Cashless Claim Vs Reimbursement Claim – Which is Better?

Here is a comparative analysis of cashless and reimbursement claim settlement processes:

What is it?  If your vehicle is repaired at a facility that is not authorised by your insurance company you will need to raise a claim for reimbursement. Under this process, the claim amount is reimbursed to the insurance holder by the insurer after deducting compulsory and voluntary deductibles. Under this process, the claim is settled without the customer having to make upfront payments at the garage. However, the insured vehicle should be repaired at a network repair facility. Once the repairs are done, the bill is settled directly by the insurer to the garage.  
Main Advantage Policyholders need not spend time looking for a network vehicle repair facility. This can come in handy during an emergency.   No expenses need to be borne by the insurance holder. This eliminates the worry of having to arrange funds in the event of major repairs.  
Main Disadvantage All bills and documents need to be stored carefully for verification during the claim settlement process You must exclusively get your vehicle repaired at network cashless garages to avail of this facility 
Time for Claim Settlement The turnaround time for claim settlement is much longer as claims are settled after the policyholder submits the documents, which are first verified, and then the reimbursement process is initiated The turnaround time for claim settlement is much quicker as the bills are settled directly by the insurance company with the repair facility 
Documentation  The insurance holder will need to ensure all the necessary documents are collected and submitted for claim settlement. This includes repair invoices, payment receipts, cancelled cheques, FIR (in case of an accident), driver’s licence, RC book, etc.  You will only need to submit basic documents such as ID proof and address proof for the verification process
