loss of one limb, or loss of one eye.<\/li>\n<li>Permanent disability due to injuries other than those already mentioned.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 24px;\">What are the\u00a0Exclusions of\u00a0Comprehensive Insurance?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If an accident causes damage to your automobile, you cannot file a compensation claim without having comprehensive coverage at the time of the accident. Similarly, several items are not covered by comprehensive auto insurance:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>Depreciation<\/li>\n<li>Natural deterioration of the\u00a0vehicle (wear and tear)<\/li>\n<li>Mechanical or electrical failure<\/li>\n<li>Damages to the car resulting from a driver driving without a legal license<\/li>\n<li>Damage brought on by drunk driving<\/li>\n<li>Damage incurred from intoxicated driving (under the influence of drugs)<\/li>\n<li>Independent tire and tube damage (not due to a covered collision)<\/li>\n<li>Vehicle loss or damage caused by mutiny, war, or nuclear risk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 24px;\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">There is no doubt that a comprehensive car insurance policy typically offers broader coverage. However, Please note that each policy is unique, and you must read it thoroughly to understand the inclusions and exclusions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In case of queries, feel free to write us at support@elephant.in or call at 1800 266 9693.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mainly, there are two kinds of car insurance policies \u2013 Third Party Liability Coverage and Comprehensive Coverage.
