Universal Sompo Third-Party Car Insurance

While driving is an optional privilege that not many can experience in India, buying third-party car insurance is certainly mandatory in case one shares the luxury of owning a vehicle.

The Motor Vehicles Act is an important piece of legislation that has mandated opting for at least a third-party car insurance policy if you own and drive a vehicle on Indian roads.

All vehicle owners must not only drive responsibly on the roads but also carry a valid car insurance policy that will protect them and other vulnerable third parties from any unplanned accidents in the future.
