A Standard Comprehensive car insurance policy is not a one-size-fits-all coverage and you should modify it based on your requirements. A few things you should consider are how much coverage you need to protect your car and what can add value to the coverage. And that's where the role of add-on covers comes into the picture.

What is an Add-on Cover in Car Insurance?
Jump Tag Icon

In case of an unfortunate accident, you may have to deal with an unplanned financial crisis. Third-party liability insurance does not provide coverage for own damages.

While the Comprehensive Plan secures you against damages to your car, it may miss out on a few liabilities such as depreciation, engine damage, consumables repair cost, car breakdown in the middle of the road, etc.

When you need extended coverage, add-on covers in car insurance add value and provide that extra edge over the regular car insurance policy.

Protect Your Car’s Depreciation

The value of the car’s parts will reduce due to wear and tear with time. This is called depreciation. While settling claims, the insurance company doesn’t cover the depreciation cost, and you have to bear the remainder of the repair bill. However, you can avoid the depreciation cost by opting for the Zero Depreciation add-on cover.

Below are some of the common queries about add-on covers offered in car insurance.

Commonly asked questions about car insurance add-on covers

Icon

Do add-on covers affect the car insurance premium amount?

Yes. It slightly increases the premium amount of the Standard Comprehensive insurance policy since you can take advantage of the wider coverage.

Is there a different claim procedure if you buy these add-on covers?

The process remains similar to raising claims under the Standard Comprehensive car insurance policy. You will have to follow the procedure mentioned by the insurance company (in this case ACKO) for any claim during the policy period.

Why is an add-on cover important?

While the Third-party Liability plan covers you for injuries to someone else and damages to their property, the Own Damage plan covers liabilities arising from damages to your car.  However, the Standard Comprehensive car insurance does not provide additional coverage such as engine-related repairs, breakdown in the middle of a road, etc. For example, the Zero Depreciation add-on cover does not consider the depreciation value of the car parts replaced or repaired while settling claims. With this add-on, you can avoid paying from your pocket.

Is it mandatory to buy add-on covers for cars?

While it is not mandatory to buy add-on covers, it does add value and enhances your regular car insurance by offering additional financial coverage. Select only those add-ons that can add value to your car. 

What is the difference between Zero Depreciation and Comprehensive Insurance?

While settling a claim under the Standard Comprehensive plan, ACKO will consider the depreciation of car parts and then settle the repair bill. You will have to pay the remainder from your pocket. However, with the Zero Depreciation add-on, the depreciation of car parts that are being replaced or repaired is not considered by ACKO. The complete repair bill is paid by ACKO in this case.
