Comprehensive Car Insurance
Comprehensive Car Insurance is a complete motor insurance plan that safeguards both you and your vehicle. It includes the mandatory third-party liability cover as per the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 — protecting you against damages caused to others or their property, as well as any damages caused to your own car.
Whether it is a parking mishap or an accidental collision, you are covered under all circumstances. IndusInd comprehensive car insurance covers the cost of damages incurred due to accidents, natural disasters, fire and theft. You can easily file cashless claims via the Self-i app in any of our 11,000+ network garages*. You can also customise your policy with 13+ add-on covers* like nil depreciation, engine protect and roadside assistance, for all-round protection to your car!
This policy is ideal for private car owners who want extended financial protection by paying a slightly higher premium than a basic third-party insurance policy while ensuring complete protection in return.
Benefits of a Comprehensive Car Insurance Policy
Compliance With Indian Motor Laws
All car owners in India are required to have third-party car insurance coverage under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. If you’re caught driving without insurance, you will be fined ₹2,000 for the 1st offence, and ₹4,000 for repeat offences. In some cases, it may even result in up to 3 months of imprisonment. Luckily, you don’t need to buy a separate policy to ensure compliance. Our comprehensive car insurance offers third-party liability coverage that is bundled with own damage (OD) coverage, so you can just buy one policy to ensure legal compliance and all-around coverage for your car.
Covers Damages to Your Car
Minor dents, scratches and even major accidents are a possibility when navigating city traffic. While they may seem like one-off incidents, repair costs can be quite expensive. This can also be the case if your car is damaged due to a natural disaster like floods, landslides, cyclones or earthquakes. For example, storms or cyclones during the monsoon season can cause trees and debris to fall onto your car, causing dents or broken windshields. Thankfully, IndusInd comprehensive car insurance helps pay for car repairs resulting from accidents and natural disasters.
Third Party Liability Protection
The third-party coverage under comprehensive car insurance helps cover any compensatory costs you may have to pay another person if you accidentally injure them, or damage their vehicle or property with your car. For example, road accidents that involve another car are usually when this type of coverage kicks into place.
The third-party cover under your IndusInd comprehensive car insurance plan will cover the repair costs you owe to the other person, while the OD coverage will cover the repair costs for your car. Under our third-party liability coverage, you’re covered for up to ₹7.5 lakhs* in case of property damage, and unlimited coverage* for injuries/fatality caused to another person.
Access to Cashless Repairs
With IndusInd comprehensive car insurance, you are guaranteed cashless repairs at any of our 11,000+ network garages* across India. Use the Self-i app to quickly find your nearest network garage by tapping on “Quick Locator”, and instantly file claims with the live video claims feature.
We also ensure our network garages use genuine parts for repairs and replacement, so your car stays in good condition. To get the full benefits of your plan and our cashless garages, we recommend adding our 24/7 roadside assistance cover, where you get quick on-site repairs and towing assistance, so you’re not left stranded if your car ever breaks down.
Optional Personal Accident Cover
The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) mandates all car owners to have a Personal Accident (PA) cover with ₹15 lakhs of coverage. This is to ensure that the owner-driver of the car also stays insured in the event of an accident. We offer this as an optional cover that you can buy with your comprehensive car insurance. It helps cover partial/permanent disability sustained during an accident, and also covers fatalities due to road accidents. Simply put, under our car insurance policy, both you and your car are fully covered in case of an accident or collision. Now, if you have multiple vehicles, you do not need to buy a separate PA cover for all of them; you just need to buy one standalone PA cover.
Enhance Coverage with 13+ Add-Ons
You may think add-ons are an extra expense, but they actually save you money in the long run. For example, only 20% of policyholders opt for the engine protect add-on, despite engine damage being the most common claim filed during the monsoon season. The engine’s also the most expensive part of your car to repair or replace. Similarly, only half of all policyholders opt for the nil depreciation add-on. Without it, you only get partial reimbursement for repairs and replacement, so you’ll still be paying a large portion of your repair costs out of pocket despite being insured. Luckily, we offer 13+ add-ons*, along with 3 EV add-ons to ensure you can tailor your plan’s coverage to fit how you actually use your car.

Pay-As-You-Drive (PAYD)
Money Saver
A usage-based cover that allows you to pay premiums based on the kilometres you drive. Ideal for people who stay close to their workplace or have a secondary vehicle that is used less frequently. You can choose between 2,500 – 10,500 kms* with an option to top-up.
Return-to-Invoice
Money Saver
Imagine receiving the full price of your car in the event of complete irreparable damage or theft! With our Return to Invoice cover, you get the full invoice amount you paid when buying the car, including taxes and registration fees borne by you during purchase.
Engine Protect
Extra Car Protection
Car engines are expensive to repair and replace after an accident. Hence, this add-on covers damages due to engine malfunction, oil leakage, water entering the engine causing hydrostatic lock, etc., which otherwise cannot be claimed under your standard policy.
Tyre Protection
Extra Car Protection
Whether your car has tube or tubeless tyres, we cover the cost for repairs or replacement for bursts, bulges or cuts due to impact from potholes or accidents. Given how expensive tyre replacement can get, it is recommended that you opt for this add-on.
Key Replacement
Extra Car Protection
With smart keys or remote locking systems becoming the new norm for modern vehicles, it is essential to ensure protection against loss, damage, and theft. You're covered for the cost of replacing lost keys, repairing the lockset, or even reprogramming smart keys.
Consumables Expenses
Money Saver
The smaller parts of your car make a big difference during claims! This cover pays for the repair or replacement of items like engine oil, brake fluid, and nuts and bolts, etc., that are prone to regular wear and tear and are often not covered under a standard policy.
RIM Protection
Extra Car Protection
We pay for the repair and replacement of up to 4 rims if they are damaged due to accidents or poor road conditions. We cover factory-fitted rims, rims that have been installed via a third party and rims that have been upgraded post-purchase.

If your car breaks down, we help get it running again so you can quickly get it to the nearest garage for repairs. You're covered for towing, fuel delivery, flat tyre replacement, battery jumpstarts and on-site repairs. All you need to do is get in touch via the Self-i App.
Loss of Personal Belongings
Extra Car Protection
If your personal items, like your laptop, phone, or bags that cost more than ₹5000*, are stolen from your insured car, damaged during an accident or damaged during a theft attempt, you're covered for the value* of these lost items.
Daily Allowance
Money Saver
If your car is in the garage for repairs for more than 3 days, this cover gives you a daily cash allowance* to manage transport costs (cabs, train tickets, etc.) until your car is back. The allowance is determined based on your policy SI and value of your vehicle.
EMI Protection Cover
Money Saver
If your car is under repair at a garage for more than 21, 42 or 63 days, we help pay your car loan EMIs based on the tenure you opt for under your plan. It is ideal for individuals who have taken car loans and are paying monthly EMIs.
EV Battery Protection
EV Car Protection
This cover protects your EV’s battery against damage caused by water, moisture, power surge, mechanical shocks or explosions and accidents. Since EV batteries are expensive to repair and replace, this cover is recommended for all EV owners.
Electric Motor Protect
EV Car Protection
Repairing damage done to your EV's motor can be expensive. This add-on covers the cost of repairs if your EV’s motor is damaged due to short circuits, coolant leakage, water entering the motor, overheating or other electrical failures.
Electric Car Charger
EV Car Protection
This cover helps pay for the repair or replacement of your electric vehicle’s home charging unit (fixed unit and adaptor), whether it is damaged by rat bites, during accidents, theft, natural disasters, fires your charger will be protected at all cost.
No Claim Bonus Retention Cover
Money Saver
You get to still file up to 2 claims per year* without losing your NCB discount. E.g., if you have a 50% NCB discount, any claims you make without this cover can result in you losing that discount. It's perfect for car owners who don't want to lose their high NCB discount but still want to have the option to file claims for any car damage.
Electrical Accessories Cover
Extra Car Protection
Modern four-wheelers already come equipped with audio systems, rear-view cameras, AC and GPS units, which are typically included in your base car insurance policy. However, any electrical upgrades made to your car after purchase can only be safeguarded with this additional coverage.
Non-Electrical Accessories Cover
Extra Car Protection
If you have installed CNG kits or designer seat covers in your new car, you're covered for any damage or loss caused to those upgrades by an accident or theft. Models that already include these features on purchase are protected under the standard policy, but any upgrades after purchase need this add-on to ensure coverage.
Geo Extension Cover
Adventure & Travel
Planning a road trip to Nepal, Bhutan or Srilanka? This add-on extends your policy coverage to India’s 6 select neighbouring countries* - Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives - and gives you car insurance coverage even when outside India.

Key Takeaways
The right car insurance policy not only ensures you’re legally compliant but also helps reduce your out-of-pocket expenses in the long term. With the Indian government cutting GST on cars from 28% to 18%, car prices are set to fall. This means cars will be more affordable, encouraging more car ownership in the future. However, having more cars on the road can also lead to increased congestion, traffic, and a higher likelihood of minor collisions, resulting in more dents and scratches. Hence, a comprehensive car insurance policy is essential to protect against these damages.
That’s where we can help. IndusInd comprehensive car insurance covers repair costs for your car and third-party damage if you damage someone else’s vehicle or injure them in an accident. We cover damage due to accidents, natural disasters, fires, total loss and theft.
This type of coverage is particularly useful for new car owners, urban drivers, high-value car owners, and anyone who depends on their car for daily transport or uses their car frequently. While premiums are slightly higher than a basic third-party plan, protection is far broader.
We also offer up to 90% discount* on premiums. And if you own a second car and don’t use it much, you can further cut down premium costs by opting for our Pay As You Drive (PAYD) add-on. It gives you more control over what you pay for insurance since you only pay for the distance you drive rather than a flat yearly rate. As one of the first insurance companies to introduce Pay As You Drive insurance, we offer flexible kilometre options from 2,500 to 10,500 km*, mid-year policy top-ups (500 km*) and the ability to carry forward unused kilometres to the next year on renewal.
We also offer plenty of other add-ons like Nil Depreciation, Engine Protect, and Roadside Assistance, so you can further enhance coverage under your comprehensive plan. Our 13+ add-ons also include 3 EV-specific add-ons for electric and hybrid car owners.
Filing claims under your IndusInd comprehensive car policy is also much easier with the Self-i app. We offer a video claims feature, AI-assisted query resolution and a handy garage locator for cashless claims at any of our 11,000+ network garages*.
With IndusInd General Insurance, you get smart savings and complete protection for your car on every journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is comprehensive car insurance?
It's a type of car insurance policy. Comprehensive car insurance covers damages to your vehicle from accidents, theft, natural disasters, and vandalism, along with third-party liabilities. In other words, it combines own damage and third-party damage protection under one plan to provide all-around protection, safeguarding your car against various risks.
Can I claim comprehensive car insurance for scratches?
Yes, you can claim comprehensive car insurance for scratches, as it covers damages to your vehicle, though it's advisable to consider the claim's impact on your No-Claim Bonus. If you have accumulated an NCB discount, we recommend getting our NCB retention add-on so you still have the option to file claims under your plan without losing your NCB discount.
Which is the best car insurance policy?
The best car insurance policy depends on your budget and coverage needs.
For example, we recommend comprehensive car insurance for daily drivers, new car owners or luxury car owners since it offers broader coverage. If you own multiple vehicles or don't use your car often, pairing your comprehensive car insurance with our pay-as-you-drive add-on can help you save on premiums since you only pay for the distance you drive per year, resulting in much lower premiums. Similarly, a third-party insurance car policy is best if you're on a budget or only want to ensure legal compliance.
Overall, it's best to first assess how you use your car to know exactly what you need coverage for.
Is the claim process different for comprehensive and third-party insurance?
The claim process for comprehensive and third-party insurance is similar. However, comprehensive insurance claims require a different set of documents, while third-party claim approaches differ. For either claims process, you will still need to inform us via our helpline or the Self-i app.
