Chandigarh, the joint capital of Punjab and Haryana, is one of the most well-planned Indian cities. Unfortunately, car accidents can occur in a well-planned city as well. If you are a resident of this city and own a car, this article is for you. Read ahead to know more about car insurance in Chandigarh.
In this section, we have listed ACKO’s car insurance plans for your four-wheeler.
This is the most basic car insurance policy. It is law-mandated and offers coverage against third-party liabilities. Its inclusions are third-party injury (including death) and property damage.
As you may have guessed, an Own Damage (OD) Cover offers coverage against damages to your own vehicle. Its prominent inclusions are car theft, impact-caused damages, and damages brought about by natural and manmade occurrences.
A Comprehensive Basic plan is a mixture of a Third-party and an OD Cover and offers the combined coverage of both the plans. An additional feature of this policy is the option to extend coverage by purchasing suitable add-ons.
Under this plan, you get the benefits of a Comprehensive Policy and free vehicle transportation services during claim-related repairs. However, if you forget to inform us before repairing your insured car on your own, you have to pay Rs. 5,000 as a deductible during claim settlement.
As you may be aware, vehicle components are subject to depreciation. However, ACKO’s Zero Depreciation Cover preserves the value of your car’s parts during claim calculation. To give you a clear picture, if you do not have this cover and your car endures an accident, you would be compensated with only a fraction of the damaged part’s cost, unlike the full value (as applicable) of the damaged parts if you have this cover.
This plan offers the coverage of Zero Depreciation Cover at a reduced cost. However, if you raise a damage-related claim, you have to first pay a deductible of Rs. 5,000 from your side before we pitch in.
A Personal Accident (PA) Cover is technically not a type of car insurance policy but is included here for explanation purposes. It offers compensation if the insured suffers accident-caused disability or death. This coverage is legally mandatory for all car owners.
Car accidents are unpredictable. While driving carefully and following traffic rules can help to reduce the probability of encountering accidents, certain situations are out of your control. For instance, you might drive carefully, but it’s difficult to say the same about other drivers in the city. Someone else’s mistake might result in your loss. That is why it is wise to insure your car with a wide-ranging car insurance policy.
Car insurance in Chandigarh is essential to ensure financial assistance in case of car-related mishaps. Besides, it is mandatory to insure your vehicle with at least a Third-party Liability Policy. Failing to follow this rule can lead to monetary penalties. Thus, it’s best to insure your car in Chandigarh and keep the policy active with timely renewals to follow the law and ensure financial safety.
