Taxi Insurance
Taxi insurance is a commercial vehicle insurance policy that offers protection to taxi/cabs in case of third-party liability, accident, natural disasters etc. For all the cab owners or drivers, it is essential to secure your vehicle and business and for this reason, it makes sense to buy a comprehensive insurance policy and not only a liability-only policy to get protection for both own damages and third-party damages.
Types of Taxi Insurance
There are two types of taxi insurance plans available in India -
- Third-Party Insurance
- Comprehensive Insurance
Let us understand the two in detail -
- Third Party Taxi Insurance - Much like third party car insurance plans, the policy is mandatory by law under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The third party taxi insurance plan will cover the cost incurred in damage/injury of third party property/person. Moreover, it also provides personal accident cover to the policyholder.
- Comprehensive Taxi Insurance - Similar to a comprehensive car insurance plan, the policy offers extensive coverage to the policyholder. Along with third-party coverage, comprehensive taxi insurance covers the vehicle against accidental damages, theft, and loss due to man-made or natural disasters. Furthermore, it also provides personal accidental cover to the policyholder. Depending on the insurer, the personal accidental coverage can be extended to the passengers, other designated drivers, and cleaners as well.
