What is a cashless car insurance plan?

Car insurance is an indispensable part of owning a car. A car owner must have a four-wheeler insurance to drive the vehicle on roads. The car insurance plans also offer financial security to the policyholder as they take care of the car repairs and claim settlement. In the event of an accident, the policyholder needs to contact the car insurance provider wherein they shall send a surveyor at the accident spot to assess the damage. Once the damage is accessed by the surveyor the car is taken to the network cashless network garage for repairs wherein an approximate expense bill amount is notified to the insurance provider. The insurer covers the expenses as per the terms and conditions of the car insurance plans. The remaining balance, if any, has to be borne by the policyholder.

Car insurance plans are diverse as they offer comprehensive car insurance coverage and customer-centric services. A cashless network garage is a notable offering that streamlines repairs and claims for policyholders.
