Understanding Car Insurance Types and Zero Depreciation Cover in India
Car insurance in India primarily includes third-party and comprehensive policies. Third-party insurance covers liability for injury or damage to others but not your own vehicle. Comprehensive insurance offers broader protection, including damage to your car from accidents, theft, or disasters. An optional zero depreciation add-on can reduce repair costs by eliminating depreciation deductions on replaced parts, especially beneficial for newer cars, though it increases the premium. Buyers should weigh coverage benefits against costs based on their car's age and value.
