Hyundai Creta Insurance

It is important for Hyundai Creta owners to insure themselves against damages and/or loss caused by accidents, theft, and other associated risks – not only to one's vehicle and/or person, but also to third-party vehicle/s and persons that may suffer damage or loss directly caused by the incident.

The on-road price usually includes the Car Insurance policy for the first year. Typically, the showroom takes care of the related formalities. As the expiry date of the policy approaches, one may simply opt for a Hyundai Creta car insurance renewal or purchase a new policy.

Types of Car Insurance For Hyundai Creta

There are two basic types of the car Hyundai Creta car insurance policies one can opt for: 

• Third-party insurance:
• This protects the insured against any expenses incurred by way of compensation for vehicular damage or physical harm caused to a third party in an accident involving the vehicle insured. This type of insurance is mandated by law since the insured may or may not personally possess the financial wherewithal to meet these expenses.
• Comprehensive insurance:
• This protects the insured against expenses incurred by way of compensation to third parties as described above. It also protects them against damage or loss of the vehicle insured caused due to accident, theft, fire, or other natural disasters.

It's important to note that while comprehensive insurance is not mandatory, it is highly advisable since expenses incurred due to damage to one's own vehicle and/or associated physical injuries can be exorbitant and financially crippling.

Some insurance companies also offer stand-alone own vehicle insurance – but this usually has very few takers – since separate third party insurance + own vehicle insurance is far more expensive than comprehensive insurance. 

Insurers may also offer a variety of add-ons, including: 

• Roadside assistance
• Key part replacements
• Zero depreciation (for cars under 5 years old)
• No claim bonus
• Passenger injury cover
