Do you know you don’t have to pay premiums for the time your car is resting in the garage?Pay-As-You-Drive insurance is a perfect solution for low-mileage and occasional car drivers. It allows you to only pay for the kilometres you drive, making it an affordable insurance option.With Reliance Limit Sure Pay-as-you-drive insurance, you receive personalised insurance. The premium is based on your driving frequency and the total kilometres covered by your vehicle.
Whether you are an occasional driver or public transport user, Reliance Pay-As-You-Drive insurance gives you complete control over your premium.Purchase Reliance Limit Sure car insurance add-on to enjoy:
Pay As You Drive auto insurance is a unique add-on for car insurance based on kilometres driven. It helps you save on premiums by paying only for the number of kilometres you opt to drive. It is a Usage Based Car Insurance add-on cover that adapts to your driving habits.In simple terms, you pay comparatively lower premiums with the Pay As You Drive car insurance add-on. It allows you to declare the kilometres you will cover in a year and pay a premium only for those kilometres.
Let's understand the Pay As You Drive insurance meaning with an example.
Example: Suppose you usually drive an average of 2,500 km a year.
Pay-as-you-drive allows you to pay only for the 2,500 km your car drives. This will cost significantly less than a standard car insurance plan.
If you end up driving more than 2,500 km, you can buy a top-up to continue your car insurance coverage. Similarly, if you drive less than 2,500 km, then whatever unused kilometres remain can be carried forward to the next policy year.
Here’s a more detailed look into how this all works:
When you buy Reliance Limit Sure - Pay As You Drive, you are required to select an estimated distance that you will drive in a policy year.This estimated distance is called "Available Kilometres" or "Kilometre Limit" and can be set in different slabs starting from 2,500 km. It can be increased further in multiples of 1,000.Based on your chosen Kilometre Limit, you get a discount on your Own Damage policy. Keep in mind, the lower your Kilometre Limit, the more discount you will get.Also, you must declare your current odometer reading when buying and renewing the policy. This will help determine whether you have stayed within the Kilometre Limit or exceeded it.For example, if your odometer reading at the time of buying the policy is 2,000 km, and you opted for a Kilometre Limit of 2,500 km, at the end of your policy, the reading will show 4,500 km or lower.
Running out of your Available Kilometres or Kilometre Limit means you lose the protection of your car insurance policy. In this case, you can buy extra kilometres with our "Top Up Limit" feature to ensure you are covered for the rest of the policy period.If you have any unused kilometres, you can carry them over to the next policy year using the "Carry Forward Limit" option.We also offer Grace Kilometres* up to 125 km to give you enough time to renew your policy before your limit is exhausted.For example, suppose you have selected a Kilometre Limit of 3,500 km under the Reliance Limit Sure—Pay As You Drive add-on cover. But within a few months, your limit is over.At this point, you can contact us and request a top-up limit to extend your coverage for the current policy year.
Our Pay As You Drive add-on allows you to select the distance you will cover in a given policy year. It starts at 2,500 km and can be increased in multiples of 1,000. You only pay for the kilometres opted for.
Since you are paying only for the distance you drive, the lower your kilometres, the lower your premium will be. So, if you drive less, you pay less.
You won’t lose anything if you do not use up your Kilometre Limit. Any unused kilometres can be carried forward to the next policy year at the time of renewal.
If you run out of the Available Kilometres within a policy year, you can easily purchase a top-up to replenish your exhausted limit. This way, you are never out of pay as drive car insurance coverage.

If you are inclined to use public transport more than your car, then getting your car insured with Pay As You Drive is an excellent option. It will help you save a lot of money.

Once your claim is registered, gather and submit all the documents, including your claims form, policy papers, FIR report, vehicle RC and others specific to the case.
Upon receiving the claims documents, we will send our surveyor for vehicle inspection. This is done to verify the claim and check the extent of damage.

Take your car to one of our network garages to get it repaired. We will settle your bill directly with the garage. You only have to pay selected deductibles/copayment amounts (if any).
Take your car to any authorised auto repair facility to get the repair work done. Pay the repair bills and collect the repair invoices. Now, submit the original invoices and other documents to our claims department for a timely reimbursement.
Drive your vehicle less if you don’t want to exhaust your Available Kilometres. A smart idea is to avoid unnecessary trips and use public transport for daily commutes.

Don’t forget to utilise the available discounts when buying/renewing your PAYD car insurance plan. This will significantly reduce your payable premiums.
