  2. A Guide to Choose Your Car Insurance Policy! Buying car insurance is not only a legal requirement, but also a wise decision to keep your valuable asset safe and secure. It is not correct to just buy any policy with the lowest premium. The focus should be on buying the best auto insurance for your vehicle following a clearly thought-out plan based on practical facts. There are certain considerations to be kept in mind when you decide to buy a plan for the car so that your hard earned money and investment in the car as well as the policy doesn’t go waste. Let’s share with you a few pointers that will help you massively while you go scouting for an insurance cover for your car: • 1) Selecting Insurance • There are two types of car insurance in India:

  3. Third Party Liability Insurance This is a compulsory plan for all vehicle owners and it covers damage to property, accidental death and injury to a third party to the contract. The first two parties are the insured and the insurance provider. (ii) Comprehensive Plan This is a plan that may be bit expensive, but it covers damage to own vehicle as well as the third party obligations. It also covers theft and damages caused by events like fire, earthquake, cyclones, floods etc. 2) Premium This is what interests most people while buying auto insurance. This amount is calculated based on certain factors, which are described below:

  4. Based on Vehicle Depending on the age, make, fuel type, etc. of the vehicle, the premium amount is established. Certain vehicles like SUVs or vehicles running on diesel compared to petrol command higher premiums than their counterparts. Also, at the time of renewal, the age of the vehicle and its depreciation play an important role while calculating premiums. You have to get your car properly inspected so as to arrive at a figure that works to your advantage, providing adequate cover at the lowest possible premium. (ii) Based on Location The place where you live also affects the premium on your car insurance policy. For example, if you’re living in a part of the city where auto theft is rampant, then chances is that the premium will be higher. Also, locations like dense localities, places near highways, etc. attract higher premiums.

  5. (iii)  Based on Claims History If you have filed for claims in the previous year, there is a good possibility that when you go for renewal, the premium charged to you would be on the higher side. Unclaimed policies lead to no claim bonus the following year and this policy is followed by all insurance companies. 3) Ways to Reduce Premium There are some smart decisions that you can take to reduce the premium on your car insurance policy. If you decide to pay for some petty expenses out of your pocket and buy a car insurance policy only for major damages, you can reduce the premium amount substantially. (iv) Based on Driver A car that is driven by multiple people may attract a higher premium compared to single-driver run car. The idea of car insurance is not only to make life easy for you, but also to cover all possible risks for an insurance provider too.

  6. 4) Precautions There are some common mistakes we commit while buying the car insurance. First of all, reducing the value of the car while declaring in the form. This might help initially to reduce the premium, but in case of an accident, this proves real costly. Hence, always try to provide the right value of the car to gain maximum benefits at the time of an accident. Also, never forget to renew your policy on time. An insurance provider usually provides a grace period of a week from date of expiry of policy. Post that, you stand to lose discounts and other premium benefits on the new policy. Car insurance in India is a legal binding and rightly so. However, whom to buy it from and how, depends entirely on the buyer. Appreciate this freedom of choice and do a thorough research to buy the best policy for your car.
