Why Car Insurance Needed?

Comprehensive Damage Cover

However, taking up a car insurance policy that doesn't compensate your own damages seems pointless, doesn't it? A comprehensive damage cover was developed to offer a broad coverage against all possible damages arising from a variety of risks.

Our comprehensive car insurance policy offers protection against damages caused to your car by way of risks such as collisions, theft, fire and so on. Additionally, a comprehensive car insurance policy also covers third-party liabilities and offers extensive protection for your car.

Car Insurance Things To Know!

Information is the key to make the right decisions. To ensure that you make an informed purchase, we have explained the essential car insurance concepts right here: -

What is IDV?

The IDV (Insured Declared Value) is the current market value of the car which is calculated after deducting the depreciation amount. It is a crucial component of the car insurance policy as it determines the amount of compensation. In case of theft or total destruction of the car, the IDV is offered as "Sum Insured".

What is No Claim Bonus?

When you don't file a claim during your policy period, you will be eligible for a discount on your next premiums which is referred to as a No-Claim Bonus. This discount will keep increasing progressively for each claim-free year until the car insurance premium is reduced up to 50%.

What are the different kinds of add-on covers available?

We offer a wide range of add-on covers to ensure superior protection from a variety of risks. You can opt for add-on covers such as Nil-Dep cover (Zero Depreciation), NCB retention cover (avail the NCB despite registering a claim), 24x7 Roadside Assistance, Personal Accident cover (covers personal damages), electrical/electronic accessories cover and many more. Refer to our add-on cover section, for more details.

How will a Zero Depreciation Cover Help you?

You may already know that the monetary value of your car reduces overtime. This eventuality is a result of asset depreciation. Nevertheless, with Reliance General Car Insurance policy, you can combat the losses of depreciation by taking up a zero depreciation add-on cover along with your car insurance. With a zero depreciation cover, you can be assured that the entire claim amount will be paid to you without deducting the depreciation sum.

How Is A Car Insurance Premium Calculated?

Your car insurance premium is calculated based on several factors such as: -
1. Car Manufacturer and Model e.g. Honda City
2. Cubic capacity (cc) e.g. 1497 CC
3. Age of the Car e.g. 3 Years 
4. Insured Declared Value (IDV) - This is the current market value of your car which is calculated after deducting depreciation.
5. No Claim Bonus (NCB) - NCB is a discount that you get on your premium amount when you have made any claims during your previous policy period. This Discount will keep increasing progressively for each claim-free year until the car insurance premium is reduced up to 50%. 
6. Tax - The appropriate taxes that are eligible to be levied on your premium amount (9% CGST and 9% SGST in India)
The premium amount to be paid is calculated as: Premium Estimate = IDV*Age of Car – NCB + Tax. Other factors like add-on covers, discounts, purpose of the vehicle and safety features such as airbags and anti-theft devices will also be taken into consideration while calculating your car insurance premium.

These fatalities are only expected to rise in the future.
We don't mean to scare you by these grim statistics. The statistics reflect the kind of dangers that the roads entail. Hence, It's better to be safe than sorry!

Documents Required To Buy Car Insurance Online.

Purchasing motor insurance online requires minimal documentation. If you are buying a new insurance policy, then you need to fill a proposal form and a copy of the Registration Certificate (RC). Every vehicle owner (private or Non- Commercial Vehicle) is required to register his vehicle at the nearest RTO (Regional Transport Office).

In case of renewals, you need to provide a copy of the Registration Certificate (RC) along with the previous insurance Policy. It is advisable for you to fill your details carefully as by providing the accurate and complete information you will face no issues at the time of a claim.

Things To Consider Before Buying Car Insurance Plan

Brand:

While buying a policy it is vital to pay attention to the reputation of the Insurance Company. You must check the company's record and claim ratio. An insurance company with a bad claims ratio would not be advisable when buying a vehicle insurance policy.

Voluntary Excess:

According to the experts, the voluntary excess should be less than the NCB amount you will qualify for next year.

Safety features:

If your car has any safety feature like Alarm, Immobilizer then you can get a great discount.

NCB:

It is advisable that you do not claim for minor damages and repairs which you can pay from your own pocket and which does not add any additional burden on you. It is advisable if you save your NCB for future requirements which may require higher cost spends.

Network garages:

The aim of buying car insurance policy is to protect you from any financial emergency in case of any damage/loss of your vehicle. Most online companies provide cashless services only if your vehicle was repaired in a Network Garage. Therefore, look for insurers with maximum Network Garages present in their list.

Linking of Aadhaar with Insurance Policy Is Mandatory, Says IRDA November 13, 2017

On Wednesday, 8th Nov 2017, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDA) said that the linking of Aadhar number with insurance plans is compulsory and asked insurance companies to implement the statutory norms.

"The Authority clarifies that, linkage of Aadhaar number to insurance policies is mandatory under the Prevention of Money Laundering (Maintenance of Records) Second Amendment Rules, 2017," the IRDA said.

In the last June, the government of India had informed about the Prevention of Money Laundering (Maintenance of Records) Second Amendment Rules, 2017, making Aaadhar and PAN/Form 60 compulsory for getting financial services that include insurance also and asked policyholders and companies for linking the existing policies with the same.

In a discussion with all life and general insurance companies, IRDA said the rules have "statutory force" and they have to implement the rule without waiting for the further instructions.

Right now, there are 24 life insurers and 33 general insurance companies operating in the country.

Although, there are no deadlines that have been given by IRDA for the completion of the process, as per the circular, it has to be done as soon as possible. Some insurance companies also said that this can also result in the delay of payout in a few cases. Aadhaar is now also compulsory for financial transactions of Rs 50,000 and above. Likewise, one has to link one's Aadhaar number with the mobile number latest by February 6, 2018.
