Add-ons Available Under Universal Sompo Car Insurance Plans

Add-ons are additional coverage benefits which can be chosen voluntarily by paying an additional premium. Add-ons help increase the scope of coverage of the Car insurance policy. Universal Sompo Car insurance plans offer the following types of add-ons with the comprehensive policy:

Car insurance policies do not cover depreciation. At the time of the claim, the insurance company deducts the depreciation on different parts of the car thereby lowering your claim amount and leading to out of pocket expenses. In such an instance, the nil depreciation cover is beneficial. The add-on removes the deduction of depreciation and enhances the claim pay-out.

Daily cash allowance provides a daily allowance if your car is at an authorised workstation for the repair of damages if the claim is covered in the policy. If your car is at the service station for more than 3 days, you would get a daily benefit for up to 5 days.

The Insured Declared Value of the car insurance policy is paid if your car is stolen or is damaged beyond repairs. IDV is the market value of your car after accounting for depreciation. However, with the return to invoice add-on, you can claim the invoice value of your car provided that your car is not older than 5 years.

This add-on provides additional coverage for a named family member in case of accidental death or accidental permanent total/ partial disability in any accident involving the car.

After completion of the repair, the insurance company will settle the claim directly with the network garage and allow you to take the delivery of your car.
