- What in case the seller do want to keep his insurance?
- What if the Insurance is not part of the deal? In most cases, buying new insurance for the old car may still be cheaper.
- If you are buying a new insurance policy - you can buy it for next 12 months. But if you are transferring it will be for balance days/months of the transfered policy.
- If you are member of Automobile Association of India (AAI) - this gives you a discount on the premium rates.T he discount could be lower of 5% or 200 on the own damage premium for private cars.

You can buy insurance for same registation number from different insurers. What is the issue?
