Motor insurance in India is a legal requirement for vehicle owners and offers financial protection against various risks. Here’s a breakdown of the key aspects:
Legal Requirement: This is the minimum coverage required by law in India. It covers damages to third parties (other people or their property) if you're at fault in an accident.
Coverage: It includes coverage for bodily injury or death to third parties and property damage caused to others. However, it does not extend to damage sustained by your own vehicle or any injuries you may incur
Coverage:This provides broader protection compared to third-party insurance. It covers:
Own Damage: Repairs or replacement costs for your own vehicle if damaged or stolen.
Third-Party Liability: As described above.
Additional Coverage: Repairs or replacement costs for your own vehicle if damaged or stolen.
This policy covers only the damage to your own vehicle, not third-party liabilities. It's useful if you already have a third-party policy and want additional protection for your vehicle.
This policy provides coverage exclusively for damage to your own vehicle and does not include protection for third-party liabilities. It is beneficial if you already have a third-party policy and seek extra protection for your own vehicle.
The cost of insurance varies based on the type of coverage, vehicle make/model, age, and location. Comprehensive policies are generally more expensive than third-party policies.
If you don’t make any claims during a policy year, you can earn a discount on your premium for the next policy period. This discount can increase with each claim-free year.
You can enhance your coverage with add-ons like:
To make a claim, you need to report the incident to your insurer, provide necessary documents (like FIR, repair bills, etc.), and follow their process for inspection and settlement.
Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI): This body regulates motor insurance policies and ensures that insurance providers adhere to guidelines and standards.
Telematics-Based Insurance: Some insurers are offering policies that use telematics (tracking your driving behavior) to determine premiums, rewarding safe driving with lower rates.
Digital Platforms: Many insurers now offer online policy purchases, renewals, and claims processes, making it easier for customers to manage their insurance needs.
