    Consider the Brand

    Range of Cover

    Range of cover is one of the most important aspects of car insurance. Most people buy car insurance to tick the mandatory insurance box. But it would help if you understood that car insurance is more than that – it's a financial cushioning that will help you during mishaps. If you purchase a comprehensive plan with a wide-ranging cover, you better prepare yourself for any hazards.

    Claim Settlement Ratio and Reviews

    The next thing to consider while buying car insurance is the claim settlement ratio of the car insurance provider. The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India periodically publishes a Claim Settlement Ratio of insurance companies. This ratio will help you gauge the company's ability to settle its claims. Additionally, consider testimonials, feedback, and online reviews to back up your research.

    Policy Portability

    Portability is one term that people often associate with mobile networks. In insurance, policy portability means switching between different car insurers. The concept of policy portability works similar to sim portability.

    Having a car insurer that offers this feature will help you switch to another insurer if you are unsatisfied. As a result, whenever you buy a policy, remember that this is not a lifelong commitment. Policy portability allows you to part with your insurer smoothy when renewing a plan. 

    Policy Terminology

    The current generation of car insurance providers is working hard towards offering a simplified insurance process. The good news is that helpful executives, responsive online websites, and user-friendly mobile applications help policy seekers have a positive experience. But while buying car insurance, do not forget to read through the fine lines. Insurance is a form of contract, and the terms in the agreement are essential.
