What is Motor Insurance?
COLFIRE offers a full range of coverage types - Comprehensive, Third Party Fire & Theft and Third Party. Protection is provided to private motor vehicle owners who use their vehicle for social, business and domestic purposes. Commercial vehicles which are used for own goods carriage only also enjoy these covers.

The Private Motor Vehicle Policy


Basic Scope of Cover

The Company will indemnify the Insured against loss or damage to the motor vehicle and its accessories and spare parts whilst thereon by accidental collision or overturning, fire or theft, malicious act or whilst in transit (this would be usually by road but would include sea between any ports in Trinidad & Tobago). The cost of protection and removal of the disabled vehicle is also covered up to the monetary limit of the policy.

Additional Benefits

A comprehensive private motor policy provides the following additional benefits without any additional premium:

(a) damage to garage by fire
(b) medical expenses incurred in respect of occupants in the vehicle following accident
(c) personal accident cover to insured/spouse
(d) clothing and personal effects

There are monetary limits to these benefits.

The insured under a private motor vehicle policy may also obtain the following benefits for additional premiums:

(1) flood, hurricane, earthquake, volcanic eruption, riot and strike
(2) windscreen breakage

Windscreen breakage claims as an additional benefit or extension are not subject to any excess and the insured’s no claim discount is not affected.


The above explanations give a summary of the type of cover available. For full details, including the exclusions and conditions that apply, please contact us at any of our offices.


Products
COLFIRE prides itself in its innovation of designing niche motor insurance discounts and plans, which offer specific benefits in its premium calculations and reward in lower excesses and protection of the Safe Driver Discount (No Claim Discount).

We are prepared to offer a special discount to you with any motor policy taken out or renewed. The following is a list of the other possibilities:

 
THE FEMALE DRIVERS PLAN

This plan offers female drivers and vehicle owners premium discount of up to 20%. The excesses for accidental damages are approximately 25% lower than the normal excesses.

 
THE 20K ADVANTAGE

This 20% discount is offered to drivers who work within 20 kilometers of their home and who do not use their vehicles to conduct business. Eligibility for this discount can be verified on our computer system.
 
SAFE DRIVER DISCOUNT

COLFIRE has replaced the traditional No Claim Discount (NCD) with the Safe Driver Discount (SDD) which rewards drivers for safe driving. This discount is increased for each year of safe driving and is never lost all at once. A claim made during any policy year will only result in the driver stepping back to his previous level. No premium payment is necessary for the discount one has earned over the years. Our SDD is as high as 65%.

 
BABY ON BOARD

We believe that people drive better when they have a baby in the car, that's why we are giving a COLFIRE Baby on Board motor discount. Once the insured is a parent or guardian of a baby under four years, then he/she can receive up to 20% motor premium discounts.

 
FIRST EXPERIENCE DRIVER'S PLAN - (for young drivers)  

COLFIRE has devised a plan for drivers under 25 years or persons who have been driving for less than 2 years. Once the young driver has successfully completed a defensive driving program they qualify for Reduced Excesses, No Young Driver Loadings, Discounts off the insured's Insurance Coverage and Accumulation of their own Safe Driver Discount.
