Manmohan Sardesai (name changed) wanted to renew the car insurance for his Tata Nano LX 2009, registered in Mumbai.
Mr Sardesai is aware that his existing 35% no-claim-bonus (NCB) will become 45% when he renews the policy as no claims were lodged during the year. Mr Sardesai has been buying insurance from his car-dealer since he purchased his new Nano car in 2009. Once you are a customer with one insurance company, the policy renewal is done blindly with the same company, unless the policyholder overcomes his inertia and looks for a better deal. This time, Mr Sardesai was keen to find out if he could get better offers from other insurance companies.
