Customers can purchase an ICICI Lombard Car Insurance policy at any of the ICICI Lombard branches, or online on the website of the insurer.
A third-party car insurance policy is definitely cheaper, but its coverage is limited as well. A third-party insurance policy offers coverage for damages caused only to the vehicle of the third-party and with such a policy, following an accident, the policyholder will have to cover all expenses to repair his/her own vehicle. That said, a comprehensive car insurance policy offers complete coverage, for the policyholder and the third-party involved in the accident. In addition, it comes with an own damage cover following a natural calamity, if the car catches fire, or if the car is stolen.
The zero-depreciation cover is an add-on cover which policyholders can purchase over and above the premium of the base policy and basically negates the depreciation factor of the vehicle. With the zero-depreciation cover, the policyholder will receive the entire claim amount irrespective of the current market value of the car. However, insurers offer the zero-depreciation cover for cars up to 2-3 years old.
No, the road-side assistance is an add-on cover that policyholders have to buy in addition to the premium of the base policy and is not inclusive in the comprehensive car insurance policy. During the tenure of the policy, one can make use of the road-side assistance for a maximum of 4 times.
Following the mandate by the Supreme Court of India, all insurers have to now sell the long-term third-party insurance policy as a standalone policy. The mandate was rolled out by the Supreme Court to reduce the number of uninsured vehicles on the roads of India and to save policyholders going through the hassle of making yearly renewals.

The car insurance industry has witnessed tremendous benefits in recent years from the innovations made in artificial intelligence (AI) technology. One of India’s top general insurance companies ICICI Lombard has partnered with Microsoft to perform vehicle inspection with the help of an AI-enabled mobile application.
The new app called ‘Insure’ provides a range of functions for customers like buying a new cover, renewing existing policies, and making repair claims. Customers can simply upload the image of their damages to the app to file for a claim. By skipping the physical verification step, the claim process is made a lot quicker than the traditional method.
India is one of the largest markets in the world when it comes to car insurance. The traditional method of direct inspection did not prove enough to cater to this large population for making damage assessments and providing compensation. The AI technology has made the auto insurance process simple and quick.

General insurance company ICICI Lombard has launched a new platform for its artificial intelligence (AI) based claims investigation system. Last week, the company shifted to a new real-time, mobile-based platform to process all the claims made by the company’s policyholders. This system focuses on bringing down the time taken for cashless claims to just 60 to 90 seconds. This may also bring down the investigation time to a day or even just a few hours.
Without the use of AI, the turnaround time for claim processing is significantly higher. The process here involves a customer filing an intimation to the company about a claim. Once the claim is entered in the system, an investigator is assigned for the claim. If there are any faults in the claims, it could take many days for the investigator to complete the investigation. The claim request remains open all this time without any resolution to customers.
With the new platform, investigators could visit the customer or hospital directly and update the status of the claim in real-time. Once the findings are uploaded, the system processes the claim request and takes action accordingly. Overall, this system focuses on increasing speed and accuracy in claims processing.
