Factors Affecting Car Insurance Premium
Jump Tag Icon

The car insurance premium is calculated after determining several factors that are listed below. ACKO uses a combination of these factors and its proprietary algorithms to tailor the best insurance rates for your car.

icon

Car Make and Model
Jump Tag Icon

Every car has a different cost of repair and cost of spare parts. Since car insurance covers the cost of damages, theft, etc., the insurance premium differs from one car to another. In simple words, the higher the cost of the car, the higher the premium.

icon

Policy Coverage
Jump Tag Icon

Another crucial factor that dictates the insurance premium is the policy coverage. The premium depends on what type of plan you choose. There are mainly three plans you can choose from: Third-party, Own Damage and Comprehensive, and the premium differs for each plan.

icon

No Claim Bonus (NCB)
Jump Tag Icon

NCB is a discount for not filing a claim in the previous policy year. NCB is retained even if you switch insurance companies. NCB discount increases for every consecutive claim-free year and goes as high as 50% discount on the premium.

icon

Insured Declared Value (IDV)
Jump Tag Icon

IDV is the approximate market value of your car. With a comprehensive policy, the insurance company will pay the IDV amount in the event of total damage or theft. Higher IDV leads to higher premiums.

icon

Add-Ons
Jump Tag Icon

The car insurance premium also depends on the add-ons you choose, along with the base policy. You can select additional benefits for your policy, like Zero Depreciation, Engine Protect, Roadside Assistance and more. However, they come at an extra cost, which increases the car insurance premium.

icon

Discounts
Jump Tag Icon

Insurance providers offer many types of discounts for good behaviour like driving safely, renewing policy ahead of expiry and much more. You can use them to enhance your coverage or save on your premiums.

icon

Compulsory Personal Accident (PA) Cover
Jump Tag Icon

As per law, buying a Personal Accident cover is mandatory if you drive a car in India. It offers you coverage of up to Rs. 15 lakhs against accidental injuries or death. Buying this cover will increase the car insurance premium.

icon

Goods and Service Tax (GST)
Jump Tag Icon

Once you have customised and finalised the car insurance plan you wish to buy, 18% GST will be applied to the final premium amount. It is applicable to car insurance plans of all general insurance companies in India.
