Types of Oriental Car Insurance Claims

There are two types of claims:

  • 01

    Cashless Claim

    If you take your car to a garage in Oriental’s approved network, the insurance company pays the repair cost directly. You don’t have to pay anything.

  • 02

    Reimbursement Claim

    If you take your car to a garage outside the approved network, you pay for the repairs first. Later, the insurance company will give you the money back.

How to Make a Cashless Car Insurance Claim with Oriental General Insurance?

 

  • Inform the Company

    Call Oriental General Insurance at 1800-118-485 right after the accident. You can also email photos of the damaged car to your branch (the email ID is in your policy document).

  • Car Inspection

    A company surveyor will visit to check the damage to your car. This step is necessary before repairs can start.

  • Towing the Car

    After the inspection, take your car to the nearest Oriental-approved garage. You can also ask the company to arrange towing for you.

  • Repair Work

    Your car will be repaired at the cashless garage. The company will directly pay the repair bill to the garage once all paperwork is done.

  • Pay Deductibles

    You only need to pay the small deductible amount (mandatory or voluntary, if chosen). After that, you can take your repaired car home.
