Estimate car insurance premium

Frequently Asked Questions

How is car insurance premium calculated?

Factors: IDV (Insured Declared Value), car age, engine capacity, location (metro vs non-metro), past claims history, add-on covers, NCB (No Claim Bonus), and coverage type (third-party vs comprehensive).

What is IDV in car insurance?

IDV (Insured Declared Value) is the current market value of your car—maximum payout for total loss/theft. IDV = (Manufacturer's listed price - Depreciation). Higher IDV = higher premium but better coverage.

What is NCB and how does it work?

NCB (No Claim Bonus) is a discount for claim-free years: 20% (1 year), 25% (2), 35% (3), 45% (4), 50% (5+ years). NCB transfers to new car within 90 days. Making claims resets NCB.

Should I get comprehensive or third-party insurance?

Third-party is legally mandatory and cheapest but only covers damage to others. Comprehensive covers your car too (accidents, theft, natural disasters). For new/valuable cars, comprehensive is strongly recommended.

What add-on covers should I consider?

Zero depreciation (full claim without depreciation deduction), engine protection (water/oil damage), roadside assistance, personal accident cover, consumables cover. Evaluate based on car age and your driving patterns.
