How Much Do You Know About Car Insurance?

The Motor Vehicles Act makes it compulsory for all motor owners to get their motor vehicles insured for third party liability cover. As such if you are planning to own a car then you are required by law to get your car third party liability insured.
Yet there is much more to car insurance than only third-party liability cover.
Future Generali car insurance solution provides a total car insurance package including third party liability insurance.

Future Generali car insurance policy includes the following under its ambit:

Third party liability cover includes cover for injury, death and disability of third party or damage to property of the third party by car. The third party can be outside the car or seated inside the car.
