Tyre Protection Cover in Car Insurance

Most drivers carry car insurance since it is required by law. Policyholders can, however, improve a basic policy by adding insurance riders for an additional fee. It is because even comprehensive coverage may not give complete protection against unforeseeable events such as weather, road conditions, component damage, etc. A tyre protector is one of the components of add-on services.

Tyres are a crucial part of a car, yet they suffer the most damage. This is because tyres are subjected to the abuse of various road conditions and bear the total weight of the car and its occupants. Typical insurance for cars, though, does not cover them by default. As a result, it's a good idea to get a car tyre cover.

A car tyre cover is just insurance for your car tyres. It is an add-on that you can purchase with a Tata AIG standalone own-damage or comprehensive motor insurance policy for an additional charge. It is insurance for your car tyres if it suffers any wear and tear. People spend a lot of money replacing tyres without realising it, but you can save thousands of rupees with a car tyre cover added to your motor insurance.

Tata AIG provides a tyre protector as an add-on feature of its comprehensive insurance for cars. With this tyre protector, you are offered compensation and replacement under specific circumstances.

If you wonder is tyre damage is covered by insurance, you may have gotten your answer. But there are some specific features offered under this cover.

• Replacement of a Tyre

Tyre damage can occur from various causes, including cracks, bulges, punctures, cuts, and so on. During such times, tyre replacement may be the most practical solution. As a result, it is essential to purchase tire insurance in conjunction with a comprehensive auto insurance policy to protect yourself against the cost of replacing a damaged tyre.

• Labour Charges

Fitting or relocating a tyre from one position to another can be an additional expenditure that appears as a labour cost in the future. However, the insurance company will reimburse the client for the labour costs of removing, refitting, and rebalancing the tyre if they have a tyre protection cover and comprehensive insurance for the car.

• Protection Post Accident

Unforeseen destruction or damage may fall to the tyre and cylinders, rendering the tyre unfit for use. This includes tyre swell, tyre blasting, and tyre damage/slice.
