Coverage of car theft under your car insurance policy Find these add on riders

Owners will experience tremendous dejection at the thought of their vehicle being stolen. If you don't have the proper car insurance, dealing with a car theft may be very difficult and frustrating. Despite the fact that coverage against vehicle theft is a feature of every major car insurance policy, the precise terms and conditions of the coverage you choose when purchasing the policy will determine whether or not that feature applies to your case. Also, remember that even if your insurance covers car theft, the belongings of the stolen vehicles are not covered.

Two types of car insurance policies are offered by major insurers: package policies (comprehensive) and liability-alone (third-party) policies. Motor insurance companies will pay for third-party claims up to a certain amount. Complete coverage includes protection against both personal injury and car theft damages. The plan also offers add-on depreciation coverage, protection against no-claim bonuses (NCBs), etc.

When you file a claim at the insurance company for your stolen car, you should keep a few things in mind. You would be required to give your insurance company a no-trace report or an untraced automobile report that was sent to the local police along with your claim request for approval. Additionally, you will want a duplicate or copy of the registration certificate, which you may obtain from the RTO.

It should be mentioned that there are some add-ons that, although not widely used, are highly helpful to vehicle owners when they need them most. Various insurers provide different add-ons for automobile insurance. The majority of general insurance firms offer the following additional car insurance policy coverages:

• Zero depreciation additional coverage -

Your claim amount will go up if you have a zero-depreciation cover, which relieves you of the strain of paying for your vehicle's depreciation.
