Add On Coverage

Repair of Glass, Fibre, Plastic and Rubber Parts

Under this cover the ‘No Claim Bonus’ will not be impacted if repair rather than replacement is opted for damage to only Glass, Fibre, Plastic and Rubber parts provided no other claim for damage to the vehicle is preferred during the policy period. This cover is free.

No Claim Bonus Protection

This is a protection against No Claim Bonus even if there has been a claim in the previous year.

Loss of Personal Belongings

This cover pays for the loss or damage to personal belongings inside a vehicle at the time of loss or damage to the vehicle in excess of Rs. 250.

Emergency Transport and Hotel Expenses

This cover pays the cost of overnight stay and taxi charges for returning to the place of residence or the nearest city of travel, if the vehicle becomes immobile due to an accident.

Key Replacement

This cover pays the cost to replace vehicle keys if lost or stolen, plus the cost of locks if the vehicle is broken into.

Depreciation Reimbursement

This cover offers full claim without any deduction for depreciation on the value of parts replaced. The cover is available for vehicles up to 3 years old and operates for maximum 2 claims during the policy period.

Daily Allowance

This cover pays a fixed sum towards hiring a transport while the vehicle is under repair for a valid claim and the repair time is more than 3 days. The cover will be valid for maximum 10 days and in case of Total Loss / Theft claims, validity will be up to 15 days.

Return to Invoice

This cover pays the difference between the ‘claim amount receivable’ under the policy and the ‘purchase price of vehicle’ as per invoice in case the vehicle is declared a Total Loss or a Constructive Total Loss. The cover also pays first time registration charges and road tax on the insured vehicle. Cover is available for vehicles up to 3 years old.

How it works

In this plan, premium needs to be paid every year to renew the plan. If there has been no claim in the previous year from this insurer or any, a No Claim Bonus is also payable.

Each vehicle has a Sum Assured which is called the Insured's Declared Value (IDV) of the vehicle. This is the total value of the car as declared at the beginning of the policy. It is calculated on the basis of the manufacturer's listed selling price of the brand and model as the vehicle insured at the commencement of the policy after deducting depreciation. Electronic items, theft kit, LPG/CNG kit, etc. can be added to the sum insured over and above the IDV.

In case of a claim, a cashless facility is provided in network garages or a reimbursement can be done within 7 days.
