Skoda Kodiaq Insurance

Four-wheeler insurance is an agreement between a vehicle owner and the insurance provider where the insurer promises to compensate for specific losses arising out of third-party or own damages. In return, the vehicle owner has to pay premiums regularly. Hence, four-wheeler insurance is an efficient tool to stay financially secure if your car is damaged or you get injured while driving it.

Here’s more about why you need car insurance for your Skoda Kodiaq:

• Helps you comply with the law
• Protects you from third-party liabilities
• Compensates for loss or theft of your car
• Protects against financial liabilities due to car damages
• Protects your car from natural calamities
• Offers a Personal Accident cover

Now let’s discuss the types of four-wheeler insurance policies in brief.

• There are three types of four-wheeler insurance policies that are as follows:

• Third-Party Liability Cover

The most basic car insurance policy is a third-party liability cover, which is mandatory as per the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988. Third-party motor insurance covers legal and financial liabilities arising out of third-party injuries/death or property damages. It means you can avail of compensation if you injure a third party or damage his/her property. However, you must note that this type of policy fails to offer respite for your car damages or injuries.

• Standalone Own-Damage Cover

Another four-wheeler insurance is own-damage cover where you can avail of compensation for your losses too. This policy covers damages caused due to accidents, vandalism, riots, theft, fire and explosion and damages beyond repair. However, an own-damage policy does not cover third-party damages.

• Comprehensive Insurance

Comprehensive insurance provides extensive coverage for your four-wheeler from damages due to accidents, natural disasters, riots, strikes, vandalism, theft, and much more. While the policy covers financial and legal liabilities arising out of third-party injuries or damages, it also includes a Personal Accident Cover of up to ₹15 Lakhs. Not only this, but if your car is stolen or damaged beyond repair, the insurance provider will reimburse the loss based on the car’s IDV (Insured Declared Value).

The Skoda insurance cost depends on the car’s Insured Declared Value (IDV). IDV is your car’s current value, according to which the insurer compensates you if it is stolen or damaged beyond repair.

The table below shows how IDV is calculated after considering a car’s depreciation over the years.

While calculating the IDV of your Skoda Kodiaq, Tata AIG considers several factors like its make and model, its age, registration city, type of use and fuel, cubic capacity, etc.

Now that you know what IDV is, you must also get a quote for your Skoda car insurance before buying one. With Tata AIG’s online four-wheeler insurance premium calculator, you can know the Skoda insurance cost, compare car insurance policies online and buy the most affordable plan. You can also visit a local dealer to know your Skoda Kodiaq’s IDV.

Note: Prices of a third-party car insurance policy are based on Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) guidelines that are standardised according to the car’s engine cubic capacity.

Comprehensive insurance may not suffice for your dream car considering the expensive accessories and rising crimes. So, buying suitable add-on covers is a wise step to give your car an added layer of protection. Tata AIG offers 12 unique add-on covers that include:

1. No Claim Bonus Protection

The No Claim Bonus Protection allows you to raise a car insurance claim for damages during a policy year while retaining the NCB discount. However, the number of claims you can make under this add-on cover is limited. Also, this add-on cover is available with comprehensive insurance only.

2. Zero Depreciation Cover

This add-on cover allows you to avail of reimbursement for the deducted cost of depreciation of the car’s parts when you file a claim. While you can receive a sum insured without deducting depreciation value, the add-on cover only offers this benefit for the first two claims. Also, this rider is available with a standalone own damage or comprehensive insurance policy.

3. Roadside Assistance Cover

The roadside assistance add-on cover acts as a saviour if you and your car are stuck in a remote location with no help nearby. With this add-on cover in place, you can ensure 24/7 assistance by the insurance provider to refuel, tow or for emergency mechanic service.

4. Repair of Glass, Fibre and Plastic Parts

This add-on cover allows you to raise a car insurance claim for the costs incurred on repairing damaged glass, fibre and plastic parts of your car. With this add-on cover, you can raise one repair claim in a policy year with no effect on the No Claim Bonus.

5. Daily Allowance Cover

Having this cover will reimburse for the costs of travelling without your car if it is damaged and has to stay for a while in a garage. The amount is paid for 10-15 days depending on the reason for the car insurance claim.

6. Emergency Transport and Hotel Expense Cover

This add-on cover pays you for accommodation expenses and travel charges if your car meets with an accident while travelling to your destination.

7. Key Replacement

Key replacement cover reimburses for the costs of replacing lost car keys in case they or the car is stolen.

8. Engine Secure

Engine secure add-on cover allows you to raise a claim to replace or repair your car’s engine without incurring extra costs. Since comprehensive insurance does not cover your engine, this add-on cover ensures the protection of your car’s most valuable part.

9. Tyre Secure

Tyre secure add-on helps you repair or replace your car’s tyres or tubes. However, it is to be noted that this add-on cover compensates for tyre loss or damage caused due to an accident.

10. Consumables Expense

This add-on covers the consumables in your car that are lost and need to be replaced after an accident. The consumables include engine oil, air conditioner gas, gearbox oil, oil filter, nuts and bolts, etc. However, the rider doesn’t cover the cost of fuel in the car.

11. Loss of Personal Belongings

This add-on helps recover the loss or damage to personal belongings in your insured car like audio tapes, CDs, clothes, etc. However, you must note that this add-on does not cover jewellery, watches, cash, or credit/debit cards.

12. Return to Invoice Cover

This add-on allows you to cover the difference between the purchase price and the compensation amount when you file a claim for a stolen or damaged car. Moreover, if there is a new car of the same make and model, the insurer reimburses the difference between the cost of the new car and the claim amount. With this add-on cover, the insurer also pays for the road tax and registration charges you spent on the car.

[Note: Tata AIG believes in transparency and helps its customers make informed decisions. So, you must know that each add-on cover comes with additional costs and raises the car insurance premium. So, before adding the riders, you should evaluate your car’s needs. ]
