What is a Cashless Garage?

Cashless garages are vehicle repair facilities where you can avail of services without making upfront payments. Instead, Shriram General Insurance directly settles the repair bill for the garage, reducing your financial burden and allowing you to experience seamless transactions.

Repair centres that have teamed up with Shriram General Insurance to speed up the claims settlement process are known as network garages or cashless garages. You can decide to have repairs made at a cashless garage within the Shriram General Insurance’s network garages when your insured vehicle is involved in an accident or damage.

How Do Cashless Garages Work?
