Two-Wheeler Insurance Cashless Garage

What is a Network Garage?

A network garage is a bike service center that has a tie-up with your respective insurance provider. When you take your damaged bike to a network garage, you can enjoy cashless repair service. In this garage, you don't have to pay the garage upfront for repairs. Instead, your insurer directly settles the bill with the garage according to the policy terms.

What is Cashless Claim Service?

The cashless claim or cashless garage in bike insurance is a service benefit provided by the insurer to the insured for getting the bike repaired in one of the network garages. Under this service, the insurer pays off the liability of repairing the two-wheeler after an accident.

It requires lesser formalities to go through to raise a claim. The insurer sends the surveyor as soon as possible to the location or the garage to check the extent of damage according to which the insurer will settle the claim. The insurance companies tip-ups with two-wheeler garages that provide cashless services to you.

How it Works?

• After an accident, the insurer sends a surveyor to assess the damage.
• Based on the surveyor's evaluation, the insurance company ask you to send the bike to the nearest network garage for repairs.
• Once the repairs are done, the insurer settles the repair bill directly with the network garage. You only pay deductibles or costs beyond the Insured Declared Value (IDV) (if applicable).
• This system cuts down paperwork and waiting time, helping you get back on the road faster.
