Vehicle Insurance Claim Services

There are mainly three types of vehicle claims: Accident claims, Theft claims and Third party claims.

Cashless Claim
In case of damage to the vehicle

• Take the vehicle to the Cashless garage for repairs as far as possible. They will register the claim.
• Surveyor deputed by the insurance company will inspect the vehicle at the garage. The garage will give estimate of repairs to the surveyor. The claim form duly completed with Driving Licence, R.C. book, policy copy and any other documents called for by the surveyor will have to be shown to him. If the insured has to bear any amount which is not admissible, the same will have to be paid by him to the workshop. The surveyor will give approval after assessment. The garage will start the repair of the vehicle.
• After completion of repair vehicle will be handed over to the insured.

Reimbursement Claim
If the vehicle is to be repaired in a garage outside the purview of the network, then you can claim reimbursement for the same. Here the claim is to be intimated to the insurance company in writing or through toll free number.
