I dont think so. Legally I think it is much more than that. Not sure on the days/years. May be some one can throw more light on it

What if the person is critically injured and not possible to raise a claim for 1 or 2 months ?

My current policy from Bajaj allianz mentions 6 hrs in case of theft and 48 hrs in case of accident. My earlier policy from Chola MS did not have it in the wordings, but there was a rubber stamp in Bold letters mentioning the same thing.

The Ins. co. might waive off this clause in case they find sufficient reasons like you mentioned, but its mentioned in the policy, so it is definitely legally binding.

I called them and now they want to get a certificate from TATA that there were no claims. They ahve written to them but claim have not heard from them as yet. The insurance was taken out in December 2011. How can I make them give me NCB to me now?

1. Did u have the Previous Insurance Policy for 1 year in your name or got it transferred to your name during the term. If the policy was not in your name for 1 full year then I think NCB will not be applicable.
2. Usually during policy renewal you can produce a Renewal Letter from previous company mentioning the NCB or submit the declaration letter
3. If you can get the NCB Letter/ Confirmation from other company you can pass an endorsement to the current policy.
4. What is Continental Insurance ? Never heard of that company.

Guys,

I have couple of questions regarding insuenace for new car.

1. Is the insurnace on new vehicle is determined based on Ex showroom price or on raod price?
2. When I check on bajaj allianz site for insurance quote, drive assure (zero dep) has some component called Voluntary Deductible. What is this? Should this component be nil or should be bigger value?

Thanks.

1. Insurance is based on IDV ( Insured Declared Value).

IDV = Ex.Showroom Price * Deprecation Factor .
Depreciation factor depends on Age of Vehicle. For New Vehicle Dep. Factor is 5 %

2. Voluntary Deductible is amount you would pay in case of a claim.

Eg. If Voluntary Deductible is Rs5000 and Claim Amount is Rs 12000. The Insurance Company would pay Rs7000 only towards the claim.

Opting for Voluntary Deductible will reduce the Insurance Premium. Suggest to have Vol. Deductible as '0'. In case you are confident your vehicle will not meet with accident or you want lesser insurance premium then opt for Higher Vol. Deductible.

My Baleno Insurance is expiring on 24th April and around first week of April i am planning to give the cheque to the guy for renewal of the policy. I have been getting emails form Bajaj Allianz every week and choose to ignore them (As i prefer talking to a human rather than an automated web application).

So as expected the guy calls up today, for renewal cheque, for an IDV of INR 288374/-.

SE: Sir the Baleno policy is up for renewal, on April 24th. When can i come and collect the cheque.
Me: What the IDV?
SE:INR 288374/-
Me:What was the premium last year?
SE:Sir INR ~9400/-
ME: Where is my no claim bonus?
SE:Sir its 35%
ME:35% NCB means INR 300/- drop in premium?
SE:Sir, i will check and call back.

Lets see what happens, but does this look normal, or is he trying to pull a fast one on me. This happened last year as well, and finally the premium dropped by few thousand Rupees. I am guessing it will be a similar story this time as well.

Who is this person who called you ? Was he an agent or from Call center ? You call up the Bajaj call center and check with them. Or go directly to branch office and check it out.

Better suggestion is you can try renewing through their website.

I recently picked up a pre owned SX4. Car is 2010 Oct make and regd Feb 2011 car. Owner had renewed insurance but just third party since he had intentions of selling. I have applied for the transfer of insurance on my name after receipt of the smartcard and hope would have been effected by now.
I bought the car for 5 lac. I was wondering about going for full comprehensive for 5Lac IDV. I contacted a few of them. Most of them suggested me to go for normally depreciated IDV of 6.8 Lac.

Now I have two questions
1. Do I really need to go for full comprehensive?
2. How much minimum premium can I expect?

Hey Sindabad.S

1) Its always advised to have your car fully insured as in case of accident other than depreciation charges all other charges are paid by insurance company.

2) According to me, you are looking around 18-20k as your premium on 680,000 as your IDV. Ask the company to reduce the IDV and your premium shall go down. And if your old vehicle had some NCB you can transfer it to your SX4

He was an agent. I have called up the call center and they mentioned the same premium, last year also this happened when they quoted 12K for the premium and after talking and threatening to move to some other insurer they came down to 9K, this year the same story.

My guess is a few days of talking tough will make them come down on the premium with the same IDV.

Thanks for the advise. Would start sailing again in abt a week. Would return after 4 months and would go for full compreshensive then. Time being got 3rd transfers completed.
You are bang on. Nationnal insurance quote is 16.8k. Bought the car on wife's name hence previous NCB went for a toss.

bajaj allianz drive assure is not Zero Dep , I just paid 50% from my pocket for the plastic side strips for my Car despite having bajaj allianz drive assure for two years in a row and this been the 1st claim in 4 years.

Voluntary Deductible was Rs 500/-
