Why Should You Buy Car Insurance in Guwahati?

Legal Compliance and Protection

Driving without car insurance in Guwahati is not just risky – it's illegal. Under the Motor Vehicles Act, every vehicle owner must have at least third-party insurance coverage.

Protection Against High Accident Risks

Guwahati's rapidly growing traffic density and expanding road network have led to increased accident risks. With the city being a major commercial hub.

Weather and Environmental Protection

Guwahati's unique geographical location and climate pose specific risks to vehicles. During the monsoon season, the city often experiences heavy rainfall and flooding.

Protection Against Third-Party Claims

In a bustling city like Guwahati, accidents involving third parties are common. Whether it's damage to another vehicle, property, or injury to pedestrians.

Types of Car Insurance in Guwahati

Comprehensive Car Insurance

Comprehensive car insurance provides complete coverage for your vehicle and protects against damage to others. Simply put, you get own damage coverage and third-party coverage under one plan. This can be great if you own a new car or your family relies on your vehicle every day, as it offers all-around protection. You can also increase coverage through 15+ add-ons* and specialised 3 EV add-ons*.

Pay-As-You-Drive Insurance (PAYD)

Pay-as-you-drive insurance charges you based on the kilometres you actually drive, ranging from 2,500 to 10,500 km yearly*. E.g., if you rely on the Kochi metro for daily commutes to work and only use your car on weekends, opting for PAYD can be more cost-effective. Our advanced telematics provides accurate kilometre tracking with flexible top-up options so you’re always covered.

Buy Now

Own-Damage Car Insurance (OD)

If you already have a third-party cover, you can buy our own-damage insurance to cover your car. This plan will cover damage due to accidents, natural disasters, and total loss due to theft or major accidents. For example, if your car’s undercarriage is damaged from driving through Munnar’s rough roads, this plan will cover the repair costs so you don’t have to pay out of pocket.

Buy Now

Third-Party Car Insurance (TP)

Third-party insurance is mandatory for every car owner in Kerala. It covers damage caused to other people, their vehicles or property by your car. Without it, you can face fines ranging from ₹2,000 to ₹4,000 and face 3 months of imprisonment. That’s why we offer both long (3 years*) and short-term (1 year) plan options for this plan. Plus, this is also our most affordable car insurance plan!

Q2. How does the engine protection add-on help during Guwahati’s monsoon season?

Ans. Engine protection add-on is an optional added protection cover you can buy along with your car insurance policy.

Since you cannot fully avoid waterlogging, or even the water entering your engine, you can at least prevent yourself from paying such enormous repair costs. That is why this add-on is highly recommended with car insurance in Guwahati.

Ans. A cashless claim simply means that you do not have to make any upfront payments for your car’s repairs.
