Let's get started! 🚀
✴️ Floater Motor Insurance Plan launched by ICICI Lombard ☂️
✴️ Royal Sundaram and City Union Bank enter into a bancassurance tie-up 🤝
✴️ City Union Bank and Aditya Birla Health Insurance announce a bancassurance partnership 🏦
- ICICI Lombard has introduced a floater motor insurance policy to help customers in insuring numerous vehicles under a single policy.
- With a single renewal date and an all-inclusive plan, this policy will allow customers to insure all of their vehicles under a single cover.
- The benefits of the product include -
- Customers who opt for this product will have to pay a lower premium.
- The entire benefits of the No Claim Bonus for each car will be preserved when a customer switches from separate policies to a floater plan.
- If there are no claims under the floater plan, customers will get a No Claim Bonus discount at the time of the subsequent renewal, as per the appropriate slab.
- Customers will have the option of adding telematics add-ons to their comprehensive policy and the premium charged will partially depend on the usage of the vehicle.
- Customers will be able to opt for different plans under telematics add-ons like:
- Pay-As-You-Drive:
- Under this, customers will have the option to select from a variety of "Kilometres" depending on their usage.
- The premium will be determined based on the usage of the vehicle.
- If the initially chosen kilometres get exhausted, customers can top up the kilometers during the policy duration.
- Coverage under this add-on will be only valid if the kilometres are partially or completely utilised at the time of accident loss.
- Pay-How-You-Use:
- Under this, the premium will be charged based on the driving behaviour score.
- With good driving behavior, customers can attract discounts on the base premium of the policy. They, however, may be disincentivised for bad driving behavior as well.
- Pay-As-You-Drive:
- ICCI Lombard said that the add-ons will be effective for the same period as the Motor Own Damage under the relevant section of the policy unless and until stated otherwise.
