Real Indian Example

A Brezza owner client was quoted ₹11,000 by the Maruti dealer for comprehensive + zero-dep. We found the same coverage from HDFC ERGO for ₹8,200 (online, no dealer commission). He saved ₹2,800/year — ₹8,400 over 3 years. Brezza owners: NEVER accept dealer insurance without comparing. It's your legal right to buy from anyone.
