What it is

The morning after an accident, the type of cover you bought decides who pays.

Comprehensive insurance pays to fix or replace your own car after a crash, a fire, or a theft, on top of what you owe the other party. Third-party stops at the other person's car, so if your bonnet is folded in, that bill lands on you.

Most owners in Nigeria carry only third-party because it is cheap and it ticks the legal box. That is fine until the day someone runs into you and drives off, or the car is lifted from your compound at night. We arrange the real cover, place it with an underwriter who actually pays out, and a verified Otrac tracker on the car brings the premium down.

Here is what you get when Otrac handles the cover.

Your own car is covered

Damage to your vehicle, theft, fire and accident all sit inside comprehensive cover. Third-party leaves your car out, which is where the pain usually is.

The tracker discount

A car an insurer can locate and recover is a safer bet for them. Fit a verified Otrac tracker and the premium can drop by up to 10 percent.

We do the paperwork and the claim

We handle the forms with the underwriter and stay with you if you have to claim, so you are not chasing a stranger on the phone the week your car is off the road.

How it works

From a WhatsApp message to a policy in your name.

Send us the car

Message the make, model, year and rough value, plus your city. We come back with a quote from the underwriter, usually the same day.

We place the cover

You pick the quote, we set it up with the underwriter, and if a tracker is on the car we apply the discount to the premium.

Papers sorted

We handle the forms and get the policy document into your hands, so the cover is real and in your name, not a promise on a receipt.

Claims support when you need it

If something happens, you message us. We tell you what the underwriter needs and stay on the claim with you until it is settled.

What's included

What comprehensive cover puts behind your car.

One policy, arranged properly, that stands up on the day you actually need it.

Damage to your own car

Repairs after a crash come out of the policy, not your pocket, whoever caused it.

Theft cover

If the car is stolen, you are paid its value, and a tracker gives the insurer a real chance to recover it.

Fire and accident

Fire, collision and the events that write a car off are all inside the cover, not carved out.

Third-party liability

The other party's car and injuries are covered too, so comprehensive does everything third-party does and more.

Tracker discount applied

A verified Otrac tracker on the car brings the premium down by up to 10 percent with the underwriter.

A person on the claim

We sort the paperwork and stay with your claim, so you talk to us on WhatsApp, not a call queue.

FAQ

Comprehensive insurance, answered.

What does comprehensive insurance actually cover?
It pays for damage to your own car as well as the other party's, and it covers theft, fire and accident. Third-party only pays for the harm you cause someone else, so your own car is on you.
How much does a tracker knock off the premium?
A verified Otrac tracker can bring the premium down by up to 10 percent, depending on the insurer, because a car that can be found is a lower risk to cover.
How do I make a claim?
Message us on WhatsApp with what happened. We walk you through the forms, tell you what the underwriter needs, and stay on it with you until the claim is settled.
What documents do you need for a quote?
The make, model and year of the car, its rough value, and your city. That is enough to get a quote back from the underwriter, usually inside a day.
Does Otrac charge a fee for the insurance?
No. You pay the underwriter directly for the cover. We arrange it, sort the paperwork and help with any claim, at no extra charge to you.

Tell us the car. We will quote the cover and sort it this week.

Send the make, model, year and your city on WhatsApp, and we will do the rest.
