4. The Insured Value of The Car

The insured value of your car means the current price of the car in the market. When the insurance person comes to evaluate the car, he will check the market price of the car. Based on that price, he will compute the value of the premium. The market price also reduces with time. Moreover, the depreciation cost is also reduced from this market value, making it even lesser.

Hence, if you are in India and do not claim insurance annually, then you will get a discount on your premium amount.

Conclusion

All the factors given above play a crucial role in determining the premium of the insurance. Higher the premium, the better coverage you will get. But some companies offer equal coverage with less premiums too. Once you know about these factors, you can use them to determine the premium cost on your own, and decide which insurance is most suitable for you.
