    • IDV – IDV is the maximum amount you can claim under your policy. The higher your car’s market value, the higher your IDV and premium will be.
    • Make & model - Higher-end models are insured at a higher price simply because the cost of repairs/replacement for such vehicle is high.
    • Fuel type - Repairing petrol-fuelled cars are cheaper than those that run on diesel and CNG. As a result, they are also less expensive to insure.
    • Year of manufacture – Certain new cars may be costly to cover since their spare parts may not be available yet.
    • Location - Since urban areas have denser traffic, there’s a greater probability of accidental damages. Thus your premium may vary depending on your location.
    • Claim history – If you have made no auto insurance claims in the past year, you stand to gain a No Claim Bonus on your premium.
