What is Car Insurance?

Car Insurance is a type of insurance policy which protects you from financial loss in case of theft or damage caused to or by the car . In case the car is stolen, or is damaged due to an accident or causes damage to someone else's life or property, the car insurance will provide the cover. In such a situation the losses borne by the owner may be compensated by the insurance company if the same is covered under car insurance policy. It is mandatory to have a third party insurance by law.

Types of Car Insurance Policies

Third Party Policy

This covers the damage that your car may cause to other people's life or property. This type of car insurance is mandatory by law. This is popularly known as TP policy.

Own Damage Policy

This covers the damage or theft of your car. You could be involved in an accident or your car may even be damaged when you car was parked safely - this cover ensures that the financial cost of repair is covered by the insurance company. This is popularly known as OD policy.

Comprehensive Policy

This cover is a combination of Third Party Cover & Own Damage cover. It is the most popular type of cover as it covers all risk scenarios.

Add-On Covers in Car Insurance Policy

Zero depreciation

Whenever parts need replacement, the insurance company will only pay for the depreciated value and the balance will need to be paid by you. With this add-on cover, the complete price of the new replaced part will be borne by the insurer.

Roadside Assistance

In case you are stuck in some place and your car will just not start, this cover will provide assistance in the form of towing, puncture repair, minor repairs or emergency fuel.

Engine Protection Cover

In case the engine is damaged due to oil leakages, natural calamities or water seepage, this cover will provide the added protection.

Accessories Cover

You can additionally cover any accessories fitted on your car.

Return to Invoice cover

In case of theft or total damage of your car, this cover will provide the price mentioned in the invoice rather than the depreciated value of the vehicle.

Tyre Damage Cover

In case of damage to your tyre, this cover will bear the cost of replacement.

NCB Protection Cover

Normally you are eligible for a no-claims bonus only if you do not make a claim in your policy. With this add-on cover, you will get the no-claim bonus discount even if you have made a claim in the policy.

Key Loss Cover

In case you lose the key to your car, you will not have to bear the expenses, which sometimes goes to a few thousand rupees. With this cover, the cost of key replacement is borne by the insurance company.

FAQ's on Car Insurance

angle right icon

Why should you buy a Comprehensive Car Insurance Policy?

It is better to buy a comprehensive car insurance policy as it covers all types of risk for the car. Buying a Third Party Only policy will meet the legal requirement but you will have to bear the cost of any repair which your car may need. Also, you will be tempted to go in for local repairs to save money and hence get a lower quality of repair over a period of time.
