Third Party (Property) Insurance<br />
This insurance covers any damage caused by you to ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />
person’s property (e.g. <strong>the</strong>ir car), but not your car. It is relatively<br />
inexpensive and can be arranged by individual vehicle owners<br />
directly with an insurance company of <strong>the</strong>ir choice. If your vehicle<br />
is not covered for Third Party (Property) Insurance, you may have<br />
to pay <strong>the</strong> repair costs for <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r person’s vehicle if you are<br />
responsible for a crash, and <strong>the</strong>se costs can often be very high.<br />
Comprehensive Insurance<br />
