If you own a Maruti car then it is good. It is cashless claim if you get the damages done from Maruti authorized center.

Maruti insurance is absolutely fantastic. No Hassles at all. I claimed insurance twice from Maruti and entire process was so smooth that, customers believe that car went for minor repairs.

In other insurance company you have to pay entirely for the damages and then have to do merry go round to insurance companies for claiming amount and getting it back. Its pain.

I hope other car companies should also take such initiatives and provide cash less facilities to the customers.

Not really. Most insurance companies now offer the cashless facility. Of course, they have a list of workshops that are eligible for the cashless repair jobs.

My car insurance renewal is due on May. I wanted to know if experts felt it was advisable to switch from Cholamandalam to Maruti Insurance (Bajaj Alliance / Royal Sundaram)? My car is a 2007 Alto and I have had Cholamandalam since the beginning. Further, is RS better than BA or vice versa.

I have switched to Royal Sundaram Maruti Insurance thru a Maruti Dealer... and have even made claims for denting, painting and underbody damage. The cashless insurance part has been totally hassle free. Service thru the dealer has also been prompt. Would recommend it... though I don't know how it compares with other companies.

Go to direct insurance company that will reduce the premium they can give you higher discount.

Is there any benefits of going with Maruti insurance compared to Bajaj Alliance or Royal Sundaram? Maruti insurance provides premium through Bajaj alliance or Royal sundaram anyways. And premium is very high compared to BA or RS. For an SX4, I could see the difference is around 6K-7K.

Please provide your valuable suggestions.

Maruti Insurance provides it through National Insurance and not Bajaj Alliance/Royal Sundaram.

Are you sure that there is a 6K-7K difference for the same IDV ?

Yes were ever there is a tie-up you get a cashless benefit.

According to Maruti site, they have tie-ups with 4 insurance companies. Bajaj Allianz, Royal Sundaram, National and New India. Maruti dealers along with their service centers are free to choose among these four. Most usually go with 2 companies. All have cashless facility, with a Rs 500 charge for small vehicles and Rs 1000 charge for larger cars, in case of claim.

eg: Popular Automobiles uses Bajaj and National, while Hercules Automobiles uses Royal Sundaram and National (I think).

In case of claim, for easiest processing, Bajaj reccomends going to Popular's service center.
Since I prefer Hercules, I went with their preferred insurance agecy, Royal Sundaram, even though Bajaj had better deal.
Usually a painless process, if you have some idea of how things work with them.

Ok someone help me here. I got a quote of 6100 from TATA AIG (with 2500 Rs of voluntary amount) and a quote of 7600 from my Maruti Dealer (ICICI Lombard tied up with Maruti)

I am not sure which one to choose.

The car is just a year old (Alto LXi)

You still deserve a good quote. Go to bajaj. Voluntary Excess is a bad thing try to stay away from it. Otherwise TATA is a preferred company then ICICI and Reliance.

Are both the premiums for same IDV?
