Add-Ons Available With Bajaj Allianz Private Car Insurance

1️⃣Zero Depreciation
Zero Depreciation, often referred to as ‘bumper to bumper’ coverage, is an optional add-on for your comprehensive Bajaj Allianz Private Car Insurance policy. While bumper-to-bumper coverage comes with a higher premium, it is generally well worth the investment. This add-on is highly recommended, especially if your car is less than 5 years old, as it ensures you get the most out of your insurance coverage.

To understand the concept of zero depreciation, it is important to first understand what depreciation means. Initially, when you buy a car, you pay quite a big price for it. However, as time goes on, your car's value decreases in the market. This reduction in value is called depreciation and it applies not only to the car but also to its spare parts. This is why older cars tend to have lower market prices compared to newer ones.

Now, with the zero-depreciation add-on, you essentially eliminate depreciation on your car. So, when you file an insurance claim, you will receive the full value for your car and all of its parts if you opt for the zero depreciation add-on. It provides protection against car depreciation and will also ensure that the depreciation applied to the parts of your car is waived.

2️⃣Engine Protector
The engine is a critical part of your car; repairing or replacing it can be quite expensive. But, the bad news is that standard car insurance policies do not provide coverage if it undergoes any damage. And this is exactly where the engine protector add-on comes in as the perfect solution. It covers damage to the engine caused by water ingression, oil leakage, hydrostatic lock, etc. With this add-on, you can save up to 40% on the costs of repairing your car's engine. It provides protection against engine and engine part damage along with coverage for differential parts, gearbox and gearbox parts.

3️⃣24/7 Spot Assistance
This add-on guarantees that you won't find yourself stuck on the road because of any car-related issues. Whether you need a tyre change, an expert to examine your car's engine or assistance in case of an accident, you can contact the insurer and they will provide the necessary help immediately. The add-on provides nationwide coverage, offering on-the-spot assistance for various car-related issues and contingencies.

4️⃣Key and Lock Replacement
Car keys tend to be some of the most frequently lost items - sometimes left at a hotel, misplaced at home or the office, etc. Replacing car keys can be costly as it often involves not just getting a new key but also replacing the entire locking system. This is where this add-on can help you. It is designed to minimise the expenses associated with lost or misplaced keys. The insurer will handle the entire process of purchasing and replacing your car's locks and keys.

5️⃣Consumable Expenses
Owning a car and maintaining it in good shape are two very different aspects. Once you buy a car, you need to frequently get it checked and make sure it’s functioning at an optimum level. Car maintenance comes with ongoing expenses, including servicing, replacing spare parts, changing various types of car oils - especially after an accident, etc.

The consumables cover is designed to handle the costs associated with consumables like engine oil, braking oil, coolant, gear oil, etc., used during service or repair work after an accident.

6️⃣Personal Baggage Protection
Your car serves as your personal and secure space. You may often keep your valuables like laptops, tablets, money, and other highly-priced items in it even when you are away from the vehicle. However, there is a risk of theft, especially in less crowded or remote areas. This is where the personal baggage add-on steps in to help! It protects your personal belongings and safeguards you against the financial losses you may face due to damage to or theft of your belongings in the car.

7️⃣Conveyance Benefit
This add-on offers great convenience by addressing the small but important challenges you may encounter in your daily life after an accident. If your car is in the repair shop and your claim is approved, this add-on ensures you receive a specific amount from the insurer for your daily commute. With this benefit, you will not have to worry about the expenses of daily transportation, such as cab fares, etc. while your car is being serviced.
