Many things to worry about as this will be my first time buying car insurance online, I do know of other companies that have this, however, the thaiger only seems to connect me to their partners which is better as I want to see my options before buying the insurance.

In the past, I never knew what was available in Thailand for me. I always knew that type 1 car insurance is the best and nothing more than that, now that i got the information from the thaiger I will be looking for something else once I need to renew my policy.

Types of Car Insurance
You’ll probably need to consider the common forms of coverage offered on a car insurance policy, whether you’re buying a new car or shopping for auto insurance for your old car. If you are involved in a car accident, different forms of car insurance policies are available to help protect you, your passengers and your vehicle.
Make sure to read the details of the types of car insurance we offer and choose the one you need.
Type 1 Car Insurance is also known as Comprehensive Insurance. It will help you pay for claims related to non-traffic accident damage to your car. For example, if you have dents in the hood of your car, this coverage will help compensate for the repairs.
Depending on each insurance provider, Type 1 Car Insurance policies may have limitations. It would protect you up to certain limits in a wide variety of unavoidable incidents – like natural disasters, terrorist threats, and auto theft.
Key Points:
- Claims to replace your car if it’s stolen.
- Claims for repairing damage from animal collisions.
- Claims for repairing any weather, flood, or fire damage.
Also known as second-class car insurance, type 2 car insurance is almost identical to type 1 insurance. Type 2 insurance is an excellent alternative to type 1 car insurance for value-for-money. It provides similar protection to type 1 insurance. However, if you damage your own car, there is a limit to the amount insured. It also excludes any damage to your vehicle due to your own fault.
Key Points:
- Almost similar to Type 1 insurance
- There is a limit to the amount insured.
- Exclude any damage to your car due to own fault.
Type 3+ car insurance is similar to Type 2+ insurance. However, unlike type 2+ insurance, there is no coverage for events that may seem unlikely, such as natural disasters.
Type 3+ car insurance covers incidents involving other vehicles on the lane. It is ideal for experienced drivers who, for many years, have not filed claims. It excludes your policy’s self-accident component, which can significantly lower the final premium you pay.
Key Points:
- Covers incidents involving other vehicles on the lane.
- Can significantly lower the final premium you pay.

The Thaiger’s Partners
Get car insurance for a better journey.
Accidents happen all of the time in every city and on every roadway, so I think it’s an excellent investment for my family and me to get car insurance. I searched for several days and couldn’t find any better rate than the Thaiger. Not only did I find the best premium, but the whole process is also straightforward. I can say I am delighted with the service.
Top tip: Decide the kind of coverage you need and make sure you understand how the policy you choose works.
The Concept of Car Insurance in Thailand
Car insurance works on a “use it or lose it” policy, meaning that you must pay an annual fee to get the benefit. You may lose the premium amount you paid for protection if you are lucky enough not to have a severe enough accident to want a claim. On the contrary, you can get a No Claim Bonus if you never need a claim. A No Claim Bonus comes with a substantial amount, starting from 20% of the premium in the first year to 50% in the sixth year. This is why some people may advise you not to claim minor damages.
Due to these reasons, we research and collect policy data and then compare them to find the best choice for you. You can compare insurance policies online on our website. We are happy to assist you throughout the whole process. All you need to do is fill in the details needed. We will also provide insurance plans with a comparison of coverage and premiums to make it even simpler for you.
Prices for insurance premiums differ depending on the age and terms of the policy. Before purchasing, you can review information in the policy.

Car Depreciation
Your car can lose value over time. When each part of your car wears out, the value will decrease as well. Car depreciation coverage will protect you against the decrease in your car’s value due to decay or regular wear and tear of your vehicle.
Tire and Liquid in Car
This coverage covers the tires and liquid in your car. Tires covered by this policy include worn, torn, punctured or bloated tires that caused damage to other parts of your car. However, spare tires are not covered.
The liquid covered is only motor oils and base oils that need to be replaced or spilt due to an accident.
Flood Coverage
Flood is one of the natural disasters that occur seasonally in Thailand. It causes many cars to drown every year. The damage level that flood can cause ranges from light to extreme. Type 1 car insurance, the most comprehensive type of car insurance, typically include flood coverage in its policy. Some insurers also offer flood coverage in type 2 car insurance. However, type 3 car insurance usually don’t include flood coverage.
Fire and Theft
Fire and theft car insurance let you claim for damage that happens as the result of an attempted theft (such as a stolen radio or broken door locks) and fire damage to the car (whether it is accidental fire or arson). It will also replace your car if it’s stolen.
Group Car insurance
Car Insurance only covers one car, but if you have a business or an organization, you can consider group car insurance to cover your employees or members. Having group car insurance gives you many benefits. It offers discount premiums to your employees, and it may attract more members to your organization or business!
Since group car insurance is extending coverage to a larger amount of people, it can offer lower costs, allowing each individual to save money. Group car insurance may also offer other discounts, in addition to lower premiums. These can include discounts for parking in select facilities, discounts on car rentals, and even discounts for services related to your car.
Frequently Asked Questions about Car Insurance
Type 1 insurance is the most comprehensive and costly insurance, but in cases where there is no known third party and minimal damage to the car, there is a surcharge as described above. Class 1 (or any type of insurance in this respect) insurance does not cover unlikely incidents such as war and nuclear accidents. Car insurance also does not cover dangerous accidents like criminal activities or reckless driving of alcohol.
Often known as excess, deductible is a sum that you agree to pay as part of any potential insurance claim that you create.
The car owner must first pay compensation if the damage is caused by personal negligence. The insurer will pay for damage to the vehicle in the settlement. However, this depends on the insurance policy you have in the event of missing vehicles, burning, or other natural disasters.
The main difference between these car insurances in Thailand is:
Types 2 will cover other parties’ car maintenance expenses but not yours in case it is your fault. the coverage of type 2 is fire and lost as well.
Types 2+ is quite similar coverage as type 2 but it will cover both parties’ car maintenance expenses in addition.
The type 1 car insurance will cover the car which not over than 1 year. But we suggest the type 2 or 2+ car insurances for cars are age over than 1-15 years and the type 3 and 3+ for cars are age over than 15 years.
Unfortunately, you can’t change the policy during the policy period. However, You would definitely be able to change it at the time of renewal.
