Motor vehicle insurance covers damages and losses against your vehicle. Coverages are based on the plans and add-on coverages added to the policy. As third-party liability in motor vehicle insurance is mandatory by the IRDAI (Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India), it protects from financial devastation at the time of third-party claims.
