You were driving drunk or without a valid driving licence.
You hold a learner’s licence and were driving without a valid driving licence-holder in the front passenger seat.
Any damage which is not a direct result of the accident (e.g. after an accident, if the damaged car is driven incorrectly and the engine gets damaged, it will not be covered)

· These plans are required by law to drive your Datsun car in India. They offer basic protection and do not offer cover for own-damage. Third-party insurance only compensates for damages & losses caused to a third-party person (or persons) in an accident you are involved in.
· Third-party insurance also provides personal accident cover. This component pays up to 15 lakh to the policyholder or his/her family member in case of serious injuries or death arising from an accident.
· If you want complete protection for your Datsun car, you should purchase a comprehensive car insurance policy. In addition to third party cover, these plans also cover damage & loss of own car due to road mishaps, acts of nature & man-made calamities like thefts. With these plans, you can also purchase add-ons to increase the coverage of your Datsun car insurance policy.
· Before you buy an insurance policy for your Datsun car, you should know these important car insurance terms:
Premium is the cost of your Datsun car insurance policy. It is the amount you have to pay to enjoy car insurance coverage. It is usually payable annually, except for the case of long-term plans, where it is usually paid once every 3 years.
The financial protection provided by your insurance policy is known as coverage. The coverage of a car insurance policy will vary based on the insurance provider and the type of plan you purchase.
Add-ons are extra amounts of financial protection that you can purchase to widen the coverage of your Datsun car insurance policy.
IDV stands for Insurer Declared Value. It is the listing price of your vehicle minus depreciation. In case of a total loss of your vehicle or theft, IDV is the maximum compensation your insurance provider will offer.
No claim bonus, or NCB, is like a reward for not making a claim. It is a discount you enjoy when you renew your plan after a claim-free year. This discount will keep increasing for every claim-free year. You can avail a maximum discount of 50% year after year for not making any claims against your policy.
The easiest way to get an accurate estimate of your premium amount is to use the car insurance premium calculator. It is a simple online tool that allows you to check the premium of your Datsun car insurance using some very basic information. To calculate the premium, you must provide the following details:
