Types of Car Insurance - whats the difference

  • Compulsory third party (AKA CTP / green slip insurance) is the minimal cover that every car must have by law. It provides essential cover against claims for compensation if you injure or kill someone in a motor accident.

    If you don't think your car is not worth much you may wish to take out compulsory 3rd party insurance only. Keep in mind that it doesn't cover you for damage caused to other people's property such as if you're unlucky enough to run into a Ferarri.

  • Third party property is the least expensive option. It covers you for the damage you may cause to another car and may include limited cover for damage caused to your car by an uninsured driver.

  • Third party property, fire and theft also covers you if your car is stolen or burnt.

  • Comprehensive car insurance is the best cover option but also the most expensive. It includes the cost of crash repairs or replacing your car, even if you're at fault.
