• Extend Your Policy Coverage With Add-ons: A comprehensive vehicle insurance plan allows you to include various add-ons. They come at extra expenses but will be helpful in various situations. These add-ons will provide additional coverage. Take the instance of roadside assistance cover. If you are stranded with a broken-down vehicle, we will provide you with financial assistance for all repair or replacement costs required. You also get coverage for the costs of towing your car. You can also choose passenger cover as an add-on. A car insurance policy generally provides financial cover only for the driver. This add-on will financially cover the passengers in your car in case of any mishap. Other add-ons include tyre protect cover, zero depreciation cover, etc.
• Avoiding Fines: It is a punishable offence if you drive your car without a valid vehicle insurance policy. As per Motor Vehicles Act of 1988, all vehicle owners should have a third-party insurance cover. Therefore, if the authorities catch you driving without one, there will be a hefty penalty of ₹ 2,000. This fine will rise to ₹ 4,000 for subsequent offences. Additionally, you may also be punished with a 3-month prison sentence and suspension of your driving licence.

Thus, other than protecting you financially after a mishap, a car insurance policy also helps you avoid legal penalties.
