FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

All FAQs

Third-party insurance is legally mandatory in India and covers injury or damage you cause to others, but it does not cover repairs to your own vehicle. Comprehensive insurance includes third-party liability plus own-damage protection for accidents, theft, fire, and natural disasters. If your vehicle is relatively new, adding Zero Depreciation cover avoids out-of-pocket deductions on replaced parts. On Insuremile, you can compare third-party and comprehensive plans across insurers to pick what fits your vehicle and budget.

Third-party cover is the legal minimum required to drive on Indian roads. It pays for injury, death, or property damage suffered by third parties in an accident, but pays nothing for damage to your own vehicle. Comprehensive cover includes third-party liability and pays for damage to your own vehicle from road accidents, theft, fire, and floods. Because insurers price own-damage cover differently, comparing quotes on Insuremile helps you find the best value for your vehicle.

Usually no, provided your details haven't changed. Insurers verify policyholder identity through the Central KYC (CKYC) registry. When you renew on Insuremile, the chosen insurer checks your CKYC record automatically. You only need to upload fresh documents if your address or identity details have changed, or if your prior policy did not have completed CKYC. We only process verification through official insurer channels.

No. Your No Claim Bonus belongs to you as the vehicle owner, not to the insurer or the vehicle. When you switch insurance companies at renewal through Insuremile, your accrued discount (from 20% up to 50%) transfers to your new policy. Simply enter your prior policy details and confirm you had no claims during the previous policy year; the new insurer verifies this and applies the discount directly.

First check that everyone is safe. Take clear photos and videos of the damage, vehicle positions, and registration plates before moving the vehicles. Next, notify your insurance company promptly to register the claim and get a claim reference number, as all claims must be filed directly with the insurer. If you bought through Insuremile, contact our claims desk (+91 96065 56069)—we will help you locate the nearest cashless garage and guide you through the insurer's paperwork.
