Comprehensive Car Insurance

knowledge

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.

animation icon
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.  

animation icon
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.  

animation icon
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.

animation icon
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.

Why IndusInd Car Insurance is Right for You

At IndusInd General Insurance (previously Reliance General Insurance), our car insurance plans are designed to adapt to your lifestyle and the way you drive. That’s why we offer AI-assisted claims via the Self-i app, a pay-as-you-drive option, and a wide range of 13+ add-ons* tailored for both fuel-based and electric cars. And that’s not all! As a policyholder, you get access to cashless repairs at 11,000+ network garages* across India and quick in-person surveys within 24 hours* if you opt for a guided claims process.

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
