Universal Sompo Commercial Vehicle Insurance Add-Ons

You can include the following commercial vehicle insurance add-ons with your Universal Sompo policy:

Return to Invoice (RTI): The RTI add-on cover for commercial vehicles helps policyholders get the full invoice amount of their commercial vehicle in case it is stolen or damaged beyond repair (more than 75% of its current market value). It ensures a better claim amount and bridges the gap between the insured declared value (IDV) and the invoice price.
Zero Depreciation: With the zero depreciation add-on for commercial vehicles, the insurer will not deduct the depreciation costs on the repaired/replaced parts. Usually while filing for an accidental claim, the insurance company deducts the depreciation cost based on the age of the vehicle. However, with this add-on, you will be reimbursed for the whole amount without deducting the depreciation.
Roadside Assistance (RSA): With the RSA add-on cover in commercial vehicle insurance, you get emergency services like on-spot minor repairs, battery jumpstart, flat tyre change, etc.
