image

Check new car insurance price

Compare the new car insurance price across different policies. Choose the new car insurance policy that offers the most competitive rate of premium without compromising on the coverage. For instance, Zurich Kotak offers affordable policies for your new car with a comprehensive scope of coverage.

image

Check the networked garages

Networked garages allow you to avail of the cashless claim facility. So, the wider the network of such garages, the better. Check the list of networked garages in your area to know which garage would serve the purpose when you suffer a claim.

Know the claim settlement process

You need to follow the claim settlement process for a quick claim settlement. So, check the claim settlement process of the insurance company. Also, look for a policy that has a streamlined process and simplifies the claim experience, just like Zurich Kotak does.

image

Check the claim settlement ratio

Lastly, check the claim settlement rratio of the insurance company as it indicates the percentage of claims that the company has settled.

Car Insurance - frequently asked questions

Zero depreciation cover helps you protect your car against all physical damages caused to the car without factoring in the element of depreciation. Normally the insurer accounts for depreciation on your car's parts and therefore pay you your claim only after subtracting the amount of depreciation. But, with the Zero depreciation add-on, you get claim amount without deducting the depreciation.

First foremost, you have to apply for a car insurance transfer by paying a transfer fee along with the documents mentioned below:

  • Existing Insured's consent

  • New Customer's Proposal

  • Transferred RC Copy / Sale Proof

  • Inspection of Vehicle (If request received post 14 days of transfer)

  • NCB Recovery, if any

  • Recovery / Refund of ODPA, if any

  • Transfer Fee

  • Then hand over the new policy schedule to the new policy holder.

The IDV is an important factor that decides the price of car insurance. Insured declared value is a fixed value in a car insurance policy at which your car is insured. Few factors that impact IDV are:

  • Car type:

    The value of the car depends upon its type. Generally, there are 3 types - SUVs, hatchbacks, and sedans. You may also find sports car variants or vintage cars. The value of an SUV is higher than a hatchback; similarly, a vintage car though old, has a higher value than most new cars.

  • Variant of the car:

    Same cars of the same brand may have advanced features that place the car at a higher variant. The higher the variant of the car, the more the value of the car, which increases the IDV.

  • Purchase location:

    The on-road price of the same cars varies across different locations. This change in price can change the value of the IDV of the same vehicle at different purchase locations.

  • Depreciation:

    Depreciation is the reduction in the value of the car over the years due to general wear and tear. It is inversely proportional to the value of the car. The higher the depreciation lower is the car’s value.

  • Accessories:

    The car accessories also depreciate over time and are also included in calculating the IDV of your car.

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.

Zurich Kotak allows quick and hassle-free purchase of old car insurance. To buy old car insurance for your second hand car, you can simply follow the below-mentioned steps –

  • Visit https://www.zurichkotak.com/ and select ‘Car Insurance’

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.

Renewing your car insurance is crucial to ensure seamless protection. At Zurich Kotak General Insurance, the renewal of car insurance is quick and hassle-free. It is advised to renew your policy before it expires, though, even if your car insurance policy has expired, all you need to do is enter your existing policy number or customer ID on the online car insurance renewal page.
