Q: What is the approximate cost of purchasing an add-on cover to cover Hydrostatic Lock?
Ans. These are very cost effective. For a small compact car, this could come for as low as Rs. 700 to Rs. 1,000. For medium sized cars, it can go up to Rs. 3,000. For high-end premium cars, it could be well above Rs. 5,000. But, in general, they cost about 10% of the basic comprehensive cover for Own Damage.
