Commercial Vehicle Insurance

knowledge

Commercial vehicle insurance is a motor insurance policy designed to protect vehicles that are used for business or commercial purposes. It covers a wide range of vehicles such as trucks, buses, taxis, auto-rickshaws, cranes, forklifts and goods and passenger carriers, helping businesses stay financially protected while operating on the road.

This policy usually offers two types of protection: own damage cover and third-party liability cover. Own damage cover protects your vehicle against losses due to accidents, fire, theft, floods, earthquakes and other natural or man-made disasters, while third-party cover protects you from legal and financial liabilities if your vehicle causes injury, death or property damage to others.

As per the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, it is compulsory for every commercial vehicle in India to have at least a valid third-party motor insurance policy. Along with this mandatory protection, insurers like IndusInd General Insurance offer flexible commercial vehicle insurance plans that let you add broader coverage for better business security.

Why Do You Need IndusInd Commercial Vehicle Insurance?

Compulsory Under the Law

All commercial vehicles in India must have a valid third-party insurance cover under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. This helps you avoid legal penalties, fines, and business interruptions. A commercial auto insurance policy also protects you from heavy financial liabilities if your vehicle causes third-party injury, death, or property damage.

Complete Coverage for Your Business Vehicles

This insurance gives you both Own Damage and Third-Party Liability cover. Own-damage claims account for nearly 95% of all motor insurance claims in India, mainly due to frequent minor accidents and repair costs. Since most expenses arise from damage to your own vehicle, not third-party losses, TP-only cover isn’t enough. This is why OD + TP combined policies are preferred: they protect your vehicle and also cover legal liabilities, giving complete, practical protection for commercial use.

Tax Deductibility

Commercial vehicle insurance premiums can be treated as a business expense. This helps you reduce taxable income and lower your overall operational costs in a simple and legal way.

animation icon
One Plan for All Types of Vehicles

You can insure a wide range of commercial vehicles, including goods-carrying vehicles like trucks, tempos, pick-ups and LCV/HCVs, passenger vehicles such as buses, school buses, taxis, and commercial cars, construction equipment such as JCBs, excavators and cranes, as well as agricultural and commercial tractors.

Suits All Business Categories

This policy works well for fleet owners, logistics companies, cab operators, delivery partners, and contractors. It can be customised based on your business size, vehicle usage, and risk profile.

Business Continuity Assurance

With fast claims processing, cashless repair options and 24×7 assistance, this insurance helps reduce vehicle downtime. It protects your business from sudden and heavy financial losses, letting your operations continue without major disruptions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Who needs commercial vehicle insurance in India?

Any vehicle used for business, goods carrying, passenger transport or commercial operations must have valid insurance as per the Motor Vehicles Act.

Which vehicles are covered?

At IndusInd General Insurance, we cover a wide array of commercial vehicles, including - Goods-Carrying Vehicles: Vehicles like trucks, lorries, pick-up trucks, etc., that are used to transport goods, cargo, furniture or construction materials are covered. Passenger-Carrying Vehicles: Vehicles like school/intercity buses, cabs/taxis, vans, auto rickshaws, ambulances, and staff and other contract vehicles meant for transporting people are covered. Miscellaneous and Special Vehicles: Vehicles used for specialised purposes like cranes, bulldozers, JCBs and excavators, forklifts, and commercial two-wheelers are covered.

How is the premium calculated?

Your commercial vehicle insurance premium is based on several factors: the vehicle’s type, age, and usage (goods or passenger carrying), its location (RTO zone), and the IDV you select. Add-ons like zero depreciation or engine cover also increase the premium. Your claim history matters too—having a No Claim Bonus (NCB) reduces the renewal premium. This combination of risk factors helps determine your final price.

What are the benefits of buying/renewing online?

Buying or renewing online is quicker, cheaper, and more convenient. You can compare plans, check prices instantly, and complete the process in minutes without paperwork. The policy is emailed immediately, and you can access support or make changes anytime through the insurer’s website.

What types of commercial vehicle insurance exist?

Generally, there are two types of commercial vehicle policies - Third-Party Commercial Vehicle Insurance: This coverage is legally mandatory for all businesses using commercial vehicles. It only covers legal liability for damage your vehicle causes to others. This can include damage or physical injury to other people, vehicles, or property. Comprehensive Commercial Vehicle Insurance: This coverage covers third-party damage plus own vehicle damage from accidents, natural disasters, fire and theft. Simply put, it covers your own vehicle from damage and damage your vehicle may cause to others during an accident. At IndusInd General Insurance, we offer an all-inclusive, comprehensive commercial vehicle insurance policy that covers your vehicle/fleet from own damage and third-party damage. Call us today to get your quote!

Which documents are required for claims?

To buy vehicle insurance online, you will require the following documents: Vehicle registration number Vehicle make year and model details Personal details such as your address, age, photo and identity proof Driving licence Proof of business

How to choose the right commercial vehicle insurance online?

Look at what each plan covers, compare the premium, and see if you can add extra protection (like zero-dep or engine cover). Check if the insurer offers smooth claim settlement and 24×7 support. Also make sure you choose the right IDV so your vehicle’s value is properly protected.

What is the difference between TP and Comprehensive?

Third-Party (TP) only covers damage or injury caused to others. Comprehensive covers TP + damage to your own vehicle due to accidents, fire, theft, natural disasters, etc. It’s a much wider protection.

Is OD cover mandatory?

No, OD is not compulsory. But it’s strongly recommended because it protects your vehicle from accidents, fire, theft, and natural calamities. Without OD, you only have Third-Party cover, which doesn’t pay for your own losses.

Can I transfer NCB?

Yes. You can transfer your No Claim Bonus when you change your insurer or buy a new commercial vehicle. Just share your previous policy/renewal documents to carry the bonus forward.

What is a No Claim Bonus (NCB)?

No Claim Bonus (NCB) is the discount in your vehicle insurance premium enjoyed by you for not having made a claim in the previous year(s). This discount can be accumulated on a yearly basis, starting from 20% at first claim-free renewal, 25% in the second, 35% in the third, 45% in the fourth and 50% in the fifth and continued for subsequent claim-free years. IndusInd General Insurance (formerly Reliance General Insurance) has introduced the No Claim Bonus retention add-on cover with private vehicle insurance. This helps you to retain your valuable No Claim Bonus at a small additional premium.

What is the rate at which NCB is transferred?

The NCB will be transferred to Reliance General Insurance at the same rate you are entitled to get from your previous vehicle insurance company provider while renewing your vehicle policy. However, remember to provide the No-Claim Bonus certificate from your previous insurance company to ensure the transfer.

My policy expired; how can I renew in case of a break in my policy?

If your commercial vehicle insurance policy has expired, you can renew the policy by making a payment online through our website or the Self-i App.

Once the inspection request is logged online, how long does it take to get the vehicle policy?

Once a request is logged, the inspection process takes place within 24 hours. A successful inspection is followed by an online recommendation made to you, by the surveyor. Within 48 hours following that recommendation, you will have to log in to the website and convert your auto insurance policy. Failing to convert your policy within that time frame means that you have to go through the entire process again.

What is an endorsement? What is premium and non-premium bearing endorsement?

An endorsement is a written proof of an agreed change in the auto insurance policy, as and when the need arises. There can be two types of endorsements: premium bearing and non-premium bearing. In a premium-bearing endorsement, you will be charged an additional premium for things like transfer of ownership, addition of LPG / CNG kit, change of RTO location, etc. In a non-premium bearing endorsement, you won't be charged anything for the changes incorporated in the policy. For example, correction in contact details, correction in name, correction in engine / chassis number, addition of hypothecation, etc.
