Car insurance offers protection against accidents, theft, natural calamities & other unforeseen circumstance that could harm your vehicle. Having a good motor insurance policy ensures that you and your car are protected from the financial losses of these unfortunate events.
As per the Motor Vehicle Act of 1988, it is also compulsory to have vehicle insurance to drive your car on Indian roads. You can purchase our basic third party insurance policy to comply with this mandate. Or, you could opt for the added protection of our comprehensive car insurance policy and enjoy complete peace of mind on every drive. We also offer standalone own damage insurance that can be bundled with a third party insurance policy to provide all-round cover against the perils of the road.
You can also choose from several add-on covers such as Depreciative waiver or zero depreciation insurance, return to invoice cover, etc. and customize your plan to your exact requirements. You can set the IDV and voluntary deductible of your plan to suit your needs and tailor the coverage to fit your budget perfectly.

Choose from a range of add-on covers to increase the protection of your plan.
Every year the value of your car and its parts decreases by a certain percentage. This is known as depreciation. Claim amounts are generally based on the depreciated value of your car, resulting in lower payouts. To avoid this, one can opt for the zero-depreciation add-on cover. It ensures you get complete compensation for your carand its parts, without considering their depreciated value.
The engine is the heart of your car. However, damages to the engine are usually not covered by a car insurance policy. Therefore, if you want protection for this vital component of your vehicle, you can opt for the engine protection add-on. It will provide coverage against damage to the important parts of your engine, including the crankshaft, piston, pins, cylinder, gearbox, and so on.
No claim bonus is a discount provided to you for not making a claim against your policy. This discount keeps increasing every year if you do not make a claim. In this manner, you can avail a discount of up to 50% on your premium amount. if you make even a single claim, the NCB discount is lost and normal premium amounts are restored. However, with the NCB protector add-on, your discount will remain intact, even if you make a claim.
With this add-on, in case of total loss or theft of your vehicle, the insurance provider will provide you with the on-road price of your car as compensation. Whereas, with a normal plan, you would only get the IDV of your car and this decreases every year!
Cars can breakdown and when they do it is often at the worst time and place. A mechanical failure could leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere without any help in sight. However, if you opt for the road-side assistance add-on, you can simply call your insurance provider and they will send mechanical assistance your way.
The Company may cancel the policy by sending seven days notice by recorded delivery to the insured at insured’s last known address and in such event will return to the insured the premium paid less the pro rata portion thereof for the period the Policy has been in force. The policy may be cancelled at any time by the insured on seven days notice by recorded delivery and provided no claim has arisen during the currency of the policy. The insured shall be entitled to a return of premium less premium at the Company’s Short Period rates for the period the Policy has been in force.

These plans also provide personal accident cover that pays up to 15 lakh to the policyholder or his/her family member in case of serious injuries or death arising from an accident. Lastly, you cannot purchase add-ons if you choose third party insurance.
Comprehensive plans have two components – third party cover and own-damage cover.

When you buy car insurance, your premium rate is calculated based on several factors. Some of these factors include:
Cost of the vehicle
The cost of your car directly affects your car insurance premium. This is because expensive cars have a higher IDV. And the higher your IDV is, the higher your premium is.
(IDV stands for Insurer Declared Value. It is the maximum compensation your insurance provider will offer in case of total loss. Your car’s IDV is its selling price minus the annual depreciation).
Age
Since IDV decreases with time, so will your premium. Usually, after the car turns 5, the IDV is decided based on mutual consensus between the policyholder and the insurance company. You can set a lower IDV and enjoy lower premiums in the process.
Location
Metro cities have more vehicular traffic. This results in congested roads and a greater risk of an accident. Therefore, if you live in a city like Mumbai or Delhi, you could end up paying much more than what you would if you lived in a tier-3 town like Bhopal or Nagpur.
Type of policy
If you choose third party insurance, your premiums will be quite affordable. Whereas comprehensive plans can be a little costly.
Add-ons
Every add-on has its own price. Therefore, your choice and the number of add-ons you choose can significantly affect the cost of your car insurance policy.
