Volkswagen Passat Insurance
Volkswagen Passat Insurance
The Volkswagen Passat was a full-size luxury car model sold in India until 2019. It was a popular choice among car buyers looking for a spacious and comfy vehicle with a premium feel.
The Passat was available in a diesel engine option and featured a comfortable and well-appointed interior, good driving dynamics, and a refined driving experience. It was also known for its good fuel efficiency and low maintenance costs. The Passat was positioned as a premium model in the Indian market and was priced accordingly.
People passionate about their Passat should know that driving this discontinued model comes with its own set of challenges. For example, spare parts may be challenging to obtain if it sustains damage, resulting in higher repair costs. However, there is a car insurance policy to protect against such adversities.
The insurance covers legal liabilities, theft, damage due to man-made and natural calamities, and fire. You can also raise the scope of coverage with add-ons, like zero depreciation cover or tyre replacement add-ons.
At Tata AIG, we offer third-party liability, stand-alone own damage, and comprehensive four-wheeler insurance policies with customisable options to help you purchase the most affordable and suitable car insurance for your Volkswagen Passat.
Volkswagen Car Insurance Renewal/Buy via Tata AIG
Volkswagen produces some exceptionally advanced vehicles, and the Passat is no different. The only drawback to owning such an advanced vehicle is the high cost of replacing spare parts. If you have a Passat in your garage and want to take a long drive, ensure it is insured. If it is not insured, contact us for immediate auto insurance coverage.
Here is what you need to do:
On the Tata AIG website, navigate to the Car Insurance option under the “All Products” category.
You will see the 'Renew' and 'Get Price' options on your screen.
Enter your Volkswagen Passat registration number on the following page and select the 'Get Price' option if this is your first transaction with us.
Enter Passat's registration number and click on the 'Renew' option if you are an existing Tata AIG customer and want to renew your policy.
Fill out the purchase/renewal application with the required details.
Using our four-wheeler insurance calculator, determine the Volkswagen Passat's Insured Declared Value (IDV). The output then must be chosen from a drop-down menu.
Provide the claim history for your vehicle. Apply No Claim Bonus (NCB) if you have never claimed in the previous policy years. You can reduce the premium by 20-50% this way.
Decide on riders to boost the scope of cover. You can select NCB protection add-on, roadside assistance, and a few others.
Review your VW insurance quotation and make modifications if required.
Take a glance at various digital payment options before picking any.
After we receive payment confirmation, we will send an acknowledgement email and a soft copy of your Volkswagen insurance.
If the online process is too complex, you have two other options for renewing your policy. First, you can come to our branch and connect with one of our executives, who will help you choose the best plan and add-on. Another option is to purchase through our registered agent. Remember that buying through an agent increases the premium cost due to the involvement of their commission.
Volkswagen Car Insurance Cost– Your Premium Amount
Before you select the kind of four-wheeler insurance you require, you need to understand the factors that affect your premium. Tata AIG provides an online car insurance premium calculator that helps compute the car insurance premium for Volkswagen Passat.
The most important factors affecting the car insurance premium are:
Insured Declared Value -
Age of the Car
Insurance Coverage
Add-ons
Engine Capacity
Deductible
Claim History
IDV is the most important factor and refers to the current cost of the four-wheeler after reducing the depreciation value. It is the highest amount a car insurance claim can give in case your four-wheeler has been stolen or incurred a complete loss. Car insurance is directly proportional to the Insured Declared Value. The higher the IDV value, the higher the premium for the car to be insured.
Other Factors
Some other aspects affect the car insurance premium as well. Such factors include the following:
The owner's age.
Make & model of the car.
Modifications made to the four-wheeler.
Any added security features.
Location of the car's registration.
Car variant.
