Comparison guide
IRA-mandated minimum. What third party insurance covers, what it doesn't, and where to buy it fast in Kenya.
| Decision area | What to check |
|---|---|
| Budget | Can you absorb repair or theft loss yourself, or do you want insurer-backed protection? |
| Vehicle value | Higher-value and financed cars usually justify broader cover sooner. |
| Usage | Daily commuting, commercial work, and parking environment all influence the best fit. |
Start with the legal minimum cover, what risks you actually want protected, and how much of the loss you could absorb yourself if the car is damaged or stolen.
Older low-value cars often lean toward third party because comprehensive premiums can become hard to justify. Newer, financed, or higher-value vehicles usually need broader protection, especially when lenders require it.
