Furthermore, by pooling our resources and working together, both our organisations will be able to create exceptional value for our stakeholders. We look forward to working together and making insurance more convenient and accessible than ever before.”

The policies offered will provide comprehensive cover for vehicles, along with a number of special benefits, including a free personal accident cover worth Rs. 5 million, in addition to the standard benefits, such as free flood and natural perils covers, and free leasing/hire purchase agreements, air bag covers and free taxi reimbursements. Other benefits include cover for emergency medical expenses, windscreens, baby-on-board protection, goods cover, leasing rental and accommodation reimbursements in the event of an accident, and more. 

For accident repairs, customers will enjoy special privileges at both partner garages and non-partner garages, including, pick and drop services and “click and go” repairs and repair warranties at partner garages, combined with zero owners account deductions, and free towing at non-partner garages. Non-motor policyholders too will enjoy a range of exclusive benefits.
