Pricing basics (why you might see differences)
Premiums for third-party insurance in India are regulated and can vary by:
- Engine capacity (cc) or kW for EVs
- Private vs commercial usage
- Location/RTO and tenure (1-year vs long-term options for new vehicles)
Tip: If your car is older and you mainly need legal cover, third-party is the most economical. For newer cars, pair third-party with OD cover to protect your own damages.
Add these smart extras (optional)
While the third-party plan itself is minimal, you can layer protection:
- Personal Accident (PA) Cover for Owner-Driver (mandatory if not covered elsewhere)
- Stand-Alone OD cover for own-damage risks
- Add-ons with OD/Comprehensive: zero-dep, consumables, engine secure, RSA, key replacement, and more.
Claims—how it works for third-party
- In an accident: Ensure safety first. Inform police (FIR where required).
- Notify Acko: Share incident details via app/helpline and keep copies of RC, DL, policy, and FIR (if applicable).
- Assessment & settlement: Third-party claims are processed per Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) / legal process. Acko coordinates per policy terms.
Own-damage claims aren’t part of a third-party-only policy.
