Owning a vehicle has shifted from being a luxury to a necessity. Our day-to-day movement is dependent on our beloved vehicle and thus we always ensure that it is well maintained. While it is essential to keep tabs on its condition, ensuring that you have a motor insurance policy is equally important.
To encourage people to opt for motor insurance and secure themselves against a financial blow, we conducted a motor chat on Twitter. Here are 7 of the most common queries about motor insurance we came across during this exercise.
Q1. Does my two wheeler insurance cover my bike if it gets stolen?
Ans. Indeed! Your motor insurance covers your two wheeler in case it gets stolen. Make sure you lodge an FIR and register the claim immediately in case of theft.
Q2. Can I make a claim if someone else (with a valid driving license) drives my car and it meets with an accident?
Ans. Yes, you certainly can! However, we hope that you entrust your car in safe and sober hands only.

Ans. In India, as of now, these factors are not taken into consideration.
Q4. Does an insurance cover accidents occurring in the monsoons?
