All Risk Insurance

2. The maximum age of the car covered is 10 years
3. Suitable for those who want comprehensive or more complete policy coverage, or for newly purchased cars.

TLO Insurance

2. The maximum age of the car covered is 15 years
3. Suitable for those who need protection with more affordable premiums or have a used car.

All Risk Car Insurance Exclusion

The Indonesian Motor Vehicle Insurance Standard Policy (PSAKBI) has also regulated a number of exceptions in all-risk car insurance. The things excluded in this all-risk insurance policy include:

1. Loss or damage to the car used to purchase driving lessons
2. Used to participate in competitions, training, hobby activities, carnivals, parades, campaigns and demonstrations.
3. Used to commit a crime
4. Users other than those listed in the policy
5. Used for embezzlement, fraud, hypnosis, and the like
6. Used for theft or malicious acts, whether committed by a husband, wife, person who works for the insured, person who lives with the insured, manager, shareholder, commissioner, or employee if the insured is a legal entity, and person who is under the supervision of the insured.

Benefits of Having All Risk Car Insurance

The all risk car insurance type does provide maximum protection for the insured vehicle. In addition, there are several other benefits that you can feel if you have this type of car insurance, such as:

1. Completely Protected Car

With all risk insurance, you don't need to worry about the risk of damage or loss that could happen to your car. This is because the size of the damage to the car is not the main factor in whether a claim is accepted or rejected. This is different from the TLO type of insurance which requires damage or loss above 75 percent.

2. Wide Coverage of Benefits

All risk insurance has a wider coverage of coverage benefits when compared to TLO. Apart from that, the coverage of comprehensive insurance benefits can also be expanded further with riders (additional benefits), so that it can protect the car from special risks, such as natural disasters, riots, and third party liability.

3. Make Mind Calm

As previously mentioned, all risk car insurance protects against various risks. This is what makes you feel calm and you don't need to worry anymore if you have this type of car insurance.

2. Not attaching complete driver documents. That's why, make sure you attach all the necessary documents, including insurance policies, policy certificates, photocopies of driving licenses, vehicle registration certificates, and photos of evidence of the incident.
