Compulsory Coverage
Compulsory Third Party Liability (CTPL)
This is insurance protection from liability for death or bodily injury of third parties caused by the insured vehicle accidentally resulting from fault or negligence of the owner or any authorized driver.
CTPL Insurance has also required insurance coverage for all vehicles and is mandated by the Land Transportation Office as one of the requirements for vehicle registration.
As a result, any regulated non-life insurance firm that is licensed by the Insurance Commission can provide you with CTPL insurance. CTPL insurance premiums are nearly identical among several suppliers.
CTPL insurance (Compulsory Third Party Liability) is a steal when contrasted to the problems that can arise on the road. For a one-year coverage, you’ll need to pay up to PhP1000.00 for private autos and PhP500.00 for motorcycles. Private cars can pay PhP3,000.00 for three years of coverage, while motorcycles can spend up to PhP1000.00 in reimbursable fees.
Voluntary Coverage
Basic Cover:
Extended Third Party Liability – Bodily Injury (ETPL-BI)
This provides the same benefit as CTPL except that it only covers the excess of your CTPL coverage
Extended Third Party Liability – Property Damage
This protects the assured from any third-party liability he might incur for damage to the property of others while using his vehicle
Loss or Own Damage
Pays for loss or damage to the insured’s vehicle due to an accident or external accident causes.
EXTENSIONS OF BASIC COVER
- Acts of Nature Perils
- Flood, typhoons, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and, other natural calamities.
- Riot, Strike, and Civil Commotion
- Auto Passenger Personal Accident
DEDUCTIBLE
This is the amount the owner/driver of the vehicle pays for the repair of his vehicle out of his own pocket. Some call it participation but technically deductible is an amount you pay before your vehicle’s repair.
Deductible amounts vary depending on the coverage, insurer, and premium amount. The basic rule is that if your policy has a high deductible, you will pay lower monthly or annual rates because you will be responsible for more costs before coverage begins. Higher premiums, on the other hand, usually imply lesser deductibles. The motor vehicle insurance plan kicks in significantly faster in these situations.
Here are the standard deductibles:
- Private car – 0.5% of sum insured/value, minimum of 2,000 PHP
- Commercial Vehicle – 1.0% of sum insured/value, minimum of 3,000 PHP
- Motorcycle – 1.0% of sum insured/value, minimum of 500 PHP
