Transferring car insurance premiums

Car insurance premiums have to be paid for both new and old cars. For a new car, car insurance premium depends on the showroom price fixed on the car but if you purchase a second hand car, car insurance premium is calculated on the basis of Insured Declared Value (IDV). IDV is the amortized value of the car by the insurer and the policyholder. The IDV of the car reduces as the age of the car increases.
When you sell your old car and purchase a new one, you can get your car insurance transferred. It is very important that you compare the car insurance premiums before transferring the insurance.
Transfer of car insurance premium needs a lot of documentation to be done. Hence, it becomes essential to keep all your documents safe and handy.


Summary: You have the option of getting your car insurance premium transferred if you plan to buy a new car when you have an existing old car.
