Frequently Asked Questions
1. How is the IDV for a new Mercedes-Benz car decided?
The IDV of a Mercedes car is its ex-showroom price adjusted for depreciation based on the car’s age. If the car has any original accessories, the depreciated price of the accessories is added to the IDV. For a brand new car, the highest IDV that an insurer can offer is 95% of the ex-showroom price.
2. Which Mercedes-Benz car is the cheapest to insure?
The premium cost of a Mercedes-Benz car depends on many factors, including the car’s age, policy coverage, add-ons, etc. However, where all other factors remain the same, the cost of insurance on a Mercedes-Benz car depends on the vehicle’s IDV. Since the Mercedes CLA is the most affordable new car at ₹55 lakhs, its lowest-priced variant should be the cheapest to insure.
3. What happens if I don’t renew my Mercedes-Benz car insurance on time?
If you don’t renew your car insurance on time, the immediate consequence is that you will no longer have coverage and have to cover repairs and liabilities on your own. In addition, you will lose all your accumulated No Claim Bonus and other discounts with your previous insurer. A lapsed policy is also more expensive to renew as it requires a mandatory vehicle inspection.
4. How can I lower the premium for a Mercedes-Benz car insurance plan?
You can lower your premium costs by taking measures like installing an ARAI-approved anti-theft device, opting for a voluntary deductible and becoming a member of an automobile association. Other ways to reduce premium costs include avoiding minor claims in previous years, opting for bundled plans and reducing add-on covers.
5. Do I need any documents to buy or renew a Mercedes-Benz insurance plan?
Yes, you will need a few documents to buy a new car insurance plan, including identity and address proof, a car registration certificate, and a driving licence. To renew your car insurance plan, you may also need your previous policy document for the policy number and insurer details.
