With car prices in Pakistan crossing Rs 5M for mid-range sedans, car insurance is no longer optional. A single accident or theft can cost more than a year’s salary. Here’s everything you need to know about motor insurance in Pakistan in 2026 — including how to legally save up to 30% on your annual premium.
Types of car insurance in Pakistan
Third Party Liability (TPL)
The legal minimum. Covers damage you cause to other people’s property or bodies. Doesn’t cover your own car. Cheapest — Rs 3,000–6,000/yr.
Comprehensive Motor Insurance
Covers your own car (own damage + theft + fire) plus TPL. Typical premium: 2%–5% of car value per year.
Digital / Tracker-bundled
Modern insurers like TPL Insurance bundle a GPS tracker with comprehensive cover — often at a lower rate because theft risk drops.

|---|---|---|
| Suzuki Alto VXR | Rs 2.5M | Rs 55,000–80,000 |
