How Does TATA AIG Car Insurance Work?

Why Do You Need Car Insurance?

Because it is Required by Law

selected-step-indicator

To Cover High Repair Costs

As Third-party Damages Can be Expensive

So You are Not Left Unprotected in an Accident

To Cover Rising Theft and Fire Cases

Third-party insurance is mandatory in India. Driving without it can lead to fines up to ₹4,000 and even a jail term.

From small city bumps to major highway crashes, accidents are common everywhere. Even a basic accident can cost ₹35,000–₹60,000 to fix. Insurance helps you avoid paying that out of pocket.

If you damage someone else’s car, property, or cause injury, the costs can be huge. Insurance covers these liabilities and legal expenses.

Get personal accident cover of up to ₹15 lakh for the owner-driver in case of serious injury or death.

Car thefts have risen sharply, especially in metros, and fire risks are increasing across EVs and fuel-based cars. Insurance keeps you covered.

What are the Different Types of Car Insurance Policies?

Third-Party Car Insurance

Standalone Own-Damage Car Insurance

Comprehensive Car Insurance

Zero Depreciation Car Insurance Policy

Usage-Based Car Insurance

Third-party car insurance is the basic policy required by law for all cars in India. It covers any damage caused to another person, vehicle or property by your car and the resulting legal expenses.

The third-party car insurance plan compensates for bodily injuries or death caused to others and covers property damage up to ₹7.5 lakhs. However, it does not cover damage to your own car.

Explore Policy Benefits

If you already have a third-party insurance policy, you can purchase standalone own-damage car insurance separately. This protects your own car against accidents, theft, natural disasters and man-made calamities.

It also gives car owners the flexibility to customise the coverage with optional add-ons for better protection.

Explore Policy Benefits

A comprehensive car policy covers both third-party liabilities and own damage to your car. With this policy, you get broader financial protection, whether your car is damaged due to accidents, theft, fire, or natural calamities like floods and earthquakes.

You can also customise and enhance your coverage with optional add-ons such as roadside assistance, engine secure, or return-to-invoice benefits.

Explore Policy Benefits

Also called a "zero dep" or "bumper-to-bumper" policy, it is a car insurance policy with the Depreciation Reimbursement cover. With this cover, you get the full claim amount for repairs and replacement. For example, the depreciation on parts like plastic, rubber, or metal will not be deducted.

It’s highly recommended for new cars or high-value models where repair costs are steep.

Explore Policy Benefits

This modern usage-based discount car insurance option is designed for those who don’t drive often. The premium is calculated based on the distance you drive in a year, measured in kilometres.

It’s an ideal choice for car owners with limited usage, work-from-home employees or weekend drivers and ensures you pay only for what you use.

Factors Affecting Car Insurance Premium

dot

A higher IDV in car insurance results in higher premiums.

dot

Luxury cars will attract a higher premium due to increased repair costs.

dot

Older cars have a lower IDV, which leads to a lower insurance premium.

dot

Cars registered in heavy traffic or accident-prone areas will have higher premiums.

dot

Cars with a higher engine capacity will have a higher premium.

dot

A higher voluntary deductible lowers the premium.

dot

A plan with higher coverage and more add-ons may have a higher premium.

dot

A clean driving record and claims history affect your car insurance price.

What is No Claim Bonus in Car Insurance?

No Claim Bonus (NCB) in car insurance is a reward given to policyholders for not making any claims during the policy year. It is provided as a discount on the renewal premium.

Since NCB is linked to the policyholder and not the car, it can be transferred to a new car you purchase or to another insurance provider if you switch your policy.

However, the No Claim Bonus can be terminated if the policy is not renewed on time. If you miss the renewal date, you can still retain the accumulated NCB if the car insurance is renewed within 90 days of the expiry date.

The No Claim Bonus depends on the number of your claim-free years.

Claim-free Period
No Claim Bonus

No claim made in the previous year.

20%

No claim made for two consecutive years.

25%

No claim made for three consecutive years

35%

No claim made for four consecutive years

45%

No claim made for five consecutive years

What is IDV and What Factors Affect it?

IDV stands for Insured Declared Value. It is the approximate current market value of your car after deducting depreciation. It is also the maximum amount you will get if your car is stolen or declared a total loss due to an accident. IDV = (Current market value of your car - the depreciation value) + (Cost of accessories - the depreciation value applicable to accessories) Here are the factors that can affect your car’s IDV.

1

Make and Model

A higher-end car will have a higher IDV compared to budget models.

2

Age and Depreciation

IDV drops as your car gets older. For example, depreciation starts at around 5% between 6 months and 1 year and can go up to 50% beyond 10 years.

3

Geographical Location

Cars in metro cities (Zone A) often have higher IDVs due to more demand and a higher risk of traffic congestion.

Important Car Insurance Terminologies You Need to Know

Add-on Covers:

Optional covers that offer additional benefits beyond what is offered under a standard insurance policy.

Break-in Insurance

If you miss renewing your car insurance policy and it expires, it results in a break-in in your policy coverage.

Cashless Garages

Refers to a network of garages where you can get your car repaired without paying for the repairs from your pocket. The insurer settles the repair bills directly with the garage.

Deductibles

It is the fixed amount of money you must pay from your pocket for a claim. There are two types - compulsory and voluntary. Higher deductibles lower your premium but increase what you pay at claim time.

Depreciation

As cars age, their market value decreases due to wear and tear caused by regular use. As a result, the depreciated value of car parts is excluded from the claim amount, reducing the claim amount.

Endorsements

Endorsements are modifications done to your policy, such as the addition of your details, deletion or removal of policy terms. This helps you manage your policy as per your changing needs.

Legal Liabilities

In car insurance, this refers to your legal responsibility to compensate a third party for bodily injury or property damage caused by an accident involving your insured car.

No-Claim Bonus (NCB)

This is a discount that you earn on your premium for every time you complete a policy year without any claims. With each claim-free year, you earn a fixed discount on premiums, and it can go up to 50% for 5 consecutive claim-free years.

Personal Accident Cover

Offers compensation of up to ₹15 lakh for bodily injury or death sustained by the owner-driver due to an accident. It covers death and permanent total disablement resulting from accidental injuries.

Premium

The price you pay regularly to keep your policy active, like a subscription for protection. In exchange for the premium paid, you receive coverage against a wide range of risks.

Is car insurance mandatory in India?

toggle

Yes, as per the Indian Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, having at least a third-party car policy is mandatory in India. Also, based on a Supreme Court order issued in 2018, all new cars must be sold with a 3-year third-party car insurance plan.

Which is the best insurance for a car?

toggle

This depends on various factors. There cannot be one policy that is best for all types of cars. You can assess various factors, such as your car’s make and model, IDV, location, and usage, to determine the best car insurance policy. Compare the different options and choose a policy that best suits your requirements and fits your budget.

Which car insurance is cheapest?

toggle

Third-party car insurance is the cheapest car insurance, as it offers only the basic coverage required by law. It covers third-party liabilities, including bodily injury and property damage, but does not cover any damage to your own car.

You can consider purchasing either own damage cover with a third-party policy or a comprehensive car insurance policy for complete protection.

Which is better, 3rd party or comprehensive?

toggle

Comprehensive car insurance is always considered a better option. This is because it offers complete protection against damages caused to your vehicle and also third-party liabilities. Also, it offers a wide range of optional add-ons that can customise your car insurance policy based on your specific needs.

Can I convert 3rd party insurance to comprehensive?

toggle

Yes, you can upgrade your car insurance plan from 3rd party to comprehensive car insurance at the time of renewal. The coverage offered and the premium will be decided after the company conducts a vehicle inspection.

Is the cheapest car insurance always better?

toggle

The cheapest car insurance policy may not always be the best choice. Such policies are generally cheaper because they offer limited coverage. Inadequate coverage may not be able to cover all your repair or replacement expenses.

What are the disadvantages of third-party insurance?

toggle

Third-party insurance only covers third-party liabilities, such as property damage and bodily injuries caused to others. It does not cover any damage to your own car.

Which insurance plan is compulsory for a new car?

toggle

As per the Indian Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, having at least a third-party car policy is mandatory. And, based on a Supreme Court order issued in 2018, all new cars must be sold with a 3-year third-party car insurance plan.

Are offline and online car insurance policies the same?

toggle

Yes. Online and offline are just two different modes to purchase your preferred TATA AIG car insurance policy. So, if you purchase our car insurance online through our website, it will be the same as if you purchase it from our branch. However, you can enjoy discounts of up to 85% on premiums with an online purchase.

Is it necessary to have car insurance in India?

toggle

Yes. As per the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988, all vehicles must have at least third-party insurance. If you do not have third-party car insurance, you cannot legally drive your car on Indian roads.

toggle

We always recommend buying car insurance online as it is quick, easy and convenient. You can compare car insurance policies to find the best policy at the most competitive price. There is minimal paperwork required, and no middlemen are involved.

What is the insurance premium?

toggle

An insurance premium for a car is the amount you pay to the insurance company to receive coverage for risks that may damage your car and any third-party damages incurred by your insured car.

How can I calculate the car insurance premium for my policy?

toggle

You can use the TATA AIG car insurance premium calculator to determine the premium you have to pay for your car based on the type of plan and add-ons chosen.

How much is 1 year of car insurance?

toggle

The cost of a 1-year car insurance premium is determined based on several factors, such as the car’s age, make, and model, the type of policy chosen, the add-ons included, your location, and more. Since these factors vary, the premium amount differs from one car to another and from one location to another. TATA AIG offers car insurance plans with premiums starting from just ₹2094 per year.

What does a car insurance policy cover?

toggle

This depends entirely on the type of TATA AIG car insurance policy you choose. A third-party car insurance policy covers third-party injuries or property damage but does not cover damage to your own car.

A standalone own damage insurance covers damages to your car due to various reasons, such as accidents, theft, natural disasters and more. A comprehensive car insurance plan offers coverage for both your own car and third-party liabilities.

Should I get a comprehensive car insurance policy, or is third-party enough?

toggle

The choice of car insurance depends on your needs and usage. For example, if you use your car less frequently, the mandatory third-party insurance coverage may be sufficient. On the other hand, if you drive your car in accident-prone zones or own an expensive or new car, comprehensive car insurance is more advisable.

What does zero depreciation (Depreciation Reimbursement) mean in car insurance?

toggle

Zero depreciation (Depreciation Reimbursement) is a very popular car insurance add-on. It protects your finances against the regular depreciation costs of various parts of your car. If you choose to get this add-on along with your TATA AIG car insurance policy, you will be reimbursed for the full value of a part. The depreciated value of that part will not be considered.

How to complete your car insurance renewal after expiration?

toggle

If you’ve missed your policy renewal deadline, you can contact us, and we will help you with your car insurance renewal. We’ll need a few details, such as your car’s registration number, your previous policy number, the number of claims you’ve previously made and a few images of your car.

Once we have that, we’ll be in a better position to understand what your premium should be. If you complete the process within 90 days of your previous car insurance policy’s expiry date, we may even be able to transfer your NCB to your new policy!

Are there any important factors I should consider before buying or renewing car insurance?

toggle

You should always purchase a car insurance policy that offers you the best coverage and the most competitive prices. While looking for a policy, consider the car insurance premium, the type of coverage offered, the network garages available, and the kind of add-ons available to you.

What happens if my previous car insurance policy has already expired?

toggle

If you didn’t renew your car insurance policy on time, you will lose your coverage benefits. You can still get a new car policy with TATA AIG. However, since there’s a gap in your coverage, we may need to send an inspector or surveyor to inspect your vehicle. If you renew the new policy within 90 days of the old policy’s expiry, you should still be eligible to claim any No Claim Bonus (NCB), if applicable.

Why renewing your car insurance policy on time matters?

toggle

If you miss renewing your car insurance policy on time, it will expire, and you will have no coverage during that period.

With TATA AIG, you have a 90-day window to renew, but during this period, there’s no protection. Late renewal could result in higher premiums, loss of No Claim Bonus (NCB), and missing out on valuable add-ons like Zero Depreciation.

Also, renewing your car insurance on time helps avoid legal issues, keeps your coverage intact and ensures continuous coverage.

How to change car insurance from one company to another?

toggle

To switch car insurance providers in India, begin by assessing your insurance needs and comparing policies online to find better coverage and pricing. Once you’ve chosen a new insurer, purchase the new policy before cancelling the old one. Request a No Claim Bonus (NCB) Transfer Certificate from your current insurer to retain any benefits. Inform your current insurer in writing to cancel the policy.

Ensure the new policy starts immediately after the old one ends to prevent coverage gaps. This process, supported by IRDAI regulations, enables easy switching with benefits such as better prices and services.

What are the documents required to transfer car insurance?

toggle

To transfer car insurance in India, you need these documents:

The TATA AIG car insurance claim online process is quick and hassle-free. For cashless claims, you can inform us about the claim, seek approval, and get the repairs done at any of our network garages. We will settle the bills directly with the garage.

What are cashless claims?

When not to file a car insurance claim?

It is generally advisable not to file a car insurance claim for minor or affordable damages, such as small dents, scratches, or minor bumper repairs. Filing a claim in such cases can lead to the loss of your No Claim Bonus, which offers a discount on your renewal premium.

Each coverage request is unique. At TATA AIG, we are committed to settling all car insurance claim requests within 30 days.

Is an FIR required for filing a car insurance claim?

toggle

This depends on the reason for your claim. If your car has been stolen or if you are involved in an accident, you will need a copy of the FIR to start the process.

How long will it take to renew my car insurance online?

toggle

The online car insurance renewal process takes just a few minutes. Once you enter your car registration number and policy details, we’ll be able to complete the process in just 3-4 clicks. If there’s been a break in cover, the car insurance renewal process could take a little more time. We’ll have to inspect the car before providing you with a quote, which could take 2-3 days.

Can I transfer my insurance if I sell my car?

toggle

Absolutely! If you’ve decided to sell your car, you can transfer your TATA AIG car insurance policy to the new owner. But you must remember that the new policy-owner will not be able to benefit from your NCB.

Is there a way for me to check the status of my car insurance?
