How Does Tata AIG Car Insurance Work?

Why Do You Need Car Insurance?

Because it is Required by Law

selected-step-indicator

To Cover High Repair Costs

As Third-party Damages Can be Expensive

So You are Not Left Unprotected in an Accident

To Cover Rising Theft and Fire Cases

Third-party insurance is mandatory in India. Driving without it can lead to fines up to ₹4,000 and even a jail term.

From small city bumps to major highway crashes, accidents are common everywhere. Even a basic accident can cost ₹35,000–₹60,000 to fix. Insurance helps you avoid paying that out of pocket.

If you damage someone else’s car, property, or cause injury, the costs can be huge. Insurance covers these liabilities and legal expenses.

Get personal accident cover of up to ₹15 lakh for the owner-driver in case of serious injury or death.

Car thefts have risen sharply, especially in metros, and fire risks are increasing across EVs and fuel-based cars. Insurance keeps you covered.

Who Should Buy a Car Insurance Policy?

What are the Different Types of Car Insurance Policies?

Third-Party Car Insurance

selected-step-indicator

Standalone Own-Damage Car Insurance

Comprehensive Car Insurance

Zero Depreciation Car Insurance Policy

Usage-Based Car Insurance

Third-party car insurance is the basic policy required by law for all cars in India. It covers any damage caused to another person, vehicle or property by your car and the resulting legal expenses.

The third-party car insurance plan compensates for bodily injuries or death caused to others and covers property damage up to ₹7.5 lakhs. However, it does not cover damage to your own car.

Explore Policy Benefits

If you already have a third-party insurance policy, you can purchase standalone own-damage car insurance separately. This protects your own car against accidents, theft, natural disasters and man-made calamities.

It also gives car owners the flexibility to customise the coverage with optional add-ons for better protection.

Explore Policy Benefits

A comprehensive car policy covers both third-party liabilities and own damage to your car. With this policy, you get broader financial protection, whether your car is damaged due to accidents, theft, fire, or natural calamities like floods and earthquakes.

You can also customise and enhance your coverage with optional add-ons such as roadside assistance, engine secure, or return-to-invoice benefits.

Explore Policy Benefits

Also called a "zero dep" or "bumper-to-bumper" policy, it is a car insurance policy with the Depreciation Reimbursement cover. With this cover, you get the full claim amount for repairs and replacement. For example, the depreciation on parts like plastic, rubber, or metal will not be deducted.

It’s highly recommended for new cars or high-value models where repair costs are steep.

Explore Policy Benefits

This modern usage-based discount car insurance option is designed for those who don’t drive often. The premium is calculated based on the distance you drive in a year, measured in kilometres.

It’s an ideal choice for car owners with limited usage, work-from-home employees or weekend drivers and ensures you pay only for what you use.

Explore Policy Benefits

Car Insurance Based on Different Need

Every car owner faces unique risks depending on the type of car, driving conditions, and how often the car is used. A car policy can be customised to suit these specific needs.
Car Insurance for Low-Mileage Drivers

Low-mileage drivers can opt for usage-based or pay-as-you-drive car insurance plans. Decide the coverage based on the kilometres you expect to drive in a year and pay only for that.

Car Insurance for Daily Commuters

Daily commuters are exposed to higher risks due to traffic conditions. They can enhance their coverage with add-ons, such as No Claim Bonus Protection Cover, Tyre Secure, Engine Secure and Key Replacement.

Car Insurance for Long-distance/ Highway Drivers

Long-distance drivers can customise their policy for additional safety by including add-ons like Roadside Assistance, Tyre Secure, and Additional Third Party Property Damage Cover.

Car Insurance for Second-hand Cars

A second-hand car insurance can be enhanced with relevant add-ons, such as Repair of Glass, Fibre, Plastic & Rubber Parts, Consumables Expenses, Engine Secure, and Depreciation Reimbursement.

Car Insurance for New Cars

New cars can involve high costs in case of damage or theft. In addition to standard coverage, owners can opt for add-ons, such as the Depreciation Reimbursement and Return-to-Invoice Cover.

Car Insurance for Luxury Cars

Luxury cars come with expensive parts and high repair costs. To ensure adequate protection, owners can include add-ons like Depreciation Reimbursement, Return-to-Invoice Cover, and Engine Secure.

Factors Impacting Insured Declared Value (IDV)

The Insured Declared Value (IDV) is the approximate current market value of your car and the estimated amount of maximum reimbursement you will get from your insurance policy in case your car is stolen or declared total loss due to an accident. You can decide the IDV for your car at the time of purchase. And it directly impacts your car insurance premium. While a higher IDV increases the premium, a lower IDV may result in inadequate coverage. Choosing the right IDV helps you avoid under- or over-insuring your car. Here are the factors that can affect your car’s IDV.

1

Make and Model

The make and model of your car affect its Insured Declared Value. A higher-end model will have a higher IDV compared to more affordable ones.

2

Geographical Location

The geographical location where the car was registered also impacts the IDV. The IDV of cars in metropolitan cities differs from that of cars registered in smaller towns across the country. This is because Zone A regions are at higher risk of increased traffic congestion, accidents and higher demand of the vehicle in the region.

3

Safety Features and Modifications

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 also affect IDV. 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.

4

Usage of the Car

As your car ages, its parts wear down, resulting in depreciation. This reduces the Insured Declared Value (IDV), which is the amount your car is insured for. For example, depreciation is 5% in the first six months. After five years, depreciation reaches 50% and stays the same as the car continues to age.

Policy

Claim

Service

Is car insurance mandatory in India?

toggle

Yes, as per the Indian Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, having at least a third-party car policy is mandatory in India. Also, based on a Supreme Court order issued in 2018, all new cars must be sold with a 3-year third-party car insurance plan.

Which is the best insurance for a car?

toggle

This depends on various factors. There cannot be one policy that is best for all types of cars. You can assess various factors, such as your car’s make and model, IDV, location, and usage, to determine the best car insurance policy. Compare the different options and choose a policy that best suits your requirements and fits your budget.

Which car insurance is cheapest?

toggle

Third-party car insurance is the cheapest car insurance, as it offers only the basic coverage required by law. It covers third-party liabilities, including bodily injury and property damage, but does not cover any damage to your own car.

You can consider purchasing either own damage cover with a third-party policy or a comprehensive car insurance policy for complete protection.

Which is better, 3rd party or comprehensive?

toggle

Comprehensive car insurance is always considered a better option. This is because it offers complete protection against damages caused to your vehicle and also third-party liabilities. Also, it offers a wide range of optional add-ons that can customise your car insurance policy based on your specific needs.

Can I convert 3rd party insurance to comprehensive?

toggle

Yes, you can upgrade your car insurance plan from 3rd party to comprehensive car insurance at the time of renewal. The coverage offered and the premium will be decided after the company conducts a vehicle inspection.

Is the cheapest car insurance always better?

toggle

The cheapest car insurance policy may not always be the best choice. Such policies are generally cheaper because they offer limited coverage. Inadequate coverage may not be able to cover all your repair or replacement expenses.

What are the disadvantages of third-party insurance?

toggle

Third-party insurance only covers third-party liabilities, such as property damage and bodily injuries caused to others. It does not cover any damage to your own car.

Which insurance plan is compulsory for a new car?

toggle

As per the Indian Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, having at least a third-party car policy is mandatory. And, based on a Supreme Court order issued in 2018, all new cars must be sold with a 3-year third-party car insurance plan.

Are offline and online car insurance policies the same?

toggle

Yes. Online and offline are just two different modes to purchase your preferred TATA AIG car insurance policy. So, if you purchase our car insurance online through our website, it will be the same as if you purchase it from our branch. However, you can enjoy discounts of up to 85% on premiums with an online purchase.

Is it necessary to have car insurance in India?

toggle

Yes. As per the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988, all vehicles must have at least third-party insurance. If you do not have third-party car insurance, you cannot legally drive your car on Indian roads.

What are the advantages of buying car insurance online?

toggle

We always recommend buying car insurance online as it is quick, easy and convenient. You can compare car insurance policies to find the best policy at the most competitive price. There is minimal paperwork required, and no middlemen are involved.

How can I calculate the car insurance premium for my policy?

toggle

You can use the TATA AIG car insurance premium calculator to determine the premium you have to pay for your car based on the type of plan and add-ons chosen.

How much is 1 year of car insurance?

toggle

The cost of a 1-year car insurance premium is determined based on several factors, such as the car’s age, make, and model, the type of policy chosen, the add-ons included, your location, and more. Since these factors vary, the premium amount differs from one car to another and from one location to another. TATA AIG offers car insurance plans with premiums starting from just ₹2094 per year.

What does a car insurance policy cover?

toggle

This depends entirely on the type of TATA AIG car insurance policy you choose. A third-party car insurance policy covers third-party injuries or property damage but does not cover damage to your own car.

A standalone own damage insurance covers damages to your car due to various reasons, such as accidents, theft, natural disasters and more. A comprehensive car insurance plan offers coverage for both your own car and third-party liabilities.

Should I get a comprehensive car insurance policy, or is third-party enough?

toggle

For the best protection of your car, yourself and your finances, we always recommend the comprehensive TATA AIG car insurance policy. A comprehensive car insurance policy will cover you against third-party liability and damages to your car, and offer personal accident cover and more. Of course, the decision to pick one car insurance policy over the other depends entirely on you and your requirements.

What does zero depreciation (Depreciation Reimbursement) mean in car insurance?

toggle

Zero depreciation (Depreciation Reimbursement) is a very popular car insurance add-on. It protects your finances against the regular depreciation costs of various parts of your car. If you choose to get this add-on along with your TATA AIG car insurance policy, you will be reimbursed for the full value of a part. The depreciated value of that part will not be considered.

How to complete your car insurance renewal after expiration?

toggle

If you’ve missed your policy renewal deadline, you can contact us, and we will help you with your car insurance renewal. We’ll need a few details, such as your car’s registration number, your previous policy number, the number of claims you’ve previously made and a few images of your car.

Are there any important factors I should consider before buying or renewing car insurance?

toggle

You should always purchase a car insurance policy that offers you the best coverage and the most competitive prices. While looking for a policy, consider the car insurance premium, the type of coverage offered, the network garages available, and the kind of add-ons available to you.

What happens if my previous car insurance policy has already expired?

toggle

If you didn’t renew your car insurance policy on time, you will lose your coverage benefits. You can still get a new car policy with TATA AIG. However, since there’s a gap in your coverage, we may need to send an inspector or surveyor to inspect your vehicle. If you renew the new policy within 90 days of the old policy’s expiry, you should still be eligible to claim any No Claim Bonus (NCB), if applicable.

Why renewing your car insurance policy on time matters?

toggle

If you miss renewing your car insurance policy on time, it will expire, and you will have no coverage during that period.

With TATA AIG, you have a 90-day window to renew, but during this period, there’s no protection. Late renewal could result in higher premiums, loss of No Claim Bonus (NCB), and missing out on valuable add-ons like Zero Depreciation.

Also, renewing your car insurance on time helps avoid legal issues, keeps your coverage intact and ensures continuous coverage.

How to change car insurance from one company to another?

toggle

To switch car insurance providers in India, begin by assessing your insurance needs and comparing policies online to find better coverage and pricing. Once you’ve chosen a new insurer, purchase the new policy before cancelling the old one. Request a No Claim Bonus (NCB) Transfer Certificate from your current insurer to retain any benefits. Inform your current insurer in writing to cancel the policy.

Ensure the new policy starts immediately after the old one ends to prevent coverage gaps. This process, supported by IRDAI regulations, enables easy switching with benefits such as better prices and services.

What is an endorsement in car insurance?

When not to file a car insurance claim?
