TATA AIG car insurance is pretty awesome policy. So I have taken my car insurance from this company because they are providing me a bumper to bumper offer, comprehensive policy even if the car is 7 years old and this is the only company who provides this facility. To apply the claim is very easy in a single call. They have provided me 100% claim.
