Apart from covering the private dwelling house/apartment/flat and its contents, the chisa domestic policy also covers the following: Motor vehicles, cycles, trailers(for private usage), personal liability, all risks, pleasure craft, golfers, personal accident. This is truly a packaged policy conveniently designed with various sections.
