New Delhi, 09th Aug, 2024: ICICI Lombard, a leading private general insurance company in India, today announced the launch of its industry-first innovative “Smart Saver Plus” add-on for motor insurance policies.

With this unique cover ICICI Lombard is moving from claims service to claims guarantee.

This assurance provides customers with peace of mind, knowing that their vehicle is in capable hands and that any workmanship issues will be promptly addressed. To avail of these benefits, policyholders simply need to notify first and foremost to ICICI Lombard of any car damage claims, and the company, , will take care of the rest.

Mr. Gaurav Arora, Chief – Underwriting & Claims Property & Casualty at ICICI Lombard, commented, “At ICICI Lombard, our consistent focus is to deliver innovative and customized solutions.
