There’s uncertainty in everything, be it life or your car. As we go for life insurance so should we do for our possessions like our car. Getting car insurance is an indemnity. In case of an accident, the damages that the car suffers are repaired, and if need be, the replacement of the part with new ones is made. In extreme cases where a total loss is established, the insurance company pays the entire sum assured (the IDV declared in the insurance policy).

Accidents are uncertain and cannot be predicted. So, by getting our cars insured we rule out the possibility of a financial burden that we may incur if our vehicle meets with an accident and is damaged.
As per The Motor Vehicles Act of India 1988 purchasing a minimum form of insurance ie. third party liability (TPL) is mandatory for every vehicle owner. However, for claiming own damage claims, Comprehensive insurance or Zero Depreciation insurance are required.
On today’s Featured post, we explore 10 most asked question on car insurance and claims by car owners:
