    Majority of the car owners in India buy car insurance policies as a formality. They generally consider lower car insurance premium. But with the lower premium, you may not get adequate protection for your vehicle. You should give car insurance policy same level of importance that you give while buying a car. There are two types of car insurance policies in India: third party car insurance and comprehensive car insurance.
