Buy / Renew Car Insurance Online

No matter how much you pay for your car insurance, you can always get a discount on your car insurance premium with

• No Claim Bonus on Car Insurance:

No claim bonus is a discount that is given to you if you have not raised any claim during the policy tenure. Retaining the no claim bonus helps you to get a higher discount every year on your car insurance renewal.

• Security measures:

Installing anti-theft or security devices ensures that your car is safe from theft which in turn reduces your premium for car insurance policy.

While comparing car insurance quotes, buyers generally look for insurance policies that provide maximum coverage at the lowest premium. While this can be a factor but completely depending upon low premiums can be a big mistake. Instead, you must look at

• The right IDV

• Better services

• Claim settlement ratio

Second hand car insurance is available for used cars. You can choose from a third party liability policy or a comprehensive one. Buying old car insurance is similar to buying new car insurance. You just have to go online, provide your car’s details, select the coverage that you need, add add-ons, if required and calculate the premium.

Pay the premium online and the second hand car insurance policy will be issued.

You should not let your car insurance lapse and renew it immediately if expired. In case you renew it after expiry, the following outcomes may follow:

If you have earned any No Claim Bonus over the last few years of the policy period, you might lose the same.

After your insurance expires, your car is not insured and that may put you and your car at considerable financial and legal risk in case of any.

Having at least third-party car insurance is mandatory by law, so in case you are charged under the law for driving without valid car insurance, you will get fined or face legal implications.

On-time car insurance renewals have multiple benefits. Have a look –

• When the policy is not renewed on time, the coverage lapses. A lapse means that the coverage stops and any financial loss that you incur is not borne by the insurance company. With on-time car insurance renewals, you can enjoy uninterrupted coverage, without a break. In the case of an accident, theft or third party liability, the coverage will compensate you for the financial loss suffered.

• Lapsed coverage is also problematic if you are caught by traffic authorities. They might charge a fine or a penalty for not having a valid insurance coverage. With on-time car insurance renewal, you have valid coverage and you can avoid legal hassles.

• You can retain the no claim bonus that you have accumulated through the previous claim-free years.

• Timely car policy renewal also eliminates the need of inspection which is usually required if you renew the policy after it has lapsed.

• Lastly, on renewing car insurance timely, you can enjoy lower premiums since insurers might charge an additional premium if your policy has lapsed and the coverage is not active.

The cashless claim process in car insurance refers to a smooth way of settling insurance claims. It processes claims without any payment by policyholder for the repair expenses caused due to any damage or accident.

The reimbursement claim process is an alternative to the cashless claim process. In this process, the policyholder pays for the repairs or damages caused due to accident.
