Car Insurance Policy Online

What is car insurance?

A comprehensive car insurance policy, also known as motor package insurance, saves you money when your car is damaged in an accident or natural calamity. It also covers your vehicle against theft and burglary. At times, you may end up hurting others or damaging property in an accident. A car insurance policy covers such third party liabilities as well. If you own a car in India, having third party insurance is a must for you. That’s why it’s crucial to buy and renew your policy on time to stay on the right side of the law and be covered against car damages. At an affordable premium, our reliable car insurance policy protects you against all these risks so that you can drive worry-free. Apart from comprehensive car insurance, third-party only and own-damage only car insurance policies are also available. You can choose the policy type as per your needs.

Right Insured Declared Value (IDV)

While you can save on premium by choosing a lower IDV, it will serve you good at the time of claim if you get an IDV close to your car’s market value while buying the policy.

How is car insurance premium calculated?

Your car insurance premium includes three major components:

1

Third-party liability premium – this is stipulated by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), and it is directly proportional to your car’s cubic capacity.

Cubic capacity Premium with effect from 16th June 2019 (Rs.)
Not exceeding 1000 cc ₹2,072
Exceeding 1000 cc but not exceeding 1500 cc ₹3,221
Exceeding 1500 cc ₹7,890
2

Own damage premium – this is calculated as IDV X [Tariff Rate] – [Discounts] + Add On Covers

3

Personal accident cover premium + Additional covers

Factors that affect these three components and your final car insurance price, include:

  • IDV – IDV is the maximum amount you can claim under your policy. The higher your car’s market value, the higher your IDV and premium will be.
  • Make and model - Higher-end models are insured at a higher price, simply because the cost of repairs/replacement for such vehicle is higher.
  • Fuel type - Repairing petrol-fuelled cars is cheaper than those that run on diesel and CNG. As a result, they are also less expensive to insure.
  • Year of manufacture – Certain new cars may be costly to cover since their spare parts may not be available yet.
  • Location - Since urban areas have denser traffic, there’s a greater probability of accidental damages. Thus your premium may vary depending on your location.
  • Claim history – If you have made no auto insurance claims in the past year, you stand to gain a No Claim Bonus on your premium.
  • Add-ons – A small additional cost will be included in your premium for the add-ons you pick.
IDV in Car Insurance

What factors impact Insured’s
Declared Value (IDV)?

IDV plays a key role in determining your car insurance price

In a car insurance policy, the Insured’s Declared Value (IDV) is the fixed value at which we insure your vehicle. We calculate the policy sum insured based on the manufacturer's listed selling price of the vehicle + the listed cost of any accessories. We derive the amount after deducting the depreciation for every year as per the Indian Motor Tariff.

Suppose you have installed any electronic item in the car, which is not included in the manufacturer's listed selling price. In that case, we add the actual value (after depreciation) of the item to the policy sum insured over and above the IDV.

How can you save on your car insurance premium?

No matter what type of car you drive, certain discounts can bring down your car insurance price -

No Claim BonusF (NCB)

If you made no claims in the past years, you get up to 50% NCB.

Security measures

If you’ve taken special measures to keep your car from getting stolen, you are eligible for a discount. Typically, you would receive a 2.5% discount for fitting an anti-theft device (approved by ARAI) on your car.

It is unwise to reduce IDV to save on premium. In case of an accident, you would find yourself at a disadvantage. Instead, ride safe and take security measures to get discounts on car insurance.
