Today, we will be talking about some Vehicle insurance companies in Ghana, but let first try to explain what insurance is before we dive deep into the article’s main aim.
What Is Insurance?
When we say insurance, it simply means a contract in which an individual or entity receives financial protection or compensation from an insurance firm in the form of a policy. The firm pooled the risks of its clients to make payments more reasonable to the insured.
Insurance policies are used to protect against the possibility of large and small financial losses resulting from damage to the insured’s property or liability for damage or injury to a third party.
Now let’s move on to what Vehicle insurance means.
Motor insurance is a type of insurance that protects the policyholder if the insured vehicle suffers financial losses due to an accident or other damage. A comprehensive car insurance coverage pays for damages to third parties and their property and compensates for personal losses.
It is mandatory to acquire motor insurance before driving your vehicle on the roads, according to Section 146 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.
The price of your automobile is a major factor. To verify the cost, most insurance companies will need proof of purchase. Insurance companies charge higher premiums on cars driven by young people since they are more likely to be involved in traffic accidents due to their inexperience and irresponsible lives.
On the other hand, private car owners can expect to pay GH 471/year for the bare minimum of insurance coverage required by law – third-party insurance. Taxis and Trotros are set to pay GH 576 and GH 586 for the same time, respectively.

STAR INSURANCE
STAR INSURANCE provides three types of vehicle insurance policies which are:
Third-Party Only (TPO) – This is the minimal legal requirement for automobiles to be driven on public roads insurance. Only third-party loss, damage, or injury is covered by TPO insurance.
Third-Party Fire and Theft (TPFT) – TPFT pays compensation in the event of theft or fire of cars under the motor trader’s custody or control, as well as third-party property damage or injury claims. This is especially important if automobiles are stolen and set on fire. TPFT insurance is no longer much more expensive than Comprehensive insurance.
A Comprehensive policy – The same coverage as TPO and TPFT is included in Comprehensive insurance and accidental damage to the cars that the trader owns or is responsible for. As a result, if a customer’s vehicle is damaged in an accident while being tested, Comprehensive coverage will pay the repair costs.
