Third-party car insurance - The most common type of car insurance for keeping your commercial and personal vehicles insured is third-party car insurance. Third-party generally refers to any expenses you may face in the process of having your work vehicle repaired. This includes any repair shops and ensuing fixes. Third-party car insurance also offers protection for theft or fire damage –all very real risks for cars being used exclusively for business.

Comprehensive commercial car insurance - When not in use, parked, or in storage, there is a lot that can happen to your work vehicle(s). There are often weather and criminal hazards like storms, lightning, earthquakes, floods, theft, and vandalism that can severely compromise the vehicle(s) your business depends on.

The exact cost will depend on factors such as yourself, the vehicle(s) being used for work, and the driving records of any other employees acting as drivers. The good news is that there are plenty of ways you can get free quotes from multiple commercial insurers in Ghana that fit your business just right.
