The dealer’s word is NOT the final word

Never, ever, ever (at the risk of sounding like Arnab Goswami) think that you MUST buy the insurance plan offered by your car dealer. If you thought the dealer was giving you the best policy, you might be in for a surprise.

Dealers roll out insurance on a new car and let you think that they are giving you a discount on that as well.

The fact is that a dealer-issued policy is never the economical choice.

They usually tie-up with a single insurance company and advise their plan at the time of selling the car. The plan may comprise of features that you would have to accept along with the plan, regardless of whether your car requires it or not.

For that reason, you should always take charge and be the judge of what policy you choose for your car.

Buying insurance online is super-convenient!

Insurance companies find a lot of joy in issuing policies for new cars, even more when you choose this online! They're so happy, they even offer exclusive rates and attractive premium offers online.

You will be surprised to find out that there are quite a handful policies which works out cheaper than the normal ones. Buying online always works out convenient, is time saving and paperless too!

Whoever you are, you will know the right add-ons:

Zero Depreciation

The zero depreciation add-on policy makes sure that the insured can get full claim of the value of car parts that have been damaged after an accident. It’s necessary for new cars and if you’re new to driving.

Roadside Assistance

Roadside Assistance comes to the rescue when your car breaks down and you’re a first-timer with no clue how to handle the emergency. Of course, you can scream red, black and blue at all those passers-by staring endlessly at a broken down car.

Your car is hardly few months old and they don’t know how much hurt you are.

Engine Protector

Your standard car insurance policy does not cover engine damages. Thus, an add-on dedicated to engine is a smart way to avoid high costs on replacement.

We know that in India water logging in the streets is a common sight every year. You’d go through a tough time handling your car once the monsoons hit the city. Engine Protection add-on helps immensely.

Invoice Protection

Invoice Protection cover car insurance add-on provides you with the option of getting entire reimbursement for the car. This is in case it gets damaged completely during an accident or any mishap. The benefit in this case is that the user does not have to pay 5% depreciation.

Just remember that it’s available on the first year of your buying the car.

No-Claim Bonus Protector

Without this add-on even a single claim can bring your accumulated NCB discount to 0%. You can make up to two claims and still not lose your NCB discount.

Personal Accident Cover

Personal Accident add-on includes the owner of the car as well as the driver for claiming the insurance. In case the owner is the driver and has undergone permanent damage or died due to an accident, the person or family is entitled to a 100% claim.

Just for the record, at Coverfox, we love new car owners too. We love it when we get to sort out confused newbies with clean and clear policies.
