How Motor Insurance works in Thailand

Updated: Jun 17, 2022

Compulsory Motor Insurance (CMI)

Coverage is fairly limited and may not fully protect you. You can purchase CMI from the local Department of Land Transport Office (DLT), car insurance companies and from brokers.


CMI however, covers passengers in your car and third party liability, which means injury to other drivers and their passengers, up to the limit prescribed by law. It will not pay for damage to your vehicle, loss of use and other expenses.


For peace of mind, we would recommend that you buy additional Voluntary Motor Insurance to enjoy greater protection on the often chaotic Thai streets.



Type

Coverage

Type 1 insurance

Covers Own Vehicle and Third Party Property Damage and Bodily Injury and loss due to Fire and Theft and Natural Disasters like flood. It also specifically covers collisions, accidents, Window Breakage and Towing expense.

Type 2+ insurance์

A similar cover to Type 1, but with a limit to cover on Own Vehicle Damage and excluding Own Vehicle Damage due to Self-Accident (e.g. driving into a car park wall).

Type 3+ insurance

Covers Third Party Property Damage and Excess Third Party Bodily Injury as well as limited coverage for Own Vehicle Damage due to Collisions only.
