Car Insurance
Let’s get you started on your car insurance journey!
Car insurance or four-wheeler insurance is an agreement between a car owner and the car insurance provider that offers protection for four-wheelers in the case of financial losses due to unforeseen events like accidents and natural calamities. This contract, more often than not, is perceived as a piece of paper to be kept in the dashboard of the car and to be taken out only in case the traffic cops ever ask you for papers.
But that is not all!
This paper financially protects your four-wheeler in case of damage or loss through an accident. When you’re on the road, no matter how careful, there are chances that you might meet with an accident & you can end up with hefty repair bills.
Well, there are different kinds of four-wheeler insurance, such as third-party car insurance, which protects you from financial implications when the insured car accidentally causes damage to third-party vehicle/property or injuries to a third party or person. This third-party car insurance, or liability-only cover policy, does not cover damages caused to the insured car.
In India, as per the Motor Vehicle Act, it is compulsory to have a valid third-party insurance policy if you want to take your car on the road.
Another type of car insurance policy is a comprehensive car insurance policy that protects not only against any third-party liability but also against any financial damage to the car that may be caused due to accidents, theft, fire & natural disasters such as lightning, storm, flood, cyclone, etc. or damages which are man-made like vandalism, riots, etc.
Not only that! You can also avail of a Personal Accident Cover which will cover injuries or, god forbid, any severe physical damage incurred in an accident!
Once you buy online car insurance, you can choose between third-party car insurance, comprehensive car insurance, or even a stand-alone damage policy, as per your needs. You can also pay the policy premium online.
Tata AIG offers a range of third-party and comprehensive car insurance policies online to help you choose the type of coverage and protection your car needs. You can further enhance comprehensive car insurance coverage with 13 car insurance add-ons. Fill in your car details and check the quote to find the car insurance policy ideal for your four-wheeler!
From a few given options, you can choose a suitable Insured Declared Value (IDV) for your car as per the coverage you need during the purchase or the renewal of the policy.
To further customise your policy, you can choose the correct plan with the choice of add-ons to enhance the coverage of your comprehensive car insurance policy. Renewing your car insurance plan on time is also important to enjoy uninterrupted car insurance coverage!
Third-party rates are revised per the IRDAI circular, which came into force on 01st June 2022. Please click on the link to check the attached circular of IRDAI.

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 with the law
According to the Motor Vehicles Act, having a third-party car insurance policy is compulsory by law. Therefore, every car plying on Indian roads must be covered at least by 3rd party insurance.
Without a valid policy, you could get into trouble with the law and have to pay hefty traffic fines.
Protection from third-party liability
Third-party liability arises when the insured four-wheeler causes accidental damage to a third-party vehicle or property or injuries to a third-party person. Third-party car insurance or even a comprehensive car insurance policy covers these third-party liabilities and protects the policyholder of the insured car from financial damages.
At Tata AIG, we offer four-wheeler insurance policies with basic and extensive insurance coverage to protect you from a host of damages.
Cover against theft
If your four-wheeler or the car parts are stolen, then your car insurance policy can cover the financial damages and compensate you for the loss of the car or the replacement or repair of the car parts.
In case of total loss (damaged beyond repair) or theft of your car, Tata AIG ensures a quick and convenient settlement process to provide you with the sum insured of your car.
Protection against financial losses
A bump or deep scratch on your car due to an accidental collision or an act of vandalism can lead to financial damages.
Here, an Own Damage cover or comprehensive car insurance is useful as they offer complete protection to the insured vehicle from various kinds of damages, right from theft and accidents to damage due to natural disasters and more.
Cover against natural calamities
In case of floods, cyclones, storms, earthquakes or other natural calamities, your car can face significant damages and the extent of repairs can get costly.
The financial plan provided by your four-wheeler insurance cover helps take care of these damages so that your car is safe and in good condition even in harsh weather.
Personal Accident Cover
With a car insurance policy, you can avail of a personal accident cover of up to ₹15 lakhs, as per guidelines issued by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India, in the event of bodily injuries, disability or even death of the policyholder or the owner-driver of the vehicle.
No Claim Bonus
With No Claim Bonus (NCB), you can enjoy discounts on the renewal OD premium after consecutive claim-free years. You start with a 20% discount after one claim-free year, which goes up to 50% from the fifth consecutive claim-free year.
Access to Cashless Garages
With a network of over 5400 cashless garages, you can ensure that your car will be taken care of in the event of damages or losses. You need not worry about settling the payment; simply file a claim with us, and we will settle the dues with the cashless garage at the earliest!
Points To Consider While Choosing Car Insurance
The process of buying car insurance is simple but takes time and quite a bit of research. Moreover, it is of utmost importance to get at least a third-party car insurance policy from a legal standpoint.
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 coverage 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.
Policy Terms and Conditions
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 vehicle, person, or 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 13 add-ons such as roadside assistance, no claim bonus, consumables coverage, etc. | You cannot enhance the insurance with add-ons. |

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.

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:
Insured Declared Value (IDV)
Insured Declared Value (IDV) is the 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 higher IDV results in higher car insurance premiums.
Age of The Car
The age of the car affects the premium of a four-wheeler insurance policy. Insurance premiums are more expensive for brand-new cars and cheaper for older ones. Since the value of your vehicle depreciates every year, the IDV/Insured declared value falls along with the policy premium.
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 policy provide a gamut of options in cover, which in turn delivers options in premium amounts.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.
Add-ons
Your car insurance premium will increase when you opt for add-ons with your policy. Different add-ons provide different types of additional cover for your four-wheeler, and your premium will depend on the number and types of add-ons you have chosen.
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.
Deductibles
Deductibles denote the percentage of the 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.
Claims History
Car owners who have not made claims in a given year can avail of a No Claim Bonus (NCB) from the insurer. 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.
Online Purchase
When you buy car insurance online, you can compare different policies, calculate the premium online and then select a plan that suits your needs and budget. An online purchase of car insurance allows you to customise the IDV and the premiums, which can result in affordable premiums.
Other Factors
Some other factors that affect the premium of a car insurance plan are the age of the owner, the 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.

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

---|---|---|
Not exceeding 1000 cc | Rs. 2,094 | |

Tips to Reduce Your Car Insurance Premium
The car insurance premium is one of the most important factors people consider when buying a policy. Owners-drivers are always looking out to get extensive coverage at affordable premiums. Here are a few tips that will help you reduce your car insurance premium:
Additional Security Measures
If you choose to install additional security devices 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 premiums for your car insurance.
No-Claim Bonus
When you renew your policy after 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 will reset the NCB back to zero. Avoid making claims against your policy for minor damages to keep your NCB from lapsing.
Insured Declared Value
When you get a car insurance policy, the company runs an assessment to establish the highest claim value for your vehicle, known as the Insured Declared Value (IDV). However, you can reduce the vehicle’s IDV in exchange for a reduced cost of the premium. But remember that a lower IDV entails a lower reimbursement in case of theft or total damage to the car.
Increase Voluntary Deductibles
A voluntary deductible is a choice by the policyholders to pay a proportion of the claim amount while the insurance company pays the rest. 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.

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:
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’.
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."
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.
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.
Depending on your location and preference, you can get your car repaired at a cashless network garage or a non-network garage.
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 | 50% |

Coverage
The coverage is the amount of risk that is covered for an individual through an insurance policy. It includes all the risk factors that the individual or the car (in car insurance) need to be protected against.
IDV

The No Claim Bonus is the discount on premium offered to the policyholder from the car insurance company for responsible driving and not filing damage claims during the preceding policy year.
Zero Depreciation (Depreciation Reimbursement)
The Zero Depreciation Cover (Depreciation Reimbursement) is an add on which helps car insurance policyholders avoid the deduction of the depreciation amount from their sum insured. Without the Zero Depreciation (Depreciation Reimbursement), car insurance companies subtract the depreciation on the car’s parts while settling the claim amount.
Own Damage
Own Damage refers to the damages caused to the insured vehicle and the Own Damage cover helps cover the financial losses incurred by the policyholder due to the damage to their insured car.
Personal Accident Insurance

In case of the accidental death involving the insured vehicle of the policyholder, the compensation is given to the policyholder’s family.
Voluntary Deductible
The voluntary deductible is the part of the claim that is paid by the car insurance policyholder and is determined at the time of the policy’s purchase. If the deductible is higher, then the premiums will be lower.
Consumables
The parts of the car that cannot be reused after being used or consumed, such as the brake oil, nuts and bolts, fuel filter and more, are called consumables.
Cashless Claims
If you get your damaged car repaired at the network garages of your insurance provider, then the cost of the repair is directly sent to the garage by the insurer. Since the policyholder does not have to handle this expense from their own pocket, this facility is called a cashless claim.
