Buying a new car is an exhilarating experience. It is always a treat to choose a color, compare features, and test drives.


After christening your new ride, what are the essential things you must do?

  1. Paperwork
    Make sure that your new car has all the necessary documents. Your auto dealer will provide this paperwork with you. This includes the registration details, insurance certificate, original payment receipt, tax, receipt, and delivery challan. Also, you should obtain the original documents regarding any financial installments or loan.

  2. Registration
    It is one of the vital documents that your new car should have. You cannot drive your new car without having its registration certificate. Your auto dealer can give you obtain a temporary registration that you can use for about one month in your registered city. After that, you should get permanent registration. 

  3. Breakdown Service
    Another important thing you need for your new care is a breakdown service. Facing a fault or a minor problem with your new vehicle is not impossible. If you have no contact with a breakdown service company, such problems could be a major inconvenience. 

    You can buy this kind of service at an affordable price, saving you lots of headaches for an entire year. For example, you get a flat tire in the middle of nowhere at night, you may use a neon sign to divert other motorists.

  4. Pollution Certificate
    If you want to avoid being penalized by traffic law enforcement due to non-adherence to the rules and regulations related to driving, you should have a pollution control certification. At the start, you will get this certificate from your car dealer, as the vehicle is brand new. But, after taking the car on the road, you need to renew this certificate on your own at the local petrol station every six months.

  5. Insurance
    To protect your new car against loss or damage, you must have
    comprehensive car insurance. Make sure you know what you are paying for in terms of benefits, premiums, and riders. Before you sign the document, read and understand the fine print. You dealer may explain the details of your auto insurance policy, as well as the terms and conditions.
