Auto Insurance Companies In Nepal
Auto insurance in Nepal is often negligent by residents. They tend to think auto insurance as unnecessary expenses more than that of helpful investment. Auto insurance provides financial support your vehicle meets into unexpected accidents. So, let us know about ‘what is auto insurance?’ and ‘why is it necessary?’
Auto insurance or motor insurance is a policy purchased by vehicle owners to mitigate costs associated with getting into an auto accident. With auto insurance, the company pays for all or most of the cost associated with an auto accident. The cost is borne by insurance companies with the premiums paid annually by the insurer. Therefore, the insurer does not have to pay for the damages out-of-pocket.
Auto insurance is an insurance policy that the insurer activates for cars, trucks, motorcycles, and other road vehicles. It is primarily used to provide financial protection against physical damage or bodily injury resulting from traffic collisions and against liability that could also arise from incidents in a vehicle.
The only thing certain in life is uncertainty. The future is full of uncertainties and one can never be certain of what the future holds for us. Even when one is sufficiently precocious and preventive, accidents and financial loss cannot be omitted at times that can result in life changing misfortune to oneself and others. Motor Insurance Policy covers motor vehicles against any loss or damage caused by accidents and your legal liability to third parties for bodily injury or property damage. Auto insurance provides protection for yourself, your vehicle, and for others in such misfortune events. It covers damage to your own vehicle, damage to another person’s vehicle, injury or death of a passenger or member of public as a result of an accident; this policy covers a crucial area of risk. One can choose between Comprehensive Motor Policy and Third Party Policy depending upon the nature of coverage desired.
