What is Usually NOT Covered in Car Insurance Policy?

Your auto insurance plan does not cover the following instances:

Car Insurance Add-ons You Can Choose From Us

No Claim Bonus Protection Cover

For every year where no claim is made by the policyholder, a discount called No Claim Bonus (NCB) of 10% to 50% allowed substantial discounts on the car insurance premium. But in the case of a claim made for the damaged car, the policyholder can miss out on the No-Claim Bonus. With a No Claim Bonus Protection Cover, you can continue to enjoy your no claim bonus after the claim as well.

Engine Protection Cover

Flooding or Oil Leakage can damage the car engine over time. Car insurance does not cover the charges of engine repair. An Engine Protection add-on provides cover to the expenses made on the repair of the engine and protects you from incurring additional costs later on.

Zero Depreciation Cover

Car Insurance Companies take into account the depreciated value of the car at the time of claim settlement. Without the Zero Depreciation Cover, all insurers are responsible for depreciating the parts of your car and pay your claim only after the depreciation amount has been deducted. The add-on does not remove any depreciation and you obtain more money in your claims.

Consumables Cover

When a car gets repaired, a number of consumable items are used like lubricants, nuts and bolts, engine oil, screw, oil filter, etc. The cost of these items is not covered under a car insurance policy and the policyholder has to bear the cost. The Consumables add-on cover reimburses the amount spent on consumables during the repair of the car.

Key Protection Cover

Car keys are not cheap and can cost up to ₹ 10,000 in some cases. In case of losing or misplacing your car keys, you do not have to bear additional charges for a new one if you opt for key protection cover. Under the Key Protection add-on, the cost of buying a new car key from the company’s service center is reimbursed by your car insurance company.

Personal Accident Cover

personal accident cover is an add-on benefit provided by the car insurance company to the owner-driver of the insured car to protect them from any type of bodily injury at the time of an accident. The Personal Accident Cover gives compensation to the owner-driver covering his bodily injury, disability or death in case of an accident. The cover can also be purchased for fellow passengers on an unnamed basis limited to the seating capacity of the vehicle. Under this, you can get access to coverage of up to ₹ 1 lakh per passenger.

Daily Allowance Benefit

Sometimes, you have to commute on your own after putting your car in a repair garage due to a sudden accident. In such a case, you bear the cost of travelling from your pocket. However, If you have this add-on the insurer provides you with a daily allowance for travelling benefits if your car is required to be in the garage for more than 3 days. (May change from insurer to insurer).

Cover for Car Accessories

A car comes with various accessories like a stereo set, reverse camera etc. Since the accessories are expensive, it makes them prone to damage and theft. With a simple car insurance add-on, you can cover your car accessories which may not be covered in your car insurance policy. The add-on provides reimbursement and additional coverage for these items.

How to Calculate Car Insurance Premium?

It is easy to find the premium amount using a Car Insurance Calculator online. Companies calculate car insurance premiums after taking into account various aspects. Following factors are considered by the auto insurance companies when deciding the insurance premium:

  • Insured Declared Value (IDV) of the Vehicle
  • Age and Type of Car
  • Engine’s Cubic Capacity
  • Geographical Zone

Formula for Car’s IDV calculation:

IDV = Car’s Showroom Price + Cost Accessories- Depreciation on Car
Thus, the formula for calculating Own Damage Premium Amount is:

OD = Insured Declared Value X [Car Premium as per the insurer)] + [ Optional Benefits] – [NCB/Discount etc.]

Why Do You Need to Renew Your Car Insurance Policy?

If your four wheeler insurance policy expires, you become prone to legal as well as financial risks. Here are the reasons you need to renew your private car insurance policy.

  • Legal Trouble:

Driving a car with an expired insurance policy can land you in legal penalties. Repeated offenses can also make you face imprisonment. In order to avoid these troubles, you need to renew your car insurance if it has expired.

  • No Claim and Coverage:

An expired car insurance policy provides no coverage to your vehicle. Thus you cannot make any insurance claims in case of damage or theft. You will have to bear all the expenses by yourself.

  • Long Renewal Process:

If you do not renew your four wheeler insurance on time, then the process might become difficult and take longer than usual. The delay might be because an inspection is required to renew the policy.

  • Loss of NCB:

You may also lose No Claim Bonus (NCB) of your car insurance if you do not renew your car insurance policy within 90 days of its expiry. This can be a huge loss for you as NCB helps lower the insurance premium for the next year.

  • Inspection Scope:

If your car insurance policy has expired, the insurance company would require your car for inspection. There might also be a price hike due to the inspection process done by the company and if your car is in bad shape or at risk.
