Important car insurance terminologies you must know
Insured Declared Value (IDV)
IDV is the maximum sum your insurer will pay if your vehicle is stolen or declared a total loss. It reflects your car’s current market value after depreciation. Setting the right IDV helps balance your car insurance premium and claim amount.
No Claim Bonus (NCB)
NCB is a discount on your car insurance premium earned for each claim-free policy year, starting at 20% and going up to 50%. It’s transferable when switching insurers and encourages safe driving habits.
Depreciation cover
A depreciation cover, often called zero depreciation add-on, ensures your claim amount isn’t reduced due to part depreciation. It covers full replacement costs of damaged parts, excluding wear and tear, during a valid claim.
Premium
The premium is the cost you pay to keep your car insurance policy active. Factors like IDV, vehicle age, coverage type, add-ons, and claim history influence the premium amount.
Coverage in car insurance policy
Coverage refers to the protection your car insurance policy offers—ranging from third-party liabilities to own-damage protection against accidents, theft, fire, and natural or man-made calamities.
Own Damage cover
Own Damage cover protects your vehicle against accidental damage, theft, fire, and natural disasters. It’s available as part of a comprehensive policy or as a standalone cover alongside third-party insurance.
Cashless claims
Cashless claims let you get repairs at authorised network garages without paying the full bill upfront. Your insurer directly settles the approved amount with the garage, reducing out-of-pocket expenses.
Comprehensive Insurance
Comprehensive insurance offers complete protection by combining third-party liability cover with own-damage coverage, plus the option to add extra benefits through add-ons for enhanced security.
Deductibles
A deductible is the fixed amount you must pay from your pocket before your insurer covers the remaining repair cost during a claim. Choosing a higher voluntary deductible can lower your premium.
Third-Party Liability
Coverage that compensates for damages or injuries caused to another person, vehicle, or property.
Personal Accident Cover
Compensation for injuries, disability, or death of the insured person due to an accident.
Endorsement
A modification or addition to the existing insurance policy.
Cashless Garage Network
A list of garages where repairs can be availed without paying upfront, as the insurer settles the bill directly.
Claim Settlement Ratio (CSR)
The percentage of claims settled by an insurance provider against the total claims received.
Roadside Assistance (RSA)
An add-on service that provides help in case of breakdowns, flat tires, or battery failure.
Grace Period
The additional period after policy expiry during which the policyholder can renew their insurance without losing benefits.
