Insured Declared Value (IDV): Represents the market value of the vehicle. Higher IDV means higher premiums.
Voluntary Deductible: Opting for a higher deductible reduces your premium. It’s the amount you pay out of pocket before the insurance covers the rest.
Installing Recognized Anti-theft Devices: Installing anti-theft devices in your vehicle can fetch you discounts from the insurance company, as these devices enhance the security of your vehicle and prevent theft.
Safe Driving Records: Maintaining a safe driving record can result in lower premiums, as it demonstrates lower risk to insurers.
Usage-Based Insurance: Premiums can be based on how much and how well you drive. This can lead to savings for infrequent or cautious drivers.

Super Top Up Health Insurance

Super-Top Up Health Insurance plans provide extensive coverage beyond your existing health insurance policy, offering added financial protection for major medical expenses. These plans activate once your medical bills surpass a specified deductible amount, ensuring you are covered for high medical costs. Whether you are looking to enhance your health coverage without significantly increasing your premiums, or seeking additional protection for your family, super-top up insurance offers a flexible and cost-effective solution.

Key benefits of Super-Top Up Insurance

Difference Between Super-Top Up and Top-Up Insurance

Top-Up Insurance provides additional coverage once a single claim exceeds the deductible limit. It only applies to individual claims and does not aggregate multiple claims to meet the deductible. For example, if you have a deductible of ₹50,000, and a single claim of ₹60,000, the top-up insurance will cover the excess ₹10,000. However, if you have multiple smaller claims, each less than ₹50,000, the top-up insurance will not activate.

In contrast, Super-Top Up Insurance aggregates multiple claims within a policy year to meet the deductible limit. Once the combined claim amount exceeds the deductible, the super-top up coverage kicks in. For instance, with a deductible of ₹50,000, if you have three claims of ₹20,000 each, the super-top up insurance will start covering the expenses after the combined claims cross the ₹50,000 threshold.
