All vehicles are insured for a fixed value known as Insured’s Declared Value (IDV). This is computed on the basis of the manufacturer’s listed selling price, inclusive of accessories (where applicable), after deducting appropriate depreciation based on the vehicle age.
There are two basic components of premium under the Policy. Liability premium is a fixed amount depending on vehicle c.c. while Own Damage premium rate (%) depends on vehicle c.c., age, model, operation zone etc. which is applied on the IDV. Extra premium is payable for the Extension covers, if opted for.
Premium discounts are available in the following situations:
- Automobile Association membership.
- Anti-theft device installation.
- Higher Voluntary Excess opted for.
- No Claim Bonus (NCB).
The discount for NCB is allowed at the time of renewal each year. It is expressed as a percentage of the Own Damage premium and increases from 20% to 50%, depending on the number of years of claim-free experience. It follows the fortune of the Insured and not the vehicle, which means that it will also be applicable on a substituted private car. It can be transferred from a different Insurer on renewal, subject to production of the required supporting documents. For NCB entitlement, renewal has to be effected within the stipulated expiry date, or maximum of 90 days thereafter. NCB will be lost on renewal, if any vehicle damage claim is lodged under the expiring Policy.
The Company may cancel the policy by sending seven days notice by recorded delivery to the insured at insured’s last known address and in such event will return to the insured the premium paid less the pro rata portion thereof for the period the Policy has been in force or the policy may be cancelled at any time by the insured on seven day’s notice by recorded delivery and provided no claim has arisen during the currency of the policy, the insured shall be entitled to a return of premium less premium at the Company’s Short Period rates for the period the Policy has been in force.Where the ownership of the vehicle is transferred, the policy cannot be cancelled unless evidence that the vehicle is insured elsewhere is produced.For the cancellation request, insured can also contact to our Toll Free number.
