For instance, a Third-party Scooter Insurance Plan (Liability-only Policy) will only cover damages to the third-party property and injury/death of a third party, while a Comprehensive Scooter Insurance Plan will offer all the benefits of the Third-party Liability Policy and cover damages to the scooter.
