What is Car Insurance?

Let’s get you started on your car insurance journey!

Car insurance or four-wheeler insurance is a personalised agreement between a car owner and an insurer that offers extensive financial protection in case of inconvenience due to unforeseen events like accidents, injuries, natural calamities, etc., to protect you from a financial burden. Accidents happen due to a combination of external factors, leaving you with a damaged car, personal injuries and hefty expenses for repairing the incurred damage. However, with a product like car insurance, you can benefit from a safety net to cover the repair and replacement expenses while securing your finances. We offer three types of car insurance plans: third-party, standalone own-damage and comprehensive. In addition to the policy type, many other factors determine the final premium value for your personalised plan, which can be very low for base policy and costlier based on type and number of add-ons. In accordance with the Motor Vehicle Act of 1988, you must have a valid third-party insurance policy to take your car on the road, avoid a fine, and get financial support for third-party liabilities. Own damage policy protects only the insured car against the incurred damage. In contrast, comprehensive car insurance covers damages to both your vehicle and third-party vehicles and property as a combination. Remember, 4-wheeler car insurance isn’t just about car protection. It is also about protecting your finances from incurred costs, ensuring your and your dependents’ safety, and providing peace of mind while driving. Keep a check on the policy validity, as if you fail to renew your car insurance before its expiry date, you can attract unlimited fines. Ensure your car’s safety and your financial security with our customisable car insurance plans. Stay protected, stay secure and enjoy the peace of mind you deserve.

Why Do You Need Comprehensive Car Insurance?

Car insurance or a four-wheeler policy is necessary to protect your car and you from various situations and scenarios that lead to financial damages. Here are some of the reasons why you need to have a third-party or comprehensive four-wheeler insurance policy:

Compliance Requirements

Comprehensive car insurance lets you satisfy the compulsory legal requirements. The Motor Vehicles Act mandates that all vehicles have basic third-party insurance coverage to avoid any fines or penalties, along with third-party liability.

Cover for Third-Party Liabilities

Comprehensive insurance ensures financial protection against any damage incurred by a third party or their property due to your insured car (up to ₹7.5 lakhs). The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal decides the third-party claim amount and settlement.

Own Damage Cover

Beyond the legal requirements, comprehensive plans also safeguard your car from damages due to accidents, natural or man-made disasters, etc. Further, it protects against the financial loss of your car being stolen, securing your investment.

Personal Accident Cover

You get financial assistance up to ₹15 lakhs for loss of income or medical expenses in case you or the vehicle driver incurs severe injuries in an accident, resulting in partial disability, complete disability, or death.

Customisation Flexibility

To increase the coverage of a comprehensive plan, you can combine as many add-ons as required from a list of 19 options. These include engine protection, tyre protection, roadside assistance, key replacement cover, etc.

Points To Consider While Choosing Car Insurance

The process of buying car insurance is simple but takes time and quite a bit of research. Tata AIG understands the importance of having a suitable four wheeler insurance policy and offers car insurance policies that cater to varying individual needs and budgets. Below are some points you should consider when you buy car insurance:

Decide Insurance Type

While choosing four wheeler insurance, you can choose between a basic third party liability cover and a comprehensive insurance cover. While having a basic third-party insurance cover is a legal compulsion and covers damages caused only to a third party individual or property, a comprehensive car four-wheeler policy offers more extensive cover that offers protection against accidental damage, damages due to loss and theft, natural and man-made disasters and also offers a personal accident cover. We at TATA AIG also provide varied types of car insurance such as Comprehensive Car Insurance Policy, Stand Alone Own Damage Car Insurance Policy, and Third Party Car Insurance Policy. This array of choices so that you can find the car insurance type that best suits you and your car’s needs.

Check Policy Coverage

The policy coverage of your car insurance policy will depend mainly on your needs and your budget. Apart from that, your car’s make and model, the area you live in and other factors will affect the policy coverage. While choosing a suitable insurance policy, you can use the Tata AIG car insurance calculator to calculate and compare the coverage of various policies before making an informed decision.

Availability of Add-ons

While you buy car insurance online or renew your policy, you can consider extending or enhancing your policy cover with the help of appropriate add-ons. We offer a set of 19 unique add-ons such as Key Replacement, Return to Invoice, Engine Secure and more, that meet various situations outside the scope of your car insurance policy. A selection of the appropriate add-ons in your car insurance policy can provide an all-round protection to your four wheeler.

Check Insured Declared Value

The IDV or Insured Declared Value of the car is its current market value. When calculating your car insurance, the IDV is important as it is the amount your car is insured for. In case of “total loss” - complete damage or theft of the car - the policyholder receives the Insured Declared Value when the claim is settled. Always select the IDV carefully as a lower IDV means insufficient compensation in the event of total loss, even though it means lower policy premiums. On the other hand, a higher IDV could mean paying more expensive premiums.

Network of Cashless Garages

If you want to repair your car in case of minor or major damages, then you could visit your insurance provider’s network garages to have the damages repaired. By doing so, you can avail of the cashless claims, wherein, the insurer will directly pay the cost of repairs to the garage, and you won’t have to splurge exorbitant amounts on your repairs!

Compare Quotes

Tata AIG’s online Car Insurance Calculator makes it easy for you to compare different four-wheeler insurance policies online. Depending on your budget and requirements, you can choose the insurance amount, the add-ons and then compare different plans to find the appropriate one to protect your car.

Check Claim Settlement Ratio, review, and service offered

The claim settlement ratio of a company is an important factor to be considered while purchasing your car insurance. If your insurer’s claim settlement ratio is high, it indicates a better chance of your claims being settled on time. Similarly, the service offered by the insurance company directly affects customer loyalty and should be checked before you buy a four-wheeler insurance policy from the company.

Types of Car Insurance Policies by TATA AIG

Tata AIG offers many types of car insurance policies, each designed to address the varying needs of car owners and the coverage they need:

Comprehensive Car Insurance Policy

The comprehensive car insurance policy offers extensive coverage as compared to a basic third party four wheeler insurance and offers protection against third-party liabilities as well as damage due to accidents, loss of the car, natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, cyclones, etc. and man-made disasters. However, damages due to driving under the influence of substances and driving outside of the designated geographical area are not covered under a comprehensive four wheeler insurance policy.

Stand Alone Own Damage Car Insurance Policy

If the insured car, bought after September 2018, suffers a financial loss as a result of accidental damage, the own damage cover takes care of the damages caused only to the insured car. This policy does not cover losses incurred by third parties and also is only applicable to cars bought after September 2018.

Stand Alone Third Party Car Insurance Policy

The standalone third party car insurance policy is a basic but legally mandatory car insurance policy. It protects you from the legal and financial liabilities that arise from damages caused to a third-party person or property by your insured car. However, this policy does not cover any damages to the insured car.

Third-party vs Comprehensive Car Insurance

The two primary types of car insurance available in India are - comprehensive car insurance & third-party car insurance. To choose the right policy for your needs, you need to understand the difference between third-party and comprehensive insurance policies. Here is a comparative study to help you make a decision:

Comprehensive

Third Party

What does it mean?

Comprehensive car insurance is an all-round coverage that protects your car and third parties from any financial loss incurred due to damage to any parties involved, i.e. you, your car, a third party, or third party property.

A third-party car insurance policy is a basic coverage policy that protects you and your car from third party liabilities.

What is the extent of coverage?

This policy provides coverage for third-party liability, damages to your car, incidents of theft, accidents and damages caused by natural calamities or man-made disasters.

This policy takes care of third-party damages such as injury to a 3rd party, death of a third party or damages to third party property.

Is It Legally Mandated?

No, it is not legally required.

Yes, it is legally mandated to carry as per Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.

Is it Expensive?

Due to the extent of coverage, comprehensive car insurance is more expensive as compared to third party car insurance policy.

As it provides basic coverage, it is not expensive.

What is excluded?

Damage to your car from driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, damages from driving outside the designated geographical location, and wear & tear of the vehicle.

Damage to you or your vehicle is not covered in third party car insurance.

Are there Add-on covers?

You can choose from 19 add-ons such as roadside assistance, no claim bonus, consumables coverage, etc.

Tata AIG Car Insurance Add-on Covers

Add-on covers are additional benefits you can add to your car insurance or four wheeler insurance to enhance the protection offered by your policy. Tata AIG offers 19 such add-ons that you can choose from:

Zero Depreciation (Depreciation Reimbursement)

When you file a claim for damages, a zero depreciation or nil depreciation (Depreciation Reimbursement) add-on enables you to be reimbursed for the deducted cost of depreciation on your car’s parts. Hence, you can receive the complete sum insured without the deduction of the depreciation. However, you can avail of this benefit only for the first two claims that are filed. This add-on is only applicable to your own-damage car insurance policy or comprehensive car insurance policy.

Roadside Assistance Cover

Roadside assistance is an add-on that provides round-the-clock breakdown assistance to your insured car and you if the car breaks down in a remote location with no aid nearby. Your insurance provider will send a team to refuel, tow, or offer a mechanic’s services in an emergency.

No Claim Bonus (NCB) Protection

The No Claim Bonus or NCB Protection cover enables the policyholder to file a certain number of car insurance claims during the policy year while retaining the NCB discount. This add-on is helpful if you want to file a claim and also protect your NCB discount. However, there is a limit on the number of claims that can be raised with this add-on. The NCB Protection is available only with a comprehensive car insurance policy.

Engine Protection Cover

The Engine Secure cover protects one of the most expensive parts of your car - the car’s engine. If you stay in a flood-prone area, this add-on helps you file a claim for repairing or replacing the engine without incurring an extra cost. The comprehensive four-wheeler insurance policy does not cover your engine’s protection.

Consumables Cover

With this add-on, we cover the cost of the consumables in your insured car that are lost and have to be replaced due to an accident. Consumables include air conditioner gas, engine oil, gearbox oil, nuts and bolts, oil filters, and so on. However, this add-on does not cover the cost of fuel.

Compulsory Personal Accident (Owner-Driver)

This type of cover in a third-party or comprehensive car insurance policy offers compensation up to ₹15 lakhs to a policyholder in the event of disability due to a car accident with the insured car involved. In case of accidental death involving the insured vehicle of the policyholder, the compensation is given to the policyholder’s family.

Personal Accident Cover for Passengers

With Tata AIG, you can also add an optional cover – Liability to Unnamed Passengers – if you need added coverage over the Personal Accident Cover. The compensation under this add-on can be up to ₹X. This will allow you to safeguard your co-passengers in case of unfortunate accidents leading to severe injuries for them.

Repair of Glass Fibre and Plastic Parts

This add-on allows you to get the damaged glass, fibre, and plastic parts repaired from the garage and then raise a claim for the damages without affecting your No Claim Bonus discount. However, for each policy year, only one repair claim is allowed against your comprehensive four-wheeler insurance policy.

Daily Allowance

If your car has an accident and is required to stay in the garage for a long time, the Daily Allowance add-on provides you with an amount for your travels without your car. The amount is payable for 10-15 days, subject to the cause of the four-wheeler insurance claim.

Emergency Transport and Hotel Expenses

Suppose your car is involved in an accident, and you are unable to reach your destination. In that case, this add-on pays for your overnight accommodation in a hotel and the travel charges to return home or to the city closest to your destination.

Tyre Secure

With this add-on, you can cover the repair or replacement of a damaged tyre or the tube. However, this add-on can only protect the financial losses in case of loss or damage to the tyres and tubes in an accident.

Key Replacement

The key replacement add-on covers the cost of replacing your lost car keys in case the car or key is stolen.

Loss of Personal Belongings

This add-on helps cover the loss or damage of personal belongings such as clothes, videotapes, audio tapes, and CDs in case of an accident. However, it does not cover the loss or damage of belongings such as debit and credit cards, jewellery, money, watches, etc.

Return to Invoice

When you file a claim for the total loss of your car due to theft or complete damage, this add-on helps cover the difference (due to depreciation) in the cost between the purchase price and the compensation amount. Also, if a new car of the same make and model is available, we will reimburse the difference between the claim amount and the cost of the new model. We will also pay for the registration charges and the road tax you have paid for the car.

Emergency Medical Expenses

With this add-on, you can benefit from financial support for medical emergencies in case you, the driver, or a car passenger has sustained severe bodily injuries due to an accident. Within this cover, you get support for ambulance charges and up to ₹5000 or 5% of the total sum assured (whichever is lesser) towards the cost of supporting items for movement like wheelchairs, crutches, artificial limbs, etc.

Electrical Surge Cover - for ElectrIc Cars

With this specific add-on cover for electric vehicles, you can benefit from partial or total compensation in case of loss or damage to your car due to self-heating, water ingression, short circuits, leakage of electricity, and damage to charging equipment arising out of arcing.

Vehicle Loan Protector

This add-on helps pay off the policyholder’s car loan in specific situations. It applies if the owner-driver dies or is permanently disabled due to an accident involving the insured vehicle, provided the vehicle is damaged by a covered peril in Section I of the policy.

Misfueling

If your car receives contaminated or incorrect fuel, causing damage, this cover will help you get the necessary support for repair or replacement expenses and flush out the incorrect fuel. Moreover, if you submit the necessary bill, you can also receive compensation of up to ₹2000 for the wrong/contaminated fuel.

Factors Affecting Car Insurance Premium

Most car insurance policy purchases are decided on the cost of the four-wheeler insurance policy. Owner-drivers compare car insurance policies based on the premium to be paid and generally choose the lowest priced one. Therefore, if you wish to choose a cost-effective car insurance plan, you need to know the factors affecting the premium. Here they are:

Car's Engine Capacity

The size of the engine will influence your car insurance premium. Cars with higher cubic capacity engines will attract higher premiums for a car insurance policy than cars with lower engine capacity. Additionally, the IRDAI declares the annual third-party car insurance premium rates based on the engine cubic capacity of the vehicle.

Insurance Coverage

The type of policy you purchase for your car decides the cost of the car insurance policy premium. A policy such as third-party insurance would cover only the third-party liabilities, which will come at cheaper premiums. Meanwhile, a comprehensive car insurance policy will cost more as it would cover all parties involved—you, your car, third-party, and third-party property. Meanwhile, our other types of insurance, such as standalone own-damage policies, provide a gamut of cover options, which in turn deliver options in premium amounts.

Insured Declared Value (IDV)

Insured Declared Value (IDV) is the approximate current market value of the car after accounting for depreciation. IDV is the maximum amount you can claim if your four-wheeler is stolen or has suffered a total loss. Your car insurance is directly proportionate to your IDV, meaning a higher IDV results in higher car insurance premiums.

Add-ons

Your car insurance premium amount will increase when you opt for add-ons with your comprehensive car insurance policy. Different add-ons provide different types of additional cover for your four-wheeler to enhance vehicle protection, and your premium will depend on the number and types of add-ons you have chosen.

Age of The Car

The age of the car affects the premium of a four-wheeler insurance policy. Insurance premiums are higher for brand-new cars and cheaper for older ones. Since the value of your vehicle depreciates every year, the IDV/Insured declared value reduces along with the policy premium.

aims History

Car owners who have not made claims in a given year can avail of a No Claim Bonus (NCB) when renewing the policy. NCB is a progressive discount on the renewal premium for a car insurance policy, which goes up with each claim-free year. Five consecutive no-claim years can fetch you a decent discount of 50% on the car insurance renewal premium.

Deductibles

Deductibles denote the percentage of claim amount paid by the policyholder from their own pockets. A higher voluntary deductible means a lower premium as the proportion of the insurer’s liability goes down. However, a higher deductible also means a higher proportion of the claim that needs to be paid by you. So, choose well.

Geographical Location + Other Factors

Some other factors that affect the premium of a car insurance plan are the age of the owner, location where the vehicle is registered, make, model and variant of the car, any modifications made to the vehicle and if the car has additional security features. These factors can decrease or increase the premium you have to pay for your car insurance policy.

How to Calculate Car Insurance Premium?

The car insurance premium drives the choice of a four-wheeler insurance policy by individuals. As seen in the above section, there are many factors that affect this premium. But do you know how you can calculate the exact premium for your choice of car insurance policy? Below are the popular methods of calculating your four-wheeler insurance premium:

Calculating your car insurance premium with our online premium calculator

A car insurance premium calculator is an online tool provided by insurance companies to help you calculate your premium in a jiffy. Simply enter the required information, select the policy coverage and add-ons and click on Get Price. The calculator will display the total premium you need to pay to buy the four-wheeler insurance coverage you need.

Calculating Own Damage Insurance Premium

The premium for an own damage insurance policy is calculated as follows:
[Insured Declared Value*Premium Tariff as decided by Insurer] + Add-ons – [Discounts like NCB]

Calculating Insured Declared Value of your vehicle

The IDV for your vehicle is calculated as follows:
[List price of thecar manufacturer – depreciation deduction] + [Cost of vehicle accessories which are not a part of list price – depreciation deduction of accessories]

Calculating Third Party Car Insurance Premium

As per the notification issued by IRDAI for the financial year 2022-2023, the premium rates that apply to Motor Third Party Liability Insurance for Private Cars effective from 1st June 2022 are as follows:

Engine Cubic Capacity

IRDAI Notified Premium

Not exceeding 1000 cc

Exceeding 1000 cc but not exceeding 1500 cc

Rs. 3,416

Exceeding 1500 cc

Rs. 7,897

Tips to Reduce Your Car Insurance Premium

Car insurance premiums can be categorised as an additional monthly expense. Thus, knowing how to reduce the insurance price before you buy four-wheeler insurance can help you plan your monthly expenses better without compromising car protection.

1

Compare Insurance Policies

Before you commit to any car insurance policy, instead of settling for the first premium quote you see, it is essential to gather all the information and compare different premiums offered for different plans. Compare the different plans based on available coverage, premiums, deductibles, and reviews to find the best fit as per your premium budget.

2

Opt for Voluntary Deductibles

A voluntary deductible is a choice by the policyholders to pay a proportion of the claim amount after an accident. In contrast, the insurance company pays the rest for repairing the car. When you raise a claim, the insurer will deduct this amount and settle the difference. By opting for higher deductibles, you can substantially reduce the cost of your car insurance premium.

3

Drive Safely

Your driving habits and history also impact the car insurance premium. For instance, the number and type of traffic violations committed by you in the past can increase the premium value significantly. Thus, you must maintain safe driving habits to qualify for a low car insurance price for your car insurance needs.

4

Avoid Making Small Claims

When you renew car insurance after issuance for a claim-free year, you get a discount on the premium you have to pay. This discount can go up to 50% for five consecutive claim-free years. However, even a single claim incurred damage will reset the NCB back to zero. We recommend not making claims against your policy during the policy period for minor damages frequently to keep your NCB from lapsing.

5

Choose The Right Coverage

Never pay for unnecessary coverage. Before you opt for a car insurance policy for your vehicle, do a dedicated assessment of the associated needs carefully, considering driving frequency, car value, geographical location, etc. Then, based on these requirements, choose a policy that offers the right combination of affordability and necessary protection.

6

Renew Insurance on Time

You must renew your car insurance policy on time to avoid higher premiums at the time of renewal. Therefore, always renew your policy on time to ensure continuous extensive coverage while increasing the chances of discounted premiums during renewals.

7

Insured Declared Value

When you get a car insurance policy, the insurer runs an assessment to establish the highest total claim value for your vehicle, known as the Insured Declared Value (IDV). However, you have the facility to reduce the vehicle’s IDV in exchange for a reduced cost of the premium. But remember that a lower IDV entails a lower maximum reimbursement value in case your car is stolen or damaged beyond repair.

8

Additional Safety Measures

If you choose to install additional security devices and modifications in your vehicles, such as parking sensors and anti-theft apparatus, you effectively reduce the risk associated with your vehicle. A reduced liability risk leads to lower and more convenient car insurance premiums from an insurer.

How To File A Four Wheeler Insurance Claim?

We hope it never comes to this, but if there’s an accident or something happens to your car, you will have to file a claim. The easiest way to file a car insurance claim is online. Here’s a step-by-step break down of TATA AIG’s car insurance claims process:

1

Register Your Claim

After making sure that you and your co-passengers are safe, it is advisable to inform your insurance provider of the incident at the earliest and get your claim registered.

To register your claim online, you need to log in to your Tata AIG online and click on 'Claim'.

  • Once you are redirected to the online claim form, you will need to furnish the following information:
  • Your car insurance policy number
  • A few personal details, including your name, number and address License details, or the license details of the driver
  • A few details regarding the incident
  • A copy of the FIR if there was an accident

In the car insurance claim form, you will also need to specify if a third-party was harmed or if third-party property was damaged.

Once you’ve finished entering all the details, you simply need to click ‘Submit’.

2

Get the Claim Intimation Number

After your claim is registered with us, we will provide you with a Claim Registration Number. State this number in all your communication concerning the claim status and settlement."

3

Inspection of the damages sustained

After you have filed a claim and submitted all the required documents, an inspector or surveyor will visit you to assess the damages caused by the incident. Our experts will peruse your car insurance claim form when the assessment is complete and determine the quantum of damage sustained by your vehicle.

4

Take the car to the garage

Based on the surveyor's report, we will schedule your vehicle for a visit to either one of our 7500+ network garages or a non-network garage of your choice.

If you choose a network garage, you can make a cashless claim and get your repairs done without the need to pay anything out of your pocket.

If you cannot reach one of our network garages, you can take your vehicle to your trusted garage and pay for the repairs on your own. The cost of repairs borne by you at a non-network garage will be reimbursed against your car insurance cover.

5

Get your car repaired

Depending on your location and preference, you can get your car repaired at a cashless network garage or a non-network garage.

6

We will settle the claim

Once repair work to your vehicle has been completed, we will move to settle the claim after a thorough inspection of your policy documents, add-on covers, additional discounts and claims history. Once all your car insurance claim related documents have been verified, we extend our settlement offer for the cost of repairs. For claims made at non-network garages, owners will be offered a settlement for reimbursements. We ensure a speedy and seamless claim settlement. However, if you wish to track the status of your claim after filing it, you can do so here.

Documents Required for Filing a Car Insurance Claim

The lists provided below are standard documents required for filing a car insurance claim for accidental damage or theft. However, there might be additional documents based on the type of claim you file. It is recommended to speak to a customer service representative to get the necessary clarification.

The claim form, duly filled and signed by the insured

A verified copy of the First Information Report (FIR)

A copy of the vehicle’s Registration Certificate (RC)

A copy of the driver’s licence

A copy of the policy documents

Accident photographs (for reimbursement claims)

Repair bills and other receipts (for reimbursement claims)

RTO transfer papers duly signed with Form 28, Form 29 and Form 30 (if you have purchased a second-hand car or transferred ownership of the vehicle)

NOC and Form 35 from the lender where the car has an active loan

Factors Impacting Insured Declared Value (IDV)

The Insured Declared Value is the approximate market value of your four-wheeler and the estimated amount of maximum reimbursement your insurance provider can give you in case of your car’s total loss due to an accident or if stolen.

Factors Impacting Insured Declared Value (IDV) The Insured Declared Value is the approximate market value of your four-wheeler and the estimated amount of maximum reimbursement your insurance provider can give you in case of your car’s total loss due to an accident or if stolen.

Make and model The other factor that influences a car's Insured Declared Value is its make and model. Hence, the IDV of an expensive car will be higher than that of a more affordable four-wheeler.

Usage of the car As the car ages, the parts undergo some depreciation due to usage and resultant wear and tear. The rate of depreciation is taken into account when calculating the IDV to arrive at the sum insured. For example, for the first six months, the car’s depreciation rate is at 5% and then increases each year. Once the car is 5 years old, its rate of depreciation is 50% and remains so as the car ages further.

Geographical location Another factor that affects the IDV is the geographical location where the car was registered. The IDV of cars in metropolitan cities is different from the IDV of cars registered in smaller towns in the country. This is because, in some areas, the risk of theft and safety concerns might be higher.

Safety Features and Modifications Another factor that can impact your car’s IDV is the type of modifications you have added to your car parts and the type of security or anti-theft devices you have installed in the vehicle. The higher the installation of safety features, the higher the IDV, and vice versa. Similarly, depending on the types of car modifications, the IDV might vary as it impacts the risk profile of your vehicle.

Age of the 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
