Is this new development post the Fiat breakup with Tata?

I think I put this query up here a bit too late. The surveyor finished his survey this morning and work may have begun by now. However, I am trying to push Iffco Tokio / Fortune to make this a cash less transaction.

I'll keep you guys posted.

Hello guys,
I need to renew my car insurance policy. My car is 4.5 years old and no NCB have been claimed for the previous insurance year(last year). My insurance is expiring on 20th of this month. My maruti insurance (United Insurance company?) is quoting an IDV value of 1.46Lakhs and a premium of Rs.4356/- and subsequently, tata aig is quoting Rs.4371/- with IDV value of 1.56Lakhs. Is TATA AIG policy good. with claim settlement and all?

Thanks,
Ramki

IDV can be arrived in 2 ways.
Your ex showroom value minus depreciation. And. Current ex showroom value minus depreciation.


IDV should be the cost of buying equivalent car in case of it getting totalled.
The second method takes care of inflation increase in current. Pricing for car.


Beyond 5 years, need inspection and value mutually derived.

My local garage told me today that insurance companies started charging depreciation for paints. They said that for a 5 year old car 40% of painting cost would have borne by me !!

Is it true or just they are making some money? They also told me that this has started from May this year. If it is true will the policies taken earlier will be affected?

Never heard of this. Has this depreciation rate being mentioned in the policy document? If not then it is a money making stunt.

Ask your garage the source of this (mis)information.

Thanks for the clarification. It was not mentioned in policy document. Will ask them for supporting documents.

It is true and not any scam. This norm was issued sometime back.

Some companies are already charging depreciation on paint and some would start soon. Bajaj Allianz is charging depreciation on paint whereas Future Generali is not but they will start doing soon.

Will this be applicable for older policies too which are already effective and taken 5-6 month ago?

It is applicable to all policies, irrespective of the date of issue.

Gentlemen,

Kindly find the insurance offer from ICICI Lombard (image), coming from an agent and not from company directly.

Basic T.P.P: In this policy there also include third party cover. If there is property loss the cover will be
7.5 Lacks & if there is person the coverage will be Unlimited.

Paid Driver: There is unlimited coverage For Paid Driver.

Owner Driver: In this policy there is 2 Lack coverage for owner driver.

Passengers: In this policy there is 1 Lack coverage for each passenger.

Note: The Cheque should be in the name of Icici Lombard General Insurance Co. Ltd.

It's a PACKAGE POLICY. There is not any VOLUNTARY EXCESS & not any CLAUSE.


Is this fair premium? TataAiG have not yet responded to my renewal call. PolicyBazar won't sell Zero Dep.

Looks good! Nice discount above the NCB. But this is not Zero Dep.

Thanks! But it mentions 12,282.50 for regular and ₹ 15,753.05 for no depreciation. Or am I being mis guided under some terminology?

Try the ICICI Lombard website for an online quote and see it matches with the one given by agent. Verify how much discount on OD premium are you getting. If you are preferring zero dep, then I suggest look for other insurance quotes too.

And sorry to point out it is "Lakhs" and not lacks.

Yes it is! My bad. You can wait for Tata AIG or other company' quote for Zero Dep if your due date is not near. (Tata AIG should be a higher side, i feel)

@ ghodlur - I think 45% commercial discount + 20% NCB is good enough.
