HI Guys my car insurance expired on 18 May and I got a dent on 21 May.

I was suppose to be renewing it on today ( Monday).

What options do I have ? anyway to avoid losses ? 

what is the best way to deal in this case? Go to official Kia service centre or try to fix it in local shop.

Not sure if Kia will charge a bomb .

Also i have to get the new insurance  , please suggest .

For break in renewals they will ask for video survey. If you can manage to pass that then you can raise claim after 1 month.

Btw, why did you let your insurance to get expired! You are supposed to renew it before it gets expired!

After 18th 12:00 AM, the insurance company is not liable for anything. Your next insurance will now be a fresh new insurance. You will loose your NCB. 

Its better to get quotes from Kia and local shops and compare. If not much of a difference get it done at Kia.

Does non-life/general insurance not follow the 30 days grace period after any policy expiry?

During the grace period, the policy continues to be active; however, you are not covered against damages to the car or third-party liabilities. While you cannot raise claims, you continue to enjoy the benefits of NCB during the grace period.

If dent is not of a large magnitude, it is always better to get it done outside insurance, otherwise the amount you lose due the cancellation of no-claim bonus may be higher then your denting painting costs

@ontherocks That means no new policy no. will be generated & ncb will continue to be there on renewal during grace period.

You have grace period if you renew from the same insurer.  Do that asap.
