Meaning
Jump Tag Icon

A Cashless Garage or a Network Garage in the parlance of vehicle insurance means a vehicle repair shop that has a tie-up with the insurance company. Often, insurance companies have such tie-ups with garages across the country to offer ease and convenience to their customers. Cashless Garages do not charge repair fees from you (i.e. policyholder). The garage and the insurer settle the bill amongst themselves.

How do They Work?
Jump Tag Icon

As you are not required to pay cash (money) to the garage for the repairs, the garage is termed as a Cashless Garage and the claim is termed as a Cashless Claim. Note that this arrangement and claim settlement process is subject to the terms and conditions of the policy. You may be required to pay for deductibles, extra repairs, etc.

 

How Does Cashless Garages Work?
Jump Tag Icon

There are two ways of raising an insurance claim under the Comprehensive policy. You can either take the damaged car to a garage of your choice (which might not be a part of the insurer’s network) or you can get your car repaired at a garage that is a part of the insurer’s network.

Reimbursement Claims
Jump Tag Icon

When you take the car/bike to a garage of your choice or a non-network garage, you may have to first take your vehicle to a garage, follow-up for repairs, settle and pay bills, get your vehicle back home and then get your bills reimbursed from ACKO. In this case, ACKO will reimburse the bills after considering the deductibles as per the terms and conditions. Looks like a lot of time and effort here!

Cashless Claims

As the name goes by, Cashless Garages enable you to get your vehicle repaired without having to pay the bill. In this case, all you have to do is inform ACKO about the damage and ACKO will do the rest for you.

And between all this - you don’t have to pay anything except deductibles as per terms and conditions. Rest all, we shall settle the bill directly with the garage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cashless Garages
Jump Tag Icon

Here are some common questions regarding car/bike cashless garages.

Generic FAQs

Icon

Why is it necessary to inform the insurance company before getting the car repaired?

The insurance company needs to have a look at the vehicle before it is repaired to gauge the extent of the repairs it requires and to ascertain the damages covered as per the policy.

How can I come to know if a garage is part of the insurer’s network?

If you want to enquire about a garage, you can ask the insurer (in this case ACKO) about it via call or email. 

Along with the repairs, I also want other services of the garage. How does that work out in a Cashless Garage?

The Cashless Garage arrangement with ACKO is only related to the damages covered as per the policy. If you want to engage with the garage for other services, you must do it individually. ACKO will not pay for it.

Can I ask ACKO to tow the damaged car to a garage of my choice?

Yes, you can get into a discussion with ACKO regarding such an arrangement.

Can I repair my car and then inform ACKO?

No, you must inform us at the earliest to avoid rejection of the claim. And it should always be before getting the car repaired on your own.

I want the list of ACKO’s Cashless/Network Garage. What should I do?

With ACKO, you don’t have to worry about anything while getting your vehicle repaired. Depending on the damages, and the repair required, and to offer you quick and quality services, we take your car to the most convenient network garage and deliver it back to your doorstep. We offer cashless claims across a wide network of garages, hence it is difficult to share the list.

Claim Settlement Related FAQs

Icon

I want to take my car to a garage of my choice. Can I still enjoy the cashless claims facility? 

When you get your car repaired from our partner garages, you save a lot of time, effort, and money. However, if you still want to get your car repaired at a garage of your choice, we can still offer a cashless-like settlement at a non-network garage. We transfer our liability for any legitimate claim directly to the garage, even before the delivery of the car, within a few hours of invoice receipt. In this case, the policyholder needs to share non-network garage bank details for cashless-like settlement. However, in such cases, you will have to pay Rs. 5,000 extra as a deductible amount when you opt for ACKO’s exclusive insurance plans. 

What happens if I get my car repaired at a non-network garage?

During claims, if you get your car repaired at a non-partner garage, you will have to pay Rs. 5,000 as a deductible amount depending on the terms, conditions, and the type of plan that you have purchased.
