Every Indian who owns a four-wheeler should have a private car package policy. A package or comprehensive plan provides coverage over and above the required third-party liability mandated by law. A private car package policy means your insurance cover extends to damages to your vehicle. These policies often come with a higher premium than third-party-only plans and allow you to customise your policy with various add-ons. Now, Edelweiss helps you save on your premium based on how much you actually drive your car.
Understanding Edelweiss PAYD
The Edelweiss SWITCH Pay As You Drive (PAYD) add-on enables you to save on your annual comprehensive cover premium. The add-on recalculates your premium based on your average kilometre usage. For example, say you have a five-year-old vehicle that has completed 60,000 kilometres. We assume that you travel 12,000 kilometres every year. We offer a new customised premium based on our calculation and your declared annual usage. The new amount will include all the coverage that is part of your package policy for private vehicle. Your sum insured and add-ons will remain the same as your base car insurance plan.
What Happens If Usage Exceeds the Calculated Amount?
Your PAYD policy only provides coverage for a limited number of kilometres. If we continue using the above example, your coverage will end when you reach 12,000 kilometres from the start of the policy. If you think you may exceed the kilometre amount, don't worry. You can notify us in advance and top up your kilometres by paying an additional premium. You can then continue to enjoy the protection offered by your insurance policy without any breaks in coverage.
Benefits of PAYD
The most crucial benefit of a PAYD policy is that it allows you to pay as per your annual usage. The plan offers savings on your premium based on how many kilometres you drive in a year.
