Car insurance is a type of insurance that covers the financial losses or damages caused by accidents, theft, fire, natural disasters, or other risks involving a car. In Bangladesh, car insurance is mandatory for all car owners as per the Motor Vehicles Ordinance 1983. There are different types of car insurance policies available in Bangladesh, such as:
Third-party liability insurance: This is the minimum level of insurance required by law. It covers the legal liability for death, injury, or property damage to third parties caused by the insured car. However, it does not cover any damage to the insured car or its occupants.
Comprehensive insurance: This is a higher level of insurance that covers both third-party liability and own damage to the insured car and its accessories. It also covers loss or damage caused by fire, explosion, theft, riot, strike, earthquake, flood, cyclone, etc. Some comprehensive policies may also offer additional benefits such as roadside assistance, cashless claim settlement, no claim bonus, etc.
Personal accident cover: This is an optional cover that provides compensation for death or bodily injury to the driver or passengers of the insured car due to an accident. The amount of compensation depends on the extent of the injury and the amount of insurance chosen.
