Who are 1st Party, 3rd party & comprehensive when we talk about insurance/takaful cover?

 Although it makes sense there is no 2nd party cover.

• 1st party refer to the driver/owner.
• 2nd party always refers to the risk taker (Insurance / Takaful company)
• 3rd party is referring to the other person(s) involved
• A comprehensive cover is a cover which covers all three parties above

Example: Ali (1st party) drove a car with a valid ABC Berhad(2nd party)  insurance cover. Hit Ahmad(3rd party) a motorcycle rider.

• Ali paid for 3rd party cover type which will only cover Ahmad’s claim due to the incident.
• Ali’s car will be covered if only Ali subscribed to Comprehensive cover.
