Check Your Coverage Requirements: Before you set out to buy a four-wheeler insurance policy, you must check the coverage you exactly need. For instance, if you occasionally drive your car, you can get Pay As You Drive Car Insurance.

Compare All the Plans Available: Before buying a four-wheeler insurance policy, you should compare the options available. This will help you evaluate the best policy for your vehicle based on your budget and requirements.

Select the Right IDV: IDV, or the Insured Declared Value, is the exact market value of your four-wheeler. Hence, declaring the right IDV when buying a car insurance policy is important. The higher the IDV, the higher the premium amount, so selecting the appropriate IDV is very important.

Choose Suitable Add-ons: There are a number of add-ons available that you can include in your four-wheeler insurance policy to enhance its coverage.

Check the Claim Settlement Ratio: It is very important that you check the claim settlement ratio before settling on to buy any policy. The claim settlement ratio is the ratio between the number of claims raised to the number of claims settled. So, look for an insurer with a higher claim settlement ratio, as this will increase the chances of your claims settling.

Availability of Network Garages: Network garages are tied up with insurance companies and provide the option of a cashless repair facility. Hence, you should choose insurers that have a tie-up with a higher number of network garages.
