FAQs

What is motor insurance, and why is it necessary?

Plus
Motor insurance provides financial protection against losses or damages to your vehicle and third-party liabilities arising from accidents, theft, or natural disasters. In India, it is legally mandatory to have at least third-party liability insurance to drive on public roads.

What are the different types of motor insurance policies available in India?

Plus

In India, the primary types of motor insurance policies are:

  • Third-Party Liability Insurance: Covers legal liabilities for injuries or damages caused to a third party.
  • Comprehensive Insurance: Provides extensive coverage, including third-party liabilities and damages to your own vehicle due to accidents, theft, or natural calamities.

How is the premium for motor insurance determined?

Plus
Premiums are calculated based on factors such as the vehicle's make and model, age, Insured Declared Value (IDV), geographical location, type of coverage, add-on covers, and the policyholder's driving history.

What is a No Claim Bonus (NCB), and how does it benefit me?

Plus
A No Claim Bonus (NCB) is a discount on the premium awarded for each claim-free year. It rewards safe driving and can significantly reduce your premium over time.

Can I transfer my motor insurance policy if I sell my vehicle?

Plus
Yes, you can transfer your motor insurance policy to the new owner of the vehicle. It's essential to inform the insurance company and complete the necessary documentation to ensure a smooth transfer.

What should I do if my motor insurance policy expires?

Plus
If your policy expires, renew it at the earliest to avoid driving without coverage, which is illegal. Some insurers offer a grace period, but it's advisable not to delay renewal to maintain continuous protection.

Are add-on covers necessary, and which ones should I consider?

Plus
Add-on covers enhance your policy by providing additional protection. Common add-ons include Zero Depreciation Cover, Roadside Assistance, Engine Protection, and Consumables Cover. Assess your needs and vehicle usage to determine which add-ons are beneficial for you.

How do I file a motor insurance claim in case of an accident?

In the event of an accident, inform your insurance company immediately. Provide necessary documents such as the claim form, FIR (if required), and photographs of the damage. The insurer will guide you through the claim process, including vehicle inspection and repairs.
