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 car 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.

Car insurance for EVs

Car insurance for electric vehicles (EVs) covers you financially for any damages caused to your electric four-wheeler by natural or man-made disasters. Like general car insurance, car insurance for EVs compensates for damages caused to your car and covers third-party liabilities as per the policy’s terms and conditions. If you own an EV, you can protect yourself financially from expensive repairs if it gets damaged with the help of car insurance for EVs.

What are the different types of car insurance policies?

Comprehensive car insurance vs Third party car insurance

Comprehensive Car Insurance Third-Party Car Insurance
Covers damages to your own car and third-party liabilities Covers third-party liabilities only
Provides complete protection for your car Only covers legal liabilities
May include add-ons like zero depreciation, roadside assistance, etc. Only includes mandatory third-party coverage as per law
Higher premium as compared to third-party insurance Lower premium as compared to comprehensive insurance
Can be purchased online or offline Mandatory needs to be purchased before registering a car

Comprehensive car insurance is a more comprehensive policy that covers not only third-party liabilities but also damage to your own vehicle. On the other hand, third-party car insurance only covers legal liabilities in case of an accident. Comprehensive car insurance also offers add-ons like zero depreciation and roadside assistance, whereas third-party insurance only includes mandatory coverage as per law.

Comprehensive car insurance has a higher premium as compared to third-party insurance, but it provides complete protection for your car. The choice between the two depends on your budget and the level of coverage you desire. You can easily buy car insurance online or offline, but third-party insurance is mandatory and needs to be purchased before registering a car.

Before buying car insurance online, read the policy details and fine print, and ask questions to clarify anything you need help understanding. Regularly reviewing your car insurance policy can help ensure that it continues to meet your needs and that you're not overpaying for coverage you don't need.

Things to keep in mind while buying a car insurance policy

Service benefits

Availability of cashless garages, easy claims process and reliable customer support are a must.

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
1st June 2022 (Rs.)
Not exceeding 1000 cc ₹2,094
Exceeding 1000 cc but not exceeding 1500 cc ₹3,416
Exceeding 1500 cc ₹7,897
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 car 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.

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 Bonus in Car Insurance

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 on your car insurance premium. 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.

How Does ICICI Lombard Car Insurance Work
IDV in Car Insurance

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

IDV in car insurance 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.

Why should you buy a comprehensive car insurance policy?

Third-party car insurance is mandatory

As per the Motor Vehicles Act of India, it is compulsory for all vehicles running on the road to be insured. As a car owner, you must have third party liability coverage.

Saves you from traffic fine

As per the new Motor Vehicle Act 2019, you can get a traffic fine of ₹2000 for driving without car insurance. If you get caught for a second time, the penalty would be ₹4000.

Provides personal accident coverage for
owner driver

Our car insurance policy provides ₹15 lakh coverage for injuries to the registered owner driver while travelling in the car, or getting in or off the car.

 

Gives easy access to cashless garages

We have a network of 5600+ cashless garages that take care of your car post damage. We pay for the repairs as per the claim and settle the dues directly with the garage.

Covers damages to the car

Our car insurance policy covers any damages to your car due to accidents or natural calamities and takes care of the repair costs.

New Car Insurance

New Car Insurance

If you’ve purchased a brand-new car, buying car insurance is the first thing. Compare quotes from multiple insurers and buy a policy that fits your requirements. It’s wise to opt for a comprehensive policy to remain adequately cushioned.

Old Car Insurance

Old Car Insurance

If you’ve got a second-hand car, it’s equally important to insure it. While doing so, consider the car’s age, your needs, IDV and add-ons, among others.

Pay As You Drive

Pay lower premiums for your car insurance with Pay As You Drive add-on

Pay-as-you-drive cover operates on the simple rule that you should pay less insurance price if you drive less. Since you are not out on the road often, you have a low accident risk, and your insurance bill should reflect the same.

Depending on your driving needs, you can opt for 5000 and 7500 km/year plans. If you exceed your plan's kilometers, you can top up your insurance coverage with more kilometers for that particular policy year.

Unlike other car insurance policies in the market, these newly introduced add-ons are designed to give you more control of your motor insurance costs.

Since standard car insurance premiums depend on geography, make-model, and age of the vehicle and are not based on their usage, most car owners who opted for Pay as you drive policy saved on their premiums.

Our experience with the Pay as you drive policy under the Sandbox regulation in 2020 also helped us learn that 56% of customers chose to Pay as you drive over conventional insurance due to its cost-effectiveness and usage-based premiums. In comparison, 22% bought this policy due to its telematics benefits.

How is the Insured Declared Value (IDV) of my vehicle decided and how does it impact my coverage?

The Insured’s Declared Value (IDV) of the vehicle will be deemed to be the ‘Sum Insured’ and it will be fixed at the commencement of each policy period for each insured vehicle.

The IDV of the vehicle (and accessories if any fitted to the vehicle) is to be fixed on the basis of the manufacturer’s listed selling price of the brand and model of the insured vehicle at the start of the insurance or renewal. The IDV would subsequently change according to the depreciation grid below for each one year block within the policy period for the insured vehicle. All ages of vehicles, provided they have a valid fitness certificate as required by law, will be covered by the aforementioned product.



THE SCHEDULE OF DEPRECIATION FOR FIXING IDV OF THE VEHICLE

AGE OF VEHICLE % OF DEPRECIATION FOR FIXING IDV
Not exceeding 6 months 5%
Exceeding 6 months but not exceeding 1 year 15%
Exceeding 1 year but not exceeding 2 years 20%
Exceeding 2 years but not exceeding 3 years 30%
Exceeding 3 years but not exceeding 4 years 40%
Exceeding 4 years but not exceeding 5 years 50%

The IDV arrived as per the above method may also be adjusted basis various factors such as location, usage, road type/ terrain etc, with agreement of the insured and as captured in the policy schedule.


The age-wise depreciation schedule shown above is applicable only for Total Loss/Constructive Total Loss (TL/CTL)/Cash Loss claims.


IDV of vehicles beyond 5 years of age and for obsolete models (i.e. models that manufacturers have discontinued) is to be determined on the basis of an agreement between the insurer and the insured.


IDV shall be treated as the Market Value throughout the policy period without any further depreciation for the purpose of Total Loss (TL)/Constructive Total Loss (CTL)/Cash loss claims.


The insured vehicle shall be treated as a CTL if the aggregate cost of retrieval and/or repair of the vehicle, subject to terms and conditions of the policy, exceeds 75% of the IDV of the vehicle.


The liability of the Company shall not exceed the Insured's Declared Value (IDV) of the vehicle in the event of total loss/ constructive total loss/cash loss for the year in which loss has occurred. In order to ascertain the Total IDV as on date of loss, Tenure-wise chart is accompanied in the policy schedule.



Insured Declared Value of Car = Manufacturer's listed selling price - Depreciation Value
For instance, if your car is less than 6 months of age and its current market value is Rs. 10,00,000 then at 5% rate of depreciation, the IDV would be around 9.5 lakhs. However, if the car is above 1-2 years, then at 20% rate, the IDV would be 8.0 lakh.


* The above provisions of Insured declared value are in line with the erstwhile India Motor Tariff

What criteria is considered to classify my Insured vehicle as a Total Loss, Constructive Total Loss, or Cash Loss?

The insured vehicle will be treated as a Total Loss / Constructive Total Loss / Cash-loss if the aggregate cost of retrieval and/or repair of the vehicle, subject to the policy's terms and conditions, exceeds 75% of the IDV of the vehicle.


As further guided by the Master Circular on General Insurance business, If a damaged motor vehicle is assessed as being unrepairable and hence a wreck i.e. a ‘total loss’ or ‘write-off’, the Insurer shall grant the Policyholder the option to retain the wreck and accept a ‘cash loss’ settlement (being the IDV less the assessed value of Salvage based on competitive quotes procured by the Insurer including any submitted by or through the Policyholder).


The liability of the Company shall not exceed the Insured's Declared Value (IDV) of the vehicle (including accessories thereon) as specified in the Schedule less the value of the wreck in the event of total loss / constructive total loss/cash loss for the year in which loss has occurred. In order to ascertain the Total IDV as on date of loss, Tenure-wise chart of IDV would be accompanied in the policy schedule.


In case of Total Theft of the vehicle, the liability of the Company shall not exceed the Insured's Declared Value (IDV) of the vehicle (including accessories thereon). However the company shall not be liable for Loss of or damage to accessories due to burglary, housebreaking, or theft unless the vehicle is stolen simultaneously.


* The above provisions for determining Total loss/Constructive total loss /Cash loss are in line with the erstwhile India Motor Tariff and as guided by the Master circular on General insurance products.
