Third Party Liability

Third party insurance is the most important insurance you should have. Under the Motor vehicles act of 1998 any two wheeler or four wheeler owner should have third party liability insurance because if your car meets any unfortunate incident at least you can cover the third party. So if any accident occurred by your car you can cover the damage by this third party liability insurance. Though it is a rule of govt. but the harsh reality is most of the car in India doesn’t have any insurance and that’s why if they met any accident they don’t get any money. But in this insurance you won’t get any money for your own car which means if your car theft or your car got any kind of damage the insurance company won’t pay you.

  • Name of the manufacturer and also make and model name.
  • The car engine’s cubic capacity.
  • The description of vehicle.
  • The car’s ex-showroom price, the main cost of that car plus tax.
The IDV of a car after 5 years is a mutual settlement between the insurance company and policy holder. You should remember the less premium you pay you get less coverage for your vehicle. From the first year to every year the premium of your car become low that means the IDV of your car is going low.

    This really have a effect on your premium because if you live in a urban area your premium will be high because there is a high chance of your car will be theft or can meet an accident. But if you are from rural are or small town your premium will be low.
  • Present showroom price

    The premium you pay that mainly depends on IDV. So if you have an expensive car your premium will be high.
  • The car model name

    The imported brands like Lamborghini, BMW, Audi, Ferrari charged more premium.
  • The car’s purpose

    If that car uses for commercial use that car’s premium will be high but if that car is for personal use then the premium will be low.
  • Safety devices

    Car companies are updating their cars day by day so now day’s cars have many safety gadgets and tools for stopping theft or stopping from any kind of unfortunate incident. ‘Kala Tika’ won’t save you from those but insurance will.
