Goa is probably one of the most popular holiday destinations in India. Its sandy beaches, active nightlife, World Heritage-listed architecture, and places of worship attract tourists both from India and abroad.

This high inflow of tourists and partygoers leads to massive traffic congestion. Furthermore, rash driving, inefficient traffic handling and poor road conditions often lead to unfortunate incidents and vehicular damages. Vehicle thefts also take place frequently.

Therefore, if you are a car owner in Goa, having a vehicle insurance policy is of utmost importance. A car insurance plan will help you protect yourself from financial losses due to theft, accident or other car damages.

In case you are looking for a reliable insurance policy provider, you can end your search by opting for Digit.

• Options to Customise the IDV of Your Car: The IDV or Insured Declared Value of your car largely influences the sum insured and premium amount of your car insurance policy. In order to maintain transparency, Digit allows you to customise the IDV based on your convenience. Do remember that you have to pay a higher premium if you set a higher IDV.

Other than providing financial coverage in the event of an accident, a car insurance plan has other roles too:

• Preventing Legal Issues: The Motor Vehicles Act of 1988 mandates every vehicle owner to have at least a third-party insurance cover. If the authorities catch you driving without a valid vehicle insurance policy, there will be a hefty fine of ₹ 2,000. Moreover, if you are found repeating this offence, this penalty will increase to ₹ 4,000. In addition, the authorities may also punish you by suspending your driving licence or 3 months of imprisonment.
• Personal Accident Cover: A personal accident cover is a compulsory extension that you have to take while opting for a car insurance policy. It protects you financially if you are injured or permanently disabled in the event of an accident. This cover will also protect the car owner's family financially in case of your death. The personal accident cover will offer assistance in case of loss of family income.
• Choose Among Various Car Insurance Policies: Digit offers three types of car insurance policies. They are:
  • Comprehensive Car Insurance
  • Third-Party Car Insurance
  • Own Damage Car Insurance

These three policies differ in terms of benefits and costs involved. So, choose one as per your requirement.

• Options to Choose Add-ons: When you choose a comprehensive car insurance plan, you can expand its coverage with the help of add-ons. They come at nominal extra costs but help you out in different situations. For example, you can opt for passenger cover. This add-on will ensure that the passengers in your car get financial coverage in case of an accident. As a driver, you are responsible for the safety of the passengers. Thus, having this add-on in your vehicle insurance will financially safeguard your passengers. In addition, you can also opt for roadside assistance. This add-on can be beneficial when you are stranded on the road with your car broken down. Digit will cover the cost of repair and replacements. Furthermore, this add-on also compensates expenses for towing services, taxi services, etc. The best thing about the Roadside Assistance add-on is that you can avail its benefits 24/7.
