Renew your Zurich Kotak General Insurance policy

Try to renew your car insurance 15–30 days before expiry. This keeps your cover active, helps retain your No Claim Bonus (NCB) and avoids last-minute issues.

Driving without valid insurance is a legal offence and may lead to penalties. You also lose financial protection in the event of an accident or damage. Renew as soon as possible to restore benefits.

Yes. You can renew in just a few steps using your registration number or policy details. The updated policy copy is shared digitally for immediate proof of cover.

If you renew on time, an inspection is generally not required. If the policy has lapsed, insurers may want to confirm the vehicle’s condition before reactivating the cover.

Premiums may vary based on the vehicle’s age, claims history, NCB and cover choices. Reviewing your plan at renewal helps ensure the price matches the protection you need.
