Get the most out of your car insurance

Comprehensive motor insurance policy without Add-on covers, in reality is not comprehensive in its true sense. If motor insurance policy holder has to pay from his wallet (partly or fully) for replacing rubber or metal parts in case the car met with an accident, then the entire purpose of insurance gets defeated. One can overcome this if motor insurance is bought with some very useful add on covers like Engine protection, Road side assistance, Protection for no claim bonus, Nil depreciation, Return to invoice and Personal belongings. Furthermore, spare parts in high-end cars are very expensive. It is recommended that cars valued upwards of Rs. 8-10 Lacs should have Add-on covers as part of the motor comprehensive policy. This reduces the financial impact on the car owner in the event of a claim  http://www.myallagents.com/Get-the-most-out-of-your-car-insurance/details.html
