| Had a word with Prakul Pandit from Pandit & Co. in Okhla, New Delhi. He says he doesn't provide cashless facility. Are Iffco Tokio guys fussy at helping with claims? Would they delay the settlement? What's the general opinion about them? |

| Unique NCB issue Let's say I have two cars. On first I have 45% NCB and on second it is nil as it is the first year of ownership.Insurance company is same for both the cars. If I make a claim on this car then will the NCB of the first car will be lost? As I understand the NCB is for the person and not the vehicle, the owner being same NCB should be lost for the first car as well? Any idea? |

NCB will be lost only for the car its used for. One accident wont cancel NCB for both cars. The NCB is for the person AND one of his cars. You can shift it to another car for same person but not to another person with same car. Eg you didnt get NCB on your second car even though you had 45% on first car. They are seperate vehicles and carry seperate insurance NCB. Hope this clears it up. | |

| Dear forum friends, I need an urgent help here. My car insurance expired on Nov 7, 2010. Usually, I always got a call from Tata AIG a week prior to the expiry date. However this time, they neither called me, nor sent me the renewal notice. I was traveling on account of work and it occurred to me yesterday, when I emailed and called my agent, as well as Tata AIG. Today morning I got a reply from them stating that my case has been declined. They did not cite any reason for the same. Upon probing, they sent me a letter which states that "We thank you for choosing Tata AIG for your insurance needs. We wish to remind you that your policy is due to expire on midnight of 07/11/2010 and on renewal you are entitled for 0% No Claim Bonus. The NCB status is based on the experience till date and is liable to change, if a claim is reported henceforth. We regret to inform you that, considering the experience on the policy / segment, we are not in a position to offer you package cover on renewal. Instead we will be happy to provide you a Liability Only policy, as per the terms and conditions of the respective policy." In 6 years of ownership (2 owners), the insurance company was never changed. There was just one claim (in March 2010). Can this be the reason for them to deny the renewal? How do I go about getting a fresh policy now? Please recommend me a good insurer (except Tata AIG and Reliance). Thanks in advance Nishant |

I also heard from friends that IFFCO Tokio offers rates lesser than others. So you could probably try either of these agencies  | |

| Guys I am going for temporary registration as dealer is trying to fleece me of 5000/- for registering the car. The HDFC ErGO insurance manager is telling me that comprehensive insurance is not valid under temporary registration. The Royal sundaram agent is assuring me that chassis No: and Engine No is sufficient and the vehicle will be covered. I want to know if I have an accident before permanent registration if my vehicle will be covered by insurance. Thanks. Edit: I just found this http://www.courtjudgments.org/puran-...nal-insurance/ "...Admittedly the vehicle in question met with an accident within a period of one month from the date of its purchase and was bearing temporary registration number . Therefore , it is clear that at the time of the accident neither the vehicle was being plied in contravention of the provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act nor in violation of the terms and conditions of the insurance policy. Hence we have no hesitation to conclude that the opposite party had repudiated the claim of the complainant illegally which amounts to deficiency in service and the complainant is entitled for compensation on this count ." and shot back a rejoinder to the Manager at HDFC ERGO. He backed off and I scored a point. Last edited by Ragul : 10th November 2010 at 18:14. |

| Got the following quote from Bajaj Allianz Car: Hyundai Getz 1.3 GL Date of mfg/reg: Nov 2004 Previous insurer: Tata AIG Claims made: 2 (both in 2010) - amounting to Rs 30k IDV: Rs 210,000 Premium: Rs 6,400 (with Rs 0 voluntary excess) How good is this offer? How good is BA as an insurer? Do they have a good cashless tie up with reputed Hyundai service centers / garages? |

| I had a simple query. I do realise we have to keep depreciating our IDV value every year by atleast 10%. However, how much should be the first IDV value be ? I mean this is the case with my car. I am buying a new car whos ex-showroom price is X now when i call up different insurance companies they are ok with whatever IDV value i select and give me the approx premium amount. Now considering the fact that if i am ok with paying whatever initial premium comes to, what is the best IDV value should one go for ? |

| BHPian  | Insurance for my Ritz ZXi is up for renewal. Previously I had insurance from Royal Sundaram and didn't make any claims. This is the quote I got from Royal Sundaram for 2nd year. IDV: 384334 (Ex-showroom price for my car was 480000 December last year) Own Damage for Vehicle: 9462 Liability: 800 PA Cover Premium: 100 Additional PA Cover: 500 Legal liability to driver: 100 Less For anti-theft devices: 237 20% for NCB: 1845 The final premium amount is coming out to be Rs 9700/-. Now compare this with quote I am getting from Bajaj Allianz website - IDV - 427700  Please advise whom should I go with. EDIT: I read in previous posts that NCB is around 45%, whereas Royal Sundaram and Bajaj Allianz is offering me only 20% and 25% respectively. Last edited by Gandhi : 22nd November 2010 at 20:43. |

First IDV is compulsory deduction of 5% on ex-showroom price only according to IRDA. The Insurance co cannot reduce more and declare a lower IDV. HTH | |

| BHPian  | Hi All, Its time to renew the insurance on my lancer and I want to go with comprehensive cover this time around. The issue is that my car is a 1999 model and I heard from a few friends that nobody offers comprehensive insurance for a car this old. However, I've made a sizable investment in this car and would like to get comprehensive if possible. Could anyone point me in the right direction please? Do you have comprehensive cover for your 1999 or older car? Thanks! Tassem. |
