| ![]() Hi People, I have a Maruti 800 which 2001 model, the car insurance expired in Sep 2011, but its only today i realized that i need to renew my policy ![]() Now when i inquired with the company, no one is ready to insure the car, as its more than 8 years old. Future Genrali, said they will insure it but at a price of Rs 4,500, which is ridiculus for a 2001. kindly suggest the way out. Thanks Amit |

Note that if you have just a 3rd party insurance, you won't get any money if the car is stolen. You also won't get reimbursed for any accident repairs. | |

| ![]() Get it insured from Nationalized Insurance companies like National, Oriental, United India etc. They will give you comprehensive policy without any extra charge - no question asked. I did that for my old Zen (11 year old). Quote:

| ![]() I have a question about insurance - say for example I go for alloys from a dealer, and that is not part of the standard fitment in the current variant but its the standard on a higher variant, will that be covered under insurance? If not, is there any option to add it to the insurance while buying the car? |

When I renew my Corsa's Insurance online with Iffco-Tokio, all I can change are my contact and address details. Details like vehicle no., chasis no., engine no. etc are all grayed out. | ||

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() My Car is insured from General Sompo Insurance company. I paid Rs. 15,402 for first year insurance premium. I am looking forward to renew it and as per the showroom staff, Ford has tied up with Sompo for cash-less insurance. True? If not which company provides insurance facility (cash-less) for Ford and what amount should I look forward to pay as premium for the 2nd year? ^ I heard about sompo for the first time ever. |

| ![]() I have bought a seconds Civic this year around June end. I got the ownership transferred through RTO now only. Am yet to initiate transfer of Insurance in my name. The insurance is about to expire in 15 days. Should I have to transfer and then renew the insurance or directly renew the insurance? Also, the previous owner had NCB on the insurance for the car, and has moved out of country. He is willing to sign, scan and send anydocs so that I can use the NCB. Is there a way I can use the NCB ? |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Sorry Kumar, but NCB is not transferable. In fact you car's insurance is for all purposes non-existant. There is no coverage on it as the RC book has your name and the insurance policy has the previous owners name. |

| ![]() My car is due for the first insurance renewal this month end. My current insurer is Oriental Insurance. I am not satisfied with this since it doesn't have wide service provider network and I faced problems last year. This year I have got quote from following companies: TATA AIG Pearl Plan - Rs. 20834/- ICICI Zero Depreciation - Rs. 18074/- New India Comprehensive Policy - Rs. 15743/- TATA AIG is the costliest one. There is different of ~3K between TATA AIG and ICICI Lombard. IDV value and other add-ons are same. But ICICI reviews are not that great on this forum. New India being a nationalized company, should not have any hassles during claims. But it doesn't have Zero Depreciation option. Need suggestions on this ![]() |

I bought a 2nd hand CBZ while in college. The purchase and Insurance expiry were close by; when I went for renewal (New India Assurance), the bike was still in the previous owner's name. The Insurance was renewed and the policy was issued in my name. (I was given displeasing looks by the officer though!) It would be best to consult your Insurance provider about this. But yes, as bblost mentioned, if the RC has your name and the Insurance the previous owners, you car is not covered under Insurance. | |

| ![]() I am new to insurance stuff! But I need to renew my i20's insurance! She's a December 2009 manufactured model and my current Tata AIG will expire on 6 December 2011! I dont have any idea how to compare different insurance companies! I just want to get my car insured from a company that has a widespread network all over Delhi and NCR or even outside and offers hassle free claims with quick inspection etc. I dont care about NCBs, though it would be good to have some returns( ![]() ![]() Please advise guys!
