FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What are voluntary deductibles?

A voluntary deductible is a minimum amount that you choose to pay from the claim amount. The policyholder is required to pay the amount before the insurer contributes to the rest of the claim value. Aside from the voluntary deductible, the policyholder also contributes to a mandatory deductible, which provides more coverage in the event of a claim.

For example, if your repair costs Rs. 2000 and you choose a voluntary deductible of Rs. 1000, this is paid in advance as an investment in your car's repairs. The insurer will cover the remaining claim amount up to the limits specified in the insurance policy.

Q2. Is a cashless system or a reimbursement system preferable?

This is totally subjective. In terms of speed, openness, and convenience, cashless claims have significant advantages. While reimbursement claims give you the freedom to choose your preferred repair workshop. Both systems have significant advantages, it is up to the policyholder to choose the one that is most suitable for the situation.

Q3. What are cashless garages, and how do they work?

Cashless garages, also known as network garages, are garages that have reached an agreement with the insurer for the repair of a car covered by their insurance. For the damages to the insured's bike, these garages offer free repair and replacement services, by coordinating claim details directly with the insurer.

Q4. Will I be able to file a Raheja QBE vehicle claim if I don’t go to a Raheja QBE network garage?

Yes. Notify the insurer immediately after the accident, and take your vehicle to the garage of your choice. You can file a reimbursement claim and submit all the repair bills to the insurer.  The insurer will settle the claim amount after verification.
