Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 18: Zurich Kotak General Insurance, provides insight on why car owners should go for a depreciation cover in car insurance. Many car owners focus on the basic coverage options when it comes to car insurance, such as third-party liability and own damage insurance. However, there’s another important aspect to consider – depreciation cover. This add-on cover feature can provide significant financial benefits in the event of a claim. Let’s explore the importance of depreciation cover in car insurance and why you should consider adding it to your policy.
What is depreciation cover?
Depreciation cover, also known as zero depreciation cover, is an add-on cover that can be purchased along with your comprehensive car insurance policy. The cost of depreciation is deducted from the cost of repairing or replacing the parts at the time of claim settlement. However, with this add-cover, you can enjoy a higher claim payout without considering the depreciation factor for replacing damaged car parts with new ones.
How does depreciation affect your car insurance claim?
When you file a claim for damages to your car in an accident, the insurer will typically consider the depreciation factor while calculating the claim amount. However, with depreciation cover, insurer will cover the entire cost of replacing damaged parts with new ones, regardless of their depreciation value.

There are several reasons why you should prefer adding a depreciation cover along with your car insurance:
* Maximise your claim amount: With a depreciation cover, you’ll get the maximum benefit from your car insurance policy.
* Enhance your financial security: A depreciation cover can provide an added layer of financial security, protecting you from unexpected expenses in the event of a claim.
* Increase your car’s resale value: By maintaining your car’s value through a depreciation cover, you can potentially increase its resale value in the future.
