Mini Car Insurance

Founded in 1969, Mini is a British automotive company that was bought by BMW in 2000. The brand is known for its iconic small car that was a rage during the 1960s. In fact, it was considered to be Britain’s answer to the Volkswagen Beetle, another popular car during that period.

MINI was launched in 2012 in India and currently has three cars for Indian car lovers.

These include the MINI 3-door Hatch designed for city streets and packed with a range of innovative and practical features. The second is the MINI Countryman, designed for people who prefer long drives with their loved ones and mild adventures.

The third car was unveiled last year, the MINI 3-Door Hatch Cooper SE – the company’s first electric car in India. This has been designed futuristically, keeping emission-free driving in mind and the needs of future generations.

Buying a MINI is more than buying a car. It is about being a part of the legacy of a brand that spans decades and has been a part of the evolution of the automobile industry. Regardless of the MINI car you choose, it is important to remember that you need to buy car insurance to be able to take the car out on the road.

You can choose between mandatory third-party liability-only insurance for a car or buy a comprehensive policy for complete coverage. Most people opt for comprehensive motor insurance policies because they cover third-party liabilities plus damages to the insured cars.

Before buying a car insurance policy, looking for an insurance provider offering feature-rich policies and customer-centric processes is essential.

Tata AIG offers a comprehensive MINI Cooper insurance policy offering the best financial protection for your car. We ensure that our processes are simple and hassle-free to help you easily buy a policy. You can also complete your existing Tata AIG car insurance renewal online in no time.

Mini Cooper Insurance Cost - Your Premium Amount

The premium of a car insurance policy is an important aspect of choosing a policy. Most car owners look for affordable premiums since it is a recurring cost.

At Tata AIG, we ensure that all our policies are cost-efficient and competitive. Also, we inform you of all the costs and charges upfront so that you can make an informed decision.

You can also use our online car insurance calculator to compare the car insurance plans, calculate the premium, and choose the one that suits your needs.

Here are the factors that we consider while calculating the premium of a MINI car insurance policy:

Mini Cooper third-party car insurance

A third-party car insurance policy offers coverage only from third-party liabilities. It does not cover the damage to the insured car or injury to the owner-driver due to an accident involving the insured car.

The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) determines the premium of these policies on a yearly basis.

The premium rates are the same across all insurers. The IRDAI calculates it based on the engine capacity (cc) of the car.

Mini Cooper comprehensive car insurance

The premium of a Tata AIG Mini Cooper comprehensive car insurance policy is calculated using a range of factors as described below:

Primarily, we start with understanding the type of vehicle you own. This is because luxury vehicles tend to cost more for repairs and part replacements. Hence, we adjust the premium to accommodate for the higher costs.

Also, older vehicles tend to cost less to repair than newer ones, provided the spare parts are easily available.

The location where the car is usually driven plays an important role. If you drive your car through busy highways/streets or areas where accidents are common, we need to expect more claims and adjust the premium accordingly.

We also check if you have modified the car or installed any security devices to assess risk and calculate the premium.

We offer Agreed Value Coverage. This means that we don't determine the policy's market value when we issue the policy. We list a range of market values and ask you to choose one based on your requirements. This is called the Insured Declared Value or IDV of your car. It impacts the sum insured by the policy and, hence, its premium.

The add-ons you choose also impact your car insurance premium. Since every add-on carries an additional premium, the more add-ons you choose, the higher your premium will be.

Add-Ons for Mini Car Car Insurance by Tata AIG

Add-on covers are essential for customizing a comprehensive car insurance policy. At Tata AIG, we offer 12 add-on covers as described below:**

NCB Protection Cover: If you have not filed a single claim during a policy term, you get a premium discount while renewing your policy. This is called the No Claim Bonus (NCB). Usually, you lose this discount even if you file a single claim. However, with the NCB Protection cover, you can get a discount even if you have filed a predefined number of claims during a policy term.

Roadside Assistance Cover: This add-on cover helps you get emergency breakdown services if your car is not driveable due to an accident or mishap.

Repair of Glass Fiber and Plastic Parts Cover: When a car is damaged, its plastic and fiber-glass parts can get damaged too. Replacing these parts is not covered under a standard comprehensive car insurance policy. With this add-on cover, these costs are covered.

Daily Allowance Cover: If the car meets with an accident and needs to stay at the garage for some days for repairs, then this add-on cover offers compensation for your travel costs to the intended destination without your car.

Emergency Transport and Hotel Expenses Cover: If an accident damages your car and renders it undrivable, this add-on cover compensates for the overnight accommodation expenses at a hotel and emergency transport.

Key Replacement Cover: If you lose your car keys or if they are stolen, you must replace them. This can be costly. With a key replacement add-on cover, these costs are reimbursed.

Engine Secure Cover: This add-on cover reimburses the cost of repairing the engine if it is damaged due to any of the approved reasons.

Tyre Secure Cover: This add-on cover reimburses the cost of repairing the tyre/tube if it is damaged for any of the approved reasons.

Consumables Expenses Cover: When a car is damaged, the consumables might need to be replaced or replenished. These include lubricants, oils, screws, etc. Replacing these consumables is not covered under a standard comprehensive car insurance policy. With this add-on cover, these costs are covered.

Loss of Personal Belongings Cover: This add-on covers the loss of personal belongings you might lose during an accident. There is a list of belongings that are covered under the add-on.

Return to Invoice Cover: In case of a total loss, i.e. if the car is stolen and declared untraceable by police or damaged beyond repair in an accident, we reimburse the IDV of the car to you. The IDV is usually lower than the on-road price of a car of the same make and model. If you purchase this add-on cover, then we reimburse the on-road price of the car and not the IDV.

Zero Depreciation Cover: This add-on cover calculates all claim amounts by excluding depreciation.
