OD Discount - 30%
After OD Discount - 8594.32
Age Diiscount - 10%
BASIC PREMIUM - 7734.89

NCB - 20%
OWN DAMAGE PREMIUM - 6187.91 (7734.89 - 20%)

TOTAL LIABILITY PREMIUM - 925

TOTAL PREMIUM PAYABLE (after ST) - 7846

The original renewal quote was for Rs.8608 for the same IDV. How does the new deal sound? Should i ask specifically whether Voluntary excess has been built into this premium, as I don't see it mentioned in the quote given. Thanks in advance.

This is a good deal and I don't think so there is any excess in this quote only one change in liability side is there is no P.A. to unnamed passenger is covered. Go for that cover and your premium will increase by Rs. 100 per person for Rs. 2,00,000/- policy but this is a recommend cover for all of us.

Otherwise this quote look's good to me.

Not having accurate quotes and not having some covergaes are 2 diffferent things.. btw, which coverages do not appear, please let know this will help layman like me a lot...

The website (Buy Online Insurance, India Car Insurance, Mediclaim & Health Insurance, Life Insurance Policies: Policybazaar) looks more like yatra or makemytrip, just that instead of travel it is insurance.

Sirji you are asking too general question to me. I can answer any specific question.

Seems like my folks got a call from Reliance insurance & they are willing to give upto 50% discount. Even at a high level, how is this possible?

Please see this link: -

I have seen this two companies giving the highest discounts and the lowest claims in this industry.

Just because of ICICI and Reliance all the good Pvt. companies have also been affected.

I came to know from a friend that govt had changed rules about determining market value of a car, because insurance companies used to heavily discount claims by saying that current market value is lower.

Also found supporting evidence on maruti insurance website:
"government has made it a rule that the value of the vehicle will be taken according to a fixed structure as per the age of the vehicle and insurance co. should take the premium as well as settle the claim for the same value termed as IDV (Insured Declared Value"

https://www.marutiinsurance.com/faq.aspx

Does anyone know when this rule came into force? Is there a govt/ IRDA notification?

Sirji I think you are misreading the statement. What this article saying is that there is a fix structure for calculating the IDV as per the age so that insurance company will not and can not harass the customer for setting the insurance claims.

IDV - This word has only one meaning when it comes to insurance and that is INSURED (My friend this is me and you and not the insurance company) Declared Value.

IDV - Schedule (You will find this in your own motor policy as well)

For first 6 months 5% dep.
from 6 to 12 months 15%
from 13 to 24 months 20%
from 25 to 36 months 30%
from 37 to 48 months 40%
from 49 to 60 months 50% of Ex. showroom price.

Above 60 months (5 years) the Value has to be of an understanding between the insurer and insured.

Further if you still read this clause you will understand that it is clearly written that IDV has to be the market value of the car.

I am a firm believer that any law of insurance can not be against the policy holder and even if any such law is there in insurance then it has to change for the benefit of the client.

I had a word with the maruti insurance guys today and they told me that i can claim the damages by submitting a copy of the police report.

And I saw the insurance guys at MASS hammering a car with a few minor scratches , breaking down the headlight assembly, ripping open the bonut and then taking pictures so that they can make a claim of a much higher value after the customer has left.

hi,

The insurance for my i10 era is up for renewal in June-end. But I've already started getting bombarded by calls from various insurers -- all saying special offers if I renew NOW.

It started a month back with Chola sending a mail, quoting 8,400 as premium. A couple of weeks back I got a call from Reliance, quoting Rs7,000 + some free gifts.

Today, I got a call from Chola with a fresh quote -- Rs6,055 (but only if i renew before 31 May).

When I checked with my dealer, they said Reliance is their preferred insurer and they quoted Rs6,000 + a couple of free car washes thrown in.

Should I go with Chola or Reliance? Pls advise.
Thanks

Ask your service center guy which is the preferred insurer with him other then Icici and Reliance and go with them. Bajaj is the best in the business.

You have been quoted Rs. 8400 to 6000. I will advice you to check the Idv (car value) for all the quote. Make it sure that the Idv is not below 20% then the last year. It should be in the range of 10% to 20% below the last year's value.

IDV last year was 351,689.
This year it is 316,520. Is this negotiable??

ok, i checked with Bajaj Allianz.

They say the car's IDV is in the range of 3.07 lakh to 3.40 lakh

For 3.4 lakh, the premium is 7,000. (all quotes earlier from Reliance etc had taken IDV @ 3.16 lakh)

Should I get insured for the minimum IDV or the max??

Pls advice

Thanks
