Motor Insurance
Comprehensive cover for your car and two-wheeler.
Overview
Motor insurance is the most transactional of the services we handle — you don't need a long conversation about life goals, you need the right cover in place before your renewal date, at a fair price, with a claims process that won't waste your time if something happens. That's exactly how we approach it: comparing comprehensive, third-party, and add-on options across insurers on price and claim-handling reputation, and making sure renewals don't lapse and quietly leave you uninsured.
Where we add the most value is in the details people tend to skip — whether zero-depreciation cover is worth it for your specific vehicle's age, whether your No Claim Bonus is being carried over correctly when you switch insurers, and what documentation you'll actually need on hand if you ever have to file a claim.

- Car and two-wheeler insurance
- Comprehensive, third-party, and zero-depreciation cover
- Quick policy issuance and renewals
- Claims support for accidents and repairs
Types of Motor Insurance
Third-Party Cover
The legal minimum — covers damage or injury you cause to others, but nothing for your own vehicle.
Comprehensive Cover
Covers your own vehicle's damage in addition to third-party liability — the practical choice for most owners.
Zero-Depreciation Add-on
Removes the depreciation deduction insurers normally apply to parts during a claim, worth it for newer vehicles.
Two-Wheeler Insurance
Follows the same third-party/comprehensive structure as car insurance, with its own pricing and add-ons.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Letting a policy lapse past its renewal date, which not only removes cover but can also forfeit an accumulated No Claim Bonus.
- Switching insurers without transferring the No Claim Bonus retention letter, and losing a discount that took years of claim-free driving to build.
- Skipping zero-depreciation cover on a new vehicle to save a small amount on premium, then facing a much larger out-of-pocket cost during a claim.
- Not updating the policy after selling a vehicle, which can leave the seller with liability exposure if the vehicle is later involved in an incident.
Insurance is the subject matter of solicitation. For more details on risk factors, terms, conditions, and exclusions, please read the sales brochure and policy wording carefully before concluding a sale. Amplifin Services acts as a facilitator/intermediary; final underwriting and claim decisions rest solely with the respective insurer.

Is third-party motor insurance enough, or do I need comprehensive cover?
Third-party cover is the legal minimum and only pays for damage you cause to others. It doesn't cover damage to your own vehicle. Comprehensive cover costs more but protects your own vehicle too — worth it for most owners unless the vehicle is very old and low in value.
What happens to my No Claim Bonus if I switch insurers?
Your No Claim Bonus (NCB) is tied to your claims history, not your insurer, so it transfers when you switch — you'll need an NCB retention letter from your previous insurer. NCB can reduce your premium by up to 50% after several consecutive claim-free years, so it's worth protecting.
Is zero depreciation cover worth the extra premium?
For a new or recent-model vehicle, usually yes — without it, the insurer deducts depreciation on parts during a claim, which can significantly reduce your payout on a repair. For an older vehicle, the add-on's cost-benefit is less clear cut and worth reviewing case by case.
What documents do I need to file a motor insurance claim?
Typically your policy copy, RC (registration certificate), driving licence, FIR (for theft or major accidents), and repair estimates or bills. Having these ready and notifying your insurer promptly after an incident makes the claims process considerably smoother.
Can I transfer my motor insurance policy if I sell my vehicle?
Yes — motor insurance must be transferred to the new owner within 14 days of sale, along with the RC transfer. This isn't optional; an untransferred policy can create liability complications for the seller if the vehicle is involved in an incident afterward.
What is IDV and why does it matter?
IDV (Insured Declared Value) is the maximum amount your insurer will pay if your vehicle is stolen or damaged beyond repair — essentially its current market value. A higher IDV means a higher premium but a larger payout in a total-loss claim, so declaring it accurately, rather than artificially low to save on premium, matters more than most people realise.
