What it is

The cover the law wants on your car before you turn the key.

Third-party motor insurance pays for the harm you cause someone else on the road. If you dent another person's car or hurt a pedestrian, their claim goes to your underwriter instead of your pocket.

Under Nigerian law this is the floor every vehicle on a public road must meet. Plenty of drivers still carry a certificate they bought cheap at a junction, and it counts for nothing the day something happens or an officer scans it. Otrac places yours with a licensed underwriter so the paper is real, the record exists, and you never have to explain a fake sticker to anybody.

What you get when Otrac arranges it instead of a roadside seller.

A genuine certificate

Your policy sits with a licensed underwriter, so the certificate is registered and stands up when an officer or a claimant checks it.

It moves fast

Send the vehicle details on WhatsApp and, once payment reaches the underwriter, most certificates go out the same day.

Room to grow

Start with third-party today, then move up to comprehensive whenever the budget allows, on the same underwriter and one quick message.

How it works

From a WhatsApp message to a certificate on your phone.

Send the vehicle details

Message us the make, model, year and plate number. That is all the underwriter needs to price your third-party cover.

We quote and place it

You get the premium back straight away. We place the policy with a licensed underwriter, no queue and no back and forth.

You pay the underwriter

The premium goes to the underwriter directly. Otrac arranges everything and never slips a charge onto the price.

Your certificate lands

The genuine certificate comes to you, usually the same day. Keep it in the car and drive without the checkpoint worry.

What's included

Everything in an Otrac third-party arrangement.

One message, and a policy that does the job the law needs it to do.

Cover for third-party harm

The underwriter answers for injury or damage you cause to other people and their property.

A licensed underwriter

Your policy sits with a properly registered insurer, so the certificate is real and holds up when checked.

A verifiable certificate

The document carries a record you can check, not a printed sticker that means nothing.

Fast turnaround

Most certificates go out the same day once the premium reaches the underwriter.

The paperwork handled

We fill it, place it and follow it up. You send the vehicle details and we do the rest.

No hidden Otrac fee

You pay the underwriter the premium. Our arranging does not add a naira to the price.

Which one do you need

Third-party against comprehensive, in plain terms.

Both are real policies. The difference is whose car gets paid for when something goes wrong. Read it, then pick what fits your budget.

Third-party
Comprehensive

No payout if your car is stolen or burnt.

Meets the legal minimum to drive.

The lighter premium, easy on the budget.

Newer or higher-value cars usually earn back the extra with comprehensive. If you just need to be legal now, third-party gets you there. Read about comprehensive cover →

Why Otrac

We arrange your papers the way we fit our trackers. Properly.

Otrac has looked after Nigerian vehicles since 2017. We deal with licensed underwriters every week, so we know which ones pay when a claim lands and which ones stall. Your certificate comes from a real policy on a real record, not a document somebody printed to make a quick sale at a junction.

You send one message and we handle the rest, from the quote to the certificate in your hand. When you are ready for tracking, tinting, comprehensive cover or your licence, it is the same team and the same number, so nobody sends you around town.

Is the cover you arrange real?
Yes. We place your policy with a licensed underwriter, so the certificate you get is genuine and checks out on the industry database, not a sticker somebody printed at a junction.
How fast can I get the certificate?
Send the vehicle details on WhatsApp and most certificates go out the same day once payment lands with the underwriter. No queue, no runaround.
Do you add your own charge on top?
No. You pay the underwriter the premium directly. Otrac arranges it and hands you the papers, and we do not slip a fee onto the price.
What is the difference between this and comprehensive cover?
Third-party pays for damage or injury you cause to other people and their property. It does not pay to repair your own car. Comprehensive adds cover for your own vehicle. We can quote both so you decide.

Yes, whenever the budget allows. Message us and we will quote the upgrade and place it with the same underwriter, so the switch is clean.
