India’s young car owners are not just buying insurance; they’re redefining how it fits into their lives. In 2026, Gen Z and millennial buyers are driving a clear shift toward digital-first, transparent, and highly personalised motor insurance, moving away from traditional, one-size-fits-all policies.This evolution is being shaped by a generation that values speed, clarity, and control. From researching policies online to choosing coverage based on lifestyle needs, young drivers are approaching insurance as an informed financial decision rather than a routine purchase.

“Today’s young customers expect insurance to be simple, transparent, and aligned with how they actually use their vehicles,” said Shubham Moondra, Chief Product Officer at Royal Sundaram. “The focus is on offering flexibility and clarity at every step of the journey.”
