Thanks Rupesh and F50 I was also on the same opinion to depreciate by 10 to 15%.
Car is driven by my wife and it has clocked just less than 11K in 2 years. No accident till now but yes suffered minor bumper scratches which is common in Bangalore.

I think this should be the case in India.

2 year's 11K is very less, go for 10% that should be fine.

Insurance renewal

Ask for the insurance renewal quote's in writing. 40% discount + Ncb is very good.

No its not like that it including NCB.
Question is what all discount a current provider can give you if you go with him. Can you tell me that.

There are 2 type's of discount one is Ncb and other discount is given by insurer on demand and on bargain. Normally it is called as non-tariff discount.

Quote comparision

I never paid attention to insurance, as my previous car was under company lease. I am out for insurance shopping, and found this web site policybazaar.com which looked pretty cool to me.

They provided 13 quotes for Swift VDi ranging from 9070 to 12054 premium. Which itself was an eye opener for me. I used the compare option (attached xls)
Can some experts advice me on some of the options like

No submission or deduction(salvage)
No estimate surveys
Extended geographical area covered

thanks in advance

Nice to know that you have started looking at your car insurance now.

I noticed something in this quot which i felt is a wrong informatation aboult the insurance companies so i thought let me comment on that first.

Free cleaning of vehicle is only given by FG which is wrong.
Cashless claim settlement is only given by FG which is wrong.
Etc....

I have noted in this policy bazaar they promote one or two company which is untrue, I think he get's higher income by way of commission from that company and noting else. Approach to company where you know some agent that will be easy for you.

I am using this tool for basic comparision, and understanding what are the various clauses which need to be looked into rather than the cheapest quote.

Any pointers towards that would be useful.
This site allows only 4 policies to compare at a time, so the previous attachment, I compared four policies. (2 least quotes, most expensive and my present insurance provider)

Take a look at post no. 23. I've explained how insurance is calculated and what are the various clauses that come into play. There are some clarifications from rjvora_2000 also in the subsequent posts....

Thanks Sentil. I read through the complete thread.
Can some one please explain these specific advantages/disadvantages.

No submission or deduction(salvage)
No estimate surveys
Extended geographical area covered

Some other things like "Warranty on accident repairs" are self explanatory. Tata AIG is also giving warranty on any accident repairs as part of insurance, which I thought was a good feature.

No submission or deduction(salvage) :- Mean you don't have any deduction in the claim amount for salvage. (I know Chola is not paying 8% for this one and Bajaj is not deducting anything.

Extended area is there with every company - you need to pay extra.
