Which car insurance is compulsory to have?
As the name suggests, Compulsory Third Party (CTP) Insurance (also known as a Green Slip) is required before a vehicle can be registered and legally driven on the road. It covers your legal liability for any harm you cause to a person, this includes loved ones in the car with you, other drivers, their passengers as well as pedestrians.
As CTP requirements vary from state to state, it’s important to check which apply to you. Click on the link below to find out:
