Follow these simple steps to renew your car insurance online

You can renew your car insurance policy online within a few minutes, whether from home or when stuck in traffic or even when holidaying abroad.

As a car owner, you know that there are several things you need to do to keep your car in pristine condition. Not only must it be serviced regularly and used carefully, it must also be protected from damages and other mishaps. Driving carefully and never speeding or cutting across other cars and jaywalkers, are just some solutions to the issue. The real question is: Is your car protected by car insurance? 

And if it is, have you looked at your insurance policy lately?

Your needs as a car owner with insurance can change as the car ages. You might need more coverage or wish to add more benefits in the policy clauses. It is worthwhile to consider taking a policy that offers valuable add-ons at nominal rates, and also settles claims in just seven days from date of filing. 

The next step after taking the policy is to renew car insurance online. Renewing your policy online is the fastest way to get the job done: in just a few steps, and at your convenience, you can renew car insurance online. Leading insurance companies in India have transferred the gamut of their services online for customers’ increased convenience. While eliminating paperwork, this has brought customers in direct contact with their insurers.

You can renew your car insurance online in just a few easy steps, thus:

• Find the insurance renewal date and set a reminder. Your insurer will also inform you by email or SMS.
• Access the insurer’s web portal and look for the section titled ‘Car insurance’
• At the top of the page on the right hand side, you will find the fields ‘Buy’, ‘Renew’, ‘Report a claim’ and ‘Login’. Enter the field marked ‘Renew’.
• You will be prompted to enter your car policy number in the space provided.
• Check if the insurer has presented a correct snapshot of renewal premium and other details of your policy. If correct, proceed to pay online.
• Accept payment acknowledgement and await the receipt.

Renewing car insurance online is not just simple and convenient, it is better handled by the policy holder themselves. Entrusting the job to a broker ends in an additional expense to the customer (the insurer must pay processing charges to the broker, and this fee is passed on to the customer) and there is a chance of the broker filling out incorrect information. Besides, insurance companies can be requested for a call back in case the customer is confused about any aspect of renewal.
