Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, as per Indian Motor Vehicles Act, every commercial vehicle must have at least third-party liability insurance. It is illegal to drive a business-use vehicle without valid insurance. In addition, most fleet owners opt for comprehensive coverage to safeguard their assets.

All vehicles used for business purposes can be insured under commercial plans. These include goods carriers, passenger-carrying vehicles, school vans, taxis, auto-rickshaws, and construction vehicles. Each policy is tailored based on the vehicle’s purpose, load capacity, and usage.

Yes, fleet insurance is available for businesses with multiple vehicles. This allows you to manage all policies under one umbrella, often at discounted premiums. It’s ideal for logistics firms, transporters, or companies managing delivery vans and trucks.

Common exclusions include damage when driving without a valid license, under the influence of alcohol, regular wear and tear, mechanical breakdowns, or using the vehicle outside its permitted area of operation. Always read the policy document carefully to understand full exclusions.

The premium depends on several factors including vehicle type, age, city of registration, engine capacity, insured declared value (IDV), and the nature of use (goods or passengers). Add-ons, previous claim history, and voluntary deductibles also influence the final premium.

Popular add-ons include engine and gearbox protection, zero depreciation, roadside assistance, towing charges, and accessories cover. Depending on the vehicle and usage, these add-ons can provide significant value and enhance claim benefits during damage.

Yes, the insurance policy can be transferred to the new owner. This requires a formal application, proof of sale, and ownership transfer documentation. The insurer will update the records, and the remaining policy term will be valid under the new owner’s name.

Claim settlement timelines vary by insurer but usually take between 7 to 15 working days after all documents are submitted and the survey is complete. Upsure’s team helps expedite the process by coordinating directly with the insurance company on your behalf.
