Add on insurance cover for vehicle: things to remember
Insurance of CNG kit
The rise of petrol and diesel prices has resulted in many car owners switching to diesel and LPG kits in their vehicles. The risk of fire increases in such kit during the summer. These kits can be insured with the help of certain additional premium policies offered by the companies.
No claim bonus and retention
This is a bonus that you get in case you don't opt for any claim within a year or after inception of the policy. In other words, it is a reward for your actions. These claims start from 20 percent and can go up to 50 percent depending on no claim made or pending during the preceding year of insurance. Earlier, a small claim used to nullify the "No claim bonus" from a policy holder. But, this is not the case now as many insurance companies are giving the offers of protection of this bonus up to a certain limit and additional premium.
