Tata AIG Zero Depreciation Car Insurance Cover

In the absence of a zero depreciation cover, the Tata AIG General Insurance Company will deduct the applicable depreciation amount from the current manufacturer’s price of the insured car to arrive at the four wheeler’s IDV. Thus, this add-on cover enables the car owner to receive the full IDV of his/her car in the event of a total loss or theft of the vehicle.

Since zero depreciation is an add-on cover, a car owner needs to buy it separately under his/her Tata AIG car insurance policy on payment of an additional premium amount. Moreover, this add-on is available only under package policy and standalone own damage car insurance policy.

Benefits of Buying Tata AIG Zero Depreciation Car Insurance Cover

Take a look at some of the benefits of buying the zero depreciation add-on cover from Tata AIG General Insurance Company:

• Higher Claim Amount - It allows the policyholder to receive a higher claim amount from the Tata AIG General Insurance Company during the settlement of claims. This happens because no amount of depreciation is considered on the fibre, rubber, nylon and plastic parts of the car. However, only 50% of the depreciation value applies to the batteries, tyres and tubes of the insured car.
• Reduces Out-of-Pocket Expenses - It reduces the out-of-pocket expenses of the car owner as he/she does not have to bear the value of depreciation applicable to the insured car and its parts.
• Saves Money - It helps a car owner to save money in the long run as it enables him/her to get a higher claim amount and prevents him/her from incurring a financial loss. The cost of this add-on cover is way lower than the out-of-pocket expenses that he/she may have to pay in the absence of the zero depreciation cover.
• Amplifies Policy Coverage - The zero depreciation cover amplifies the coverage level of the car insurance, thereby, reducing the out-of-pocket expenses of the car owner.
