Chola Comprehensive car insurance, as the name suggests, offers overall cover for damages to both parties involved in an accident. This is an extensive policy because it covers damages to the car, theft of the car, legal liability towards third-party, and personal accident cover. The policy coverage can also be extended by opting for add-ons like Monthly Instalment Cover, Coverage for Roadside assistance in case of breakdowns, Waiver of Depreciation, Personal Belongings (inside the vehicle), etc. This cover is preferred due to its end-to-end coverage, which provides convenience and security for the policyholder.

Zero Depreciation Cover:

Zero depreciation, also known as Nil depreciation or Bumper-to-Bumper car insurance, leaves out the depreciation factor from the coverage, thus giving complete cover. It offers 100% coverage for all fiber, rubber, and metal parts without the deduction of depreciation. It does not cover engine damage due to water ingress or oil leakage. 

Engine Protection:

Car engines are one of the most expensive and maintenance-intensive parts of a car. They can be susceptible to damage in conditions of waterlogging or due to constant overheating. Under such undesirable circumstances, the Engine Protector Add-on Cover can be very beneficial. It covers the complete replacement or repair of critical engine parts such as pistons, crankshafts, and cylinder heads.

Roadside Assistance:

If the insured person gets stranded in the middle of the road due to any reason, such as a mechanical or electrical breakdown, this add-on cover kicks in and protects him/her from bearing the cost of such sudden expenses. The roadside assistance add-on is also known as the breakdown assistance cover. This cover also includes towing service, fuel delivery, alternative vehicle, staying at a hotel, medical coordination, etc. 

Return to Invoice Cover:

With this add-on cover, the policyholder can bridge the gap between the IDV and the invoice price. Return To Invoice Cover is also known as Invoice Protection Cover, and it helps the policyholder to receive a claim amount equivalent to the cost of the car mentioned in its invoice. With this car insurance add-on cover clubbed with a comprehensive or standalone own-damage car insurance plan, the policyholder can receive an amount equivalent to the on-road price of the car in the case of total loss.
