What does each type of car insurance include?

Car insurance in Thailand is divided into 5 main levels: Type 1, 2, 2+, 3 and 3+, each with different coverage, as follows👇

1️⃣ Type 1 car insurance (full Premium coverage) 💎

Suitable for: New cars, luxury cars, or people who want maximum coverage
Coverage:
✅ Covers both your own car and other people's cars (damage from accidents, fire, flood)
✅ Covers theft and fire
✅ Medical expenses for those injured (both driver and passengers)
✅ Personal damages (other party)
✅ 24-hour emergency assistance

💡 Pros: Comprehensive coverage, no worries about damage costs
⚠️ Cons: High premiums

2️⃣ Type 2 car insurance (basic cover for cars in regular use) 🚙

Tips from a professional for choosing good-value car insurance!

1️⃣ Focus on the “car's value” New cars should have Type 1; cars 5 years or older may choose Type 3+
2️⃣ Check the “claim conditions” Some companies are cheap but hard to claim from!
3️⃣ Compare several companies For example, OMC Broker helps you compare for free
4️⃣ Don't look only at price After-sales service matters a lot when problems arise
5️⃣ Take advantage of promotions such as a 15% premium discount for new customers
