I booked a Honda City 1.5 V MT recently. The ex-showroom price of the car is Rs 8,99,000.00. The insurance quote from Honda dealer(Pride Honda, Hyderabad) was Rs 25,872.00.

I got a quotation on my own from ICICI Lombard(Rs 18,645.00), Bajaj Allianz(Rs 20,885.00) and Iffko-Tokio(Rs 20350.00).

Why is there such a price difference between what the dealer quoted and the other quotations obtained outside?

At Bajaj Allianz, the first quotation given was for Rs 23,250.00(approx.) and I was told by the agent that I am being given 25% discount, when I said I have a quotation for Rs 18,645.00 from ICICI Lombard, he gave me another quotation which was for Rs 20,885.00 and said I am now being given 40% discount. Is it possible to get any further discounts? How is this calculated?

I think what it means is that when you transfer a vehicle to someone the insurance automatically gets transferred to that person.

And it's the responsibility of that person to get the insurance papers changed in his name in 14 days.

rj you can add to this.

Buddy take care of the IDV that should be less 5% from the ex-showroom cost of the car.

Discount is the only major reason of difference in premium.

Hi Rupesh,

I am planning to buy a used car sep 05 model with no claim history, i guess the NCB is 45%. Should I ask for a price discount and only TP insurance and let the owner cancel and encash the comprehensive insurance and buy a seperate insurance cover myself as it's just 3 months since last insurance started and I am likely to lose next years NCB too as it would be less than an year when next insurance becomes due.

Also if the owner didn't get any discount (up to 30-40% as mentioned several times here) before deducting NCB in his policy would not taking a comprehensive cover from him and getting a discount make more sense? In that case can I negotiate a discount on premium (not a NCB) from insurance company for a used car model while taking a new policy. The deal will be around Rs 2.5 lacs, what could be best rates for insurance without any NCB for that amount.

Easy option for you is for going for new insurance policy. Remember one thing NCB is something which is owned by the seller and that can not be transfer. Please go for 3 different insurance quotes and you will get the approx idea.

Wow, this is one great thread to resolve our insurance queries..! Great job rjvora!

I own a Dec-2007 mfg. Alto LXI and having a National Insurance (through Maruti) policy on which there is no claim till date. I have also added cover for electrical accesories (Pio HU & Speakers) worth Rs.14,250/-

The policy would be due for renewal in Jan-09, I have got the following quotes,

Current Policy:
National Insurance
IDV: 2,44,343
Total Premium: 6,089
Discounts: Got Petrol vouchers worth Rs.1,000 from the dealer.

Quote Received:
TATA AIG (Quote Received through their Call Center)
IDV: 2,08,800
Total Premium: 5,755 (0% Depreciation)
Total Premium: 4,834 (With Depreciation)

National Insurance (Online Quote)
IDV: 2,13,331
Total Premium: 5,347
(I am sure I will get some discount like last renewal once I approach the dealer)


What do you suggest? Which option is the best?

I am tempted to go for Tata AIG just for the 0% depreciation scheme.
But not too sure whether it actually works. Do they really make the claim cashless? And how complex is their calim process?

Increase the IDV and go for 0% dep. car insurance, It look's good to me.

Hi rjvora,
I bought a car in sept 2009.Car got a dent on left front door.There is no scratch.Don't know how it happened.Dealer was saying around 5k.Since it was almost not visible i left that.Now i got a scratch on front bumper while i was removing car from parking.
So can i claim for insurance for both of these?
How do i explain this? as i don't know how the dent happened

Hi,

I am buying a new i10. Hyundai is offering the insurance from their side for 14,651 for a showroom price of 396,219. As part of year end offer, they are giving 1st year insurance free.
Outside insurance is 9,000 to 10,000 with Bajaj Allianz, ICICI Lombard, etc
If I dont take the insurance from dealer, they will give more discount of 10,000 odd - so it will come to same thing while using that 10,000 to buy insurance outside.

I am not sure what to do in this scenario - considering the next years. In 2nd year, the 14K will reduce by 20% or so v/s outside 10K which will reduce by 20%.
At the outset, taking insurance outside seems beneficial - but I am unable to understand the math behind it.
Can you guys please advise?

Thanks,
Sam
