Car Insurance in Howrah

Howrah, the second largest city in West Bengal, is a major transportation hub and gateway to Kolkata. It houses the Howrah Railway station, which is the oldest and biggest existing railway complex in India. It is also the headquarters of the Howrah district.

Vehicle owners in this area face major challenges due to high population, excessive traffic, poor road conditions, rash driving and bad traffic management. Vehicle thefts also take place frequently.

So, if you are a car owner in Howrah, you need to have a car insurance policy to make sure that you have enough financial coverage in the event of an accident or theft.

Besides providing financial cover after an accident, a car insurance policy has other roles too:

• Avoiding Legal Penalties: The Motor Vehicles Act of 1988  made it compulsory for vehicle owners to purchase a third-party cover. If you drive your car without a valid vehicle insurance policy, the authorities may punish you with a penalty of ₹ 2,000. Additionally, if you repeat this offence, this fine will rise to ₹ 4,000. In some rare cases, the authorities may also decide to suspend your driving licence and punish you with a 3-month jail sentence. Hence, apart from sudden financial loss due to unforeseen mishaps, a car insurance policy also saves you from unnecessary legal hassles.
• Select From Various car Insurance Policies: Digit has two types of vehicle insurance policies:

Third-Party Car Insurance – A third-party car insurance plan provides financial coverage for damages by your car to third-party vehicles, properties or individuals.

Comprehensive Car Insurance – A comprehensive car insurance plan provides financial cover for expenses due to damages to your vehicle and third parties in the event of any mishap.

• Add-ons To Extend Policy Coverage: Digit gives you the opportunity to extend the coverage of your car insurance policy with the help of add-ons. When you purchase a comprehensive car insurance policy, you can buy add-ons for nominal extra costs. They provide you with multiple benefits and help you out in a number of situations. For example – return to invoice cover. There can be situations in which your car gets totalled or damaged beyond repair in the event of a mishap. In such cases, if you have this add-on in your car insurance policy, we will pay the entire amount mentioned on the invoice. Other add-ons include zero depreciation cover, consumable cover, roadside assistance cover, etc.
• Personal Accident Cover: Having a personal accident cover is necessary when buying a motor insurance plan. It is a compulsory extension that you have to choose while purchasing a vehicle insurance cover as per the law. In case you suffer from bodily injuries or permanent disabilities due to an accident, this cover provides financial coverage for your medical expenses. In case the car owner dies, then the nominee will get the necessary compensation. So, a PA cover will secure your family financially.
