Reputation of the company and its past history: Nowadays the general insurance industry is cluttered with several players with different backgrounds. Many of the companies are newly formed and don’t have any past record in financial industry. We’ll definitely advise to all to select a company with a stable background. You may also consider the criteria ‘is the company running in profits or is it still bleeding in losses’?

Online Quote of the Insurance: We’ll always advise all the customers to check the online quotation of your desired car insurance before taking a purchase decision. The Online Quotation will provide you summarised details of the cost you are going to incur against the benefits you desire.

IDV of your Vehicle: Insurance Declared Value of your vehicle provided by the Insurer is a critical factor while choosing insurance covers. We always advise customers to choose appropriate IDV and never compromise for a low IDV because of cost. IDV determines the price of your possessed asset.
