An OD cover provides coverage for damages or total loss occurring to your vehicle. The inclusions under this cover are vehicle theft, accident-induced damages and losses due to natural and man-made catastrophes.

3. Comprehensive - Basic

This cover provides the benefits of both the Third-party and OD Cover. So, you are covered against third-party liabilities and loss or damage occurring to your own vehicle.

This plan offers all the coverages of a Comprehensive - Basic Plan, plus an added benefit that offers a superior claims experience. As per this plan, if you raise an accident claim, we will get your car repaired at a network garage and deliver it back to you at zero cost. Nevertheless, keep in mind that if you get repair work done without informing us, you need to pay a deductible of Rs. 5,000.

This plan includes all the coverages of a Comprehensive - Basic Plan, plus protection against the depreciation of vehicle parts.

As may be obvious by its name, this plan offers all the coverages of a Zero Depreciation plan, but at a discounted cost. The only catch is you have to first exhaust Rs. 5,000 as deductible from your side before the benefits of this plan kick in. So, if you are sure of your driving skills, this plan may be a good cost-saving insurance option for you.

7. Zero Depreciation - Super Saver

This plan provides the benefits of a Zero Depreciation - Basic Plan. You also can avail of a free pick up, repair and drop service for approved repairs. Just be careful to inform us before getting your car repaired on your own. Because, if you don’t, you will have to pay a deductible of Rs 5,000 from your side.

8. Personal Accident Cover

A Personal Accident Cover is not technically a motor insurance plan. Nevertheless, it is a compulsory requirement as per Indian road laws. It provides monetary compensation if the insured unfortunately incurs bodily disability or death due to an accident.
