Factors You Should Consider Before Purchasing Car Insurance Online

dot

Policy Type

Decide the type of car insurance plan based on your car’s specifications and usage. Third-party insurance is mandatory but offers limited coverage, while comprehensive car insurance offers broader coverage, including third-party liabilities.

dot

Insured Declared Value (IDV):

IDV is your car’s current market value and the amount you’ll get if your car is stolen or damaged beyond repair. Choosing a lower IDV reduces your premium but may also lower the payout during a total loss.

dot

Location

If you live or park your car regularly in a high-risk area, such as one prone to floods or theft, ensuring these factors are covered is essential. Additionally, road conditions and RTO charges can also influence premiums and coverage.

dot

Premium

Determine the car insurance premium. Also, make a note of the deductibles, if applicable. Deductibles refer to the amount that you need to pay in case of a claim before we cover the remaining amount.

Why is the claim amount not always paid in full, and what gets deducted? What should you do in case of theft or total loss? And how can network garages help make the claim process easier?

Watch the video to get clear answers and understand how the car insurance claim journey works, so you know what to do and what to expect during a claim.

Factors Impacting Insured Declared Value (IDV)

The Insured Declared Value (IDV) is the approximate current market value of your car and the estimated amount of maximum reimbursement you will get from your insurance policy in case your car is stolen or declared total loss due to an accident. You can decide the IDV for your car at the time of purchase. And it directly impacts your car insurance premium. While a higher IDV increases the premium, a lower IDV may result in inadequate coverage. Choosing the right IDV helps you avoid under- or over-insuring your car. Here are the factors that can affect your car’s IDV.

1

Make and Model

The make and model of your car affect its Insured Declared Value. A higher-end model will have a higher IDV compared to more affordable ones.

2

Geographical Location

The geographical location where the car was registered also impacts the IDV. The IDV of cars in metropolitan cities differs from that of cars registered in smaller towns across the country. This is because Zone A regions are at higher risk of increased traffic congestion, accidents and higher demand of the vehicle in the region.

3

Safety Features and Modifications

The type of modifications you have added to your car parts and the type of security or anti-theft devices you have installed in the vehicle also affect IDV. The higher the installation of safety features, the higher the IDV, and vice versa. Similarly, depending on the types of car modifications, the IDV might vary as it impacts the risk profile of your vehicle.

4

Usage of the Car

As your car ages, its parts wear down, resulting in depreciation. This reduces the Insured Declared Value (IDV), which is the amount your car is insured for. For example, depreciation is 5% in the first six months. After five years, depreciation reaches 50% and stays the same as the car continues to age.

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

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.
