Why do I need car insurance type 1?

The biggest reason why you should consider getting car insurance type 1 is that it covers any type of accident, whether it’s between a third party or not. The damage caused by vandals will also be covered, including cases of “hit and run”. It also offers 0% instalment plans or a one-time payment. You have the choice of having your car fixed at your own dealer or one of our network garages. Emergency roadside assistance will also be provided 24 hours a day.

On the other hand, type 2 car insurance, if you have a car accident that isn’t caused by another vehicle, you will not be covered. For example, if your car collides with something else, such as a tree, you will be fully responsible for the damage to your vehicle. It also does not cover any windscreen damage and has no 24-hour emergency roadside assistance. These are the primary differences between type 1 and type 2 car insurance; therefore, if you are more prone to making mistakes while driving, type 1 car insurance may be more appropriate for you.

Type 1 Car Insurance Exclusions

Not having a driver’s license, drunk driving, illegal driver, using your car as a taxi or moving vehicle, fleeing the scene of an accident, are all common exclusions that any car insurance provider can deny your claim for. The exclusion can vary from one insurer to the next. Be sure you read your premium before making the purchase.


Driver’s License

Insurers will not cover drivers who do not have a valid driver’s license.

Drunk Driving

A person with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of more than 50mg is considered drunk under Thai law. It not only results in insurance claims being denied, but it also carries the risk of being fined and imprisoned.

Unauthorized Driver

This varies depending on the insurance package. Some packages may cover any driver as long as he or she has a valid driver’s license and is not inebriated, while others may only cover a single driver.

Incorrect Purpose

If you drive a car in an unsafe manner, some insurance companies may refuse to cover you. This includes transporting more passengers than the vehicle is capable of, using a personal vehicle to transport goods or move, and installing NGV or LPG gas systems without prior notice.

Leaving the Scene of an Accident

The insurance company will not cover costs if you cause the accident and flee the scene. This is a crime in Thailand, and you will be prosecuted.

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 family 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 Type 1 Car Insurance

Multi-car insurance helps you to insure several cars with a single insurer under one scheme. You’ll get all of the benefits of a regular auto insurance policy, plus a discount on each new vehicle you add.

No, there can only be one policy per car. However, if more than one person will be driving the car, extra add-ons are available for people that can be added to the policy.

Although adding a second car to your policy can increase your premiums, it is typically more cost-effective than keeping separate policies for each car and paying multiple premiums. For insuring several cars on the same policy, many major auto insurance providers offer multi-car discounts.

Usually, yes. Your car insurance coverage should extend to anyone else driving your car. This means even if your friend, sister or cousin have the best coverage possible, it would usually be your auto insurance that’d be covering the damages if they were at-fault in an accident while driving your vehicle.

Here are a few things to keep in mind when purchasing your insurance:

Don’t assume any one company is the cheapest.
Don’t ignore local and regional insurers.
Ask about discounts.
Work on your credit.
Skip comprehensive and collision coverage for an older car.
Raise your deductible.
Consider usage-based or pay-per-mile insurance.

Older cars are cheaper to insure main because they are less valuable, so an insurer won’t have to pay out as much in the event of a total loss. You can drop these parts of your insurance altogether and save money. But a car’s age actually has less of an impact on insurance premiums than its make and model.
