What factors impact Insured’s Declared Value (IDV)?
IDV plays a key role in determining your car insurance price
In a car insurance policy, the Insured’s Declared Value (IDV) is the fixed value at which we insure your vehicle. We calculate the policy sum insured based on the manufacturer's listed selling price of the vehicle + the listed cost of any accessories. We derive the amount after deducting the depreciation for every year as per the Indian Motor Tariff.
Suppose you have installed any electronic item in the car, which is not included in the manufacturer's listed selling price. In that case, we add the actual value (after depreciation) of the item to the policy sum insured over and above the IDV.
How can you save on your car insurance premium?
No matter what type of car you drive, certain discounts can bring down your car insurance price -
No Claim BonusF
If you made no claims in the past years, you get up to 50% NCB.
Security measures
If you’ve taken special measures to keep your car from getting stolen, you are eligible for a discount. Typically, you would receive a 2.5% discount for fitting an anti-theft device (approved by ARAI) on your car.
It is unwise to reduce IDV to save on premium. In case of an accident, you would find yourself at a disadvantage. Instead, ride safe and take security measures to get discounts on car insurance.
