Plan with precision

Know your numbers before you buy.

Seven calculations our advisors run every day, and a reminder service that does the remembering for you. They update as you type. Indicative, not a quotation: a formal recommendation follows underwriting, but these put you in the right ballpark in seconds.

Enter today's replacement values — not book values — to see the sum insured a fire policy should carry, and what under-insurance would do to a claim under the average clause.

These are indicative estimates from standard advisory formulas, not a quotation or a guarantee of insurability. Your actual cover depends on underwriting, health, occupation and the policy wording. An advisor will refine them with you.

Plain-language answers

Questions you might be
asking before you call us.

What makes RFS different?

Many providers simply sell policies. We assess your risk first and arrange cover second. That shows up in three concrete ways: a recommendation matched to your actual exposure, sector-specific policy wording for industries like mining, chemicals and hospitality, and active claims support that does not end once the policy is issued.

What is the difference between using an advisor and going direct?

Going direct to an insurer leaves you to interpret policy language and handle claims on your own. Working with an experienced advisor like RFS means cover matched to your actual risk, guidance across leading insurers' products, and someone who stays engaged through renewals and claims. That difference matters most when something goes wrong.

How does RFS get paid, and does it influence the advice?

Our recommendations are guided by your risk and your needs, not by sales targets. We are glad to walk you through the options we considered and why we recommended what we did, and where you ask us to, we will document that comparison in full.

What happens if I already have policies in place elsewhere?

We can review your existing programme without any obligation to move it. The output is a written report flagging coverage gaps, redundancies, sub-limit risks and renewal opportunities - the same document we would prepare for an internal audit. If the existing arrangement is sound, we will say so. Where it is not, you decide what to do with the information.

Comprehensive motor insurance for private cars and two-wheelers covering own damage, third-party liability, theft and natural perils.

What Your Policy Covers

A structured placement designed to close every material gap in your risk exposure, not a standard policy sold off the shelf.

Own Damage
Covers the cost of repairing or replacing your vehicle following accidental collision, overturning, fire, self-ignition, lightning, theft, riot, malicious damage, cyclone, flood, earthquake and impact.
Third-Party Bodily Injury
Mandatory cover providing unlimited liability for death or bodily injury caused to third parties by your vehicle. The premium for this section is fixed by IRDAI and is non-negotiable.
Third-Party Property Damage
Covers legal liability for damage caused to third-party vehicles, buildings or property, up to ₹7.5 lakh under the current Motor Vehicles Act provisions.
Natural Calamity Cover
Included within the own damage section, covering physical loss from flood, earthquake, cyclone, landslide and inundation, increasingly relevant given the frequency of urban flooding in major Indian cities.
Zero Depreciation (Add-on)
Waives the standard depreciation applied to replaced plastic, rubber and fibre parts during a claim, ensuring you receive the full cost of repairs, not a depreciation-reduced settlement.
Owner-Driver Personal Accident
A compulsory ₹15 lakh personal accident cover for the registered owner-driver under IRDAI regulations, covering accidental death and permanent total disability while driving the insured vehicle.

Our Approach

The Right Insurer Is Worth More Than the Cheapest Premium

Renewing your motor policy with the same insurer every year, or selecting the cheapest available, is the most common reason clients end up with inadequate cashless access, disputed IDV settlements and slow claim processing. We evaluate insurers on the criteria that matter at claims time.

We set the IDV at the accurate current market depreciated value, not the lowest defensible figure to reduce premium. Under-valued IDV means under-compensation if your vehicle is written off or stolen.
We recommend add-ons based on your specific situation: zero depreciation for cars under five years old, engine protection for vehicles in flood-prone cities, return-to-invoice for new vehicles in the first year.
We verify that the insurer's cashless workshop network includes your preferred service centre and authorised dealer before recommending them, network quality varies significantly between insurers in specific cities.
Who Needs This

Who Carries This Risk

If your situation matches those described below, this cover belongs in your financial plan.

01
New Vehicle Owners
New vehicles should be insured with zero depreciation and return-to-invoice add-ons from day one to maximise protection in the first three years when depreciation-adjusted settlements are most disadvantageous.
02
Vehicles in Renewal
Mid-life vehicles benefit from correct IDV setting, engine protection cover and a fresh comparison of cashless networks across insurers, most renewals are placed with the incumbent by default.
03
Two-Wheeler Owners
Two-wheelers carry disproportionately high accident frequency relative to cars. Comprehensive two-wheeler insurance with personal accident cover for the rider is essential, not discretionary.
04
Urban Residents in Flood-Risk Cities
Residents of Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad and other monsoon-vulnerable cities should specifically add engine protection cover, hydrostatic lock damage from attempting to start a flooded vehicle is otherwise excluded.
05
High-Value Vehicle Owners
Owners of premium and luxury vehicles benefit from agreed value policies or manufacturer-authorised cashless service centre arrangements that standard policies do not provide.
06
Multi-Vehicle Households
Families with more than one vehicle can often obtain multi-vehicle discounts when all vehicles are placed with a single insurer, a saving that most policyholders do not explore.
How We Work

From Brief to Bound Cover

Three steps from your first conversation to a policy that is correctly structured and priced.

01
IDV & Add-on Review
We determine the correct IDV for your vehicle and recommend the add-ons that are specifically relevant to your vehicle age, city and driving pattern, avoiding the premium padding that comes with generic recommendations.
02
Insurer Comparison
We compare motor insurers on cashless network strength in your city, claim settlement ratio and add-on pricing, and recommend the insurer whose overall proposition suits your specific situation.
03
Renewal Management & Claims Support
We proactively manage your renewal, including re-tendering where the incumbent insurer's terms have drifted above market. When a claim occurs, we provide end-to-end support through to settlement.
Key Benefits

Why Clients Place This Cover Through Us

Accurate IDV Setting
We set the IDV at the correct market depreciated value, not a rounded figure chosen to reduce premium. The IDV is what you receive if your vehicle is stolen or written off; accuracy here is non-negotiable.
Targeted Add-on Selection
We recommend only the add-ons that deliver genuine value for your specific vehicle and risk profile. Zero depreciation, engine protection and return-to-invoice each have a specific use case, we match the add-on to your situation.
Cashless Network Verification
We verify the insurer's cashless workshop network in your city before recommending them, not after you have purchased the policy and discovered your preferred garage is not included.
No-Claim Bonus Protection
We advise on the threshold below which raising a claim costs more in lost NCB than it recovers in repair reimbursement, protecting your discount accumulation for when it genuinely matters.
FAQ

Common Questions

Yes. Section 146 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 makes third-party insurance compulsory for all motor vehicles used in a public place. Comprehensive (own damage plus third-party) insurance is not legally required but is strongly recommended for any vehicle with significant residual value. Vehicles under hire-purchase agreements are typically required by the financier to carry comprehensive cover.
Zero depreciation cover waives the standard age-based depreciation applied to replaced parts during a claim. Without it, plastic and rubber parts can attract up to 50% depreciation deduction on vehicles more than five years old, meaning the insurer pays only half the cost of replacing them. It is most valuable for vehicles under five years old and for owners who prefer authorised service centres where part replacement is the norm.
The Insured Declared Value is the manufacturer's listed selling price minus a depreciation percentage based on the vehicle's age. The IRDAI depreciation schedule sets the percentages. The IDV is the maximum amount payable for a total loss or theft claim, and should be set accurately, not artificially reduced to lower the premium.
The no-claim bonus is a discount on the own damage premium, accumulating at up to 50% after five consecutive claim-free years. It belongs to the policyholder, not the insurer, and can be transferred to a new insurer at renewal with an NCB retention letter from your existing insurer. We manage this transfer process as part of our renewal service.
Flood damage to the vehicle body and interiors is covered under the natural calamity section of the own damage cover. However, engine damage specifically caused by attempting to start a vehicle in a flooded state, hydrostatic lock, is excluded from the standard policy. This exposure is addressed by the engine protection add-on, which we recommend as standard for vehicles in flood-risk cities.

Motor insurance placed for claims performance, not for premium.

The cheapest renewal and the right renewal are rarely the same thing. Speak to us before you auto-renew.
