Sum Insured
At Magma HDI, we insure all vehicles at a fixed value, known as Insured’s Declared Value (IDV). IDV is calculated on the basis of your vehicle manufacturer’s listed selling price (plus the listed price of any accessories) after deducting the depreciation for every year as per the following rates.
| Age of the Vehicle | % of Depreciation |
|---|
| Not exceeding 6 months | 5% |
| Exceeding 6 months but not exceeding 1 year | 15% |
| Exceeding 1 year but not exceeding 2 years | 20% |
| Exceeding 2 years but not exceeding 3 years | 30% |
| Exceeding 3 years but not exceeding 4 years | 40% |
| Exceeding 4 years but not exceeding 5 years | 50% |
However, if the price of any accessory in your vehicle is not included in the manufacturer’s listed selling price, then the actual value (after depreciation) of it can be added to the ‘sum insured’ over and above the IDV.
