What is Hero Insurance Cashless Claim Procedure?

Follow the below-mentioned steps to get cashless repairs at network garages –

Step 1 – Purchase Hero Insurance that provides own damage cover

Step 2 – Inform the insurer in case of an accident.

Step 3 –  Later, the insurer will inspect your Hero bike at the network garage and approve the claim accordingly

Step 4 –  Your bike will be repaired within 2-3 days, until then, the insurer will pay you a daily allowance for conveyance

Step 5 –  The daily allowance will stop when your bike is repaired and delivered to you

  1. Ensure that your policy is active during the time of an accident

  5. Check if your reason is valid to raise a claim under the policy
  6. Do not raise a claim if it is not necessary or the damage is too small
