Motor Third Party Liability Insurance Premiums
Motor Third Party Liability insurance premiums are determined by the Undersecreteriat of Treasury every year. The premium amount is calculated based on the following variables.
- No claim note of your car in the past year,
- Brand and model of your car,
- Volume of traffic in the city,
- Premium amount determined for the insurance year,
- Whether the vehicle is used for commercial or personal purposes,
The main difference between premiums is caused by no-claim discounts. If you do not have any accident with your car the previous year, you will have discounted rates for your insurance. However if you are involved in an accident and the vehicle owner is found to be faulty, then no-claim discount will not be applicable for you.
