Question

Hi, Recently my car lease got terminated & I was processing to get the RC transferred to my name. The RC got transferred sometime back while we were leaving on a vacation. So did not have time to get the insurance changed to my name.Unfortunately, we met with an accident during our vacation & now would like to claim insurance for the same. But the insurance company says we cannot claim insurance

Answer

This is the rule of car insurance. If your vehicle does not have a valid insurance policy, then you cannot claim for the same. Since your RC got changed only during your holiday, you should have waited to change the policy to your name before taking the car out of the garage. Because, once the damage is done, you cannot even get an insurance policy for yourself till the damage is repaired.
