Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Car Insurance in East Africa
1. What is Third-Party Only (TPO) Car Insurance?
TPO is the most basic and affordable type of motor insurance. It covers damage or injury you cause to other people, their property, or their vehicles. However, it does not cover damage to your own car. In Kenya, TPO is the minimum legal requirement for all motorists.
2. How much does car insurance cost in Kenya?
- Private Car TPO: From KSh. 4,560
- Commercial Vehicle TPO: From KSh. 5,063
- PSV Taxi TPO: From KSh. 7,574
- Comprehensive Cover: From 3% of the car’s value
Final prices depend on the insurer, the vehicle’s use, and any optional add-ons like COMESA cover.
3. What does Comprehensive Car Insurance cover?
Comprehensive cover is the highest level of protection. It includes:
- Damage to your own vehicle (accidents, fire, theft, vandalism)
- Third-party liability (injuries & property damage)
- Optional extras like windscreen, political violence, floods, and personal accident covers
4. What is the COMESA Yellow Card?
The COMESA Yellow Card is a regional insurance policy that allows you to drive across East and Central Africa with one single cover. It protects you against:
- Third-party liability in member countries
- Medical expenses after an accident
- Property damage and bodily injury
It saves you the hassle of buying different policies when traveling across borders.
