Renewal of your Swift car insurance is very important and you need to ensure it is done well before the due date. If you are looking for a trouble-free experience to renew your Swift car insurance, you can get it done through PolicyX.com. This is how it works:
1. I left the lights of my Swift car on and now the battery is dead. Can I get roadside assistance for battery jumpstart?
Yes, you can get assistance for jump-starting of a car battery provided you have taken the 24x7 road assistance add-on for your policy. The basic policy does not include this but with the add-on, you can get this service.
2. My Swift car was involved in an accident with another scooter, which was completely damaged. Can I make a claim for compensation to the scooter owner?
Yes, you can. Any damage to the third party’s vehicle is included in the policy and you can compensate the scooter owner for damages caused. Any injuries to the scooter driver can also be covered.
3. I heard that I can get a discount on my Swift insurance policy if there are security devices installed, is this true?
Yes, when you install security devices, you are reducing risk and the insurer would offer you an additional discount on the premium. However, this is valid only if the device you install is approved by ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India).
4. I forgot to renew my Swift car insurance, what are the possible consequences of this?
If your car insurance policy has lapsed, it means your car is not covered by insurance. In case of any accident, you are liable to pay all the damages yourself. You are also exposed to legal liability in case of accident to a third party. It is an offence under the Motor Vehicles Act to drive without insurance and you can face legal action. Failure to renew insurance on time can even lead to a higher premium when you do it late. It is advisable to renew insurance on time always.
