ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company has joined pay-as-you-drive policy segment. In a pay-as-you-drive motor policy, the premium is based on the average distance that a policyholder drives the vehicle.

ICICI Lombard has dubbed its new offer as the motor floater policy, which provides all the covers of a traditional motor policy (like accident cover, third-party liability and personal accident cover for the owner-driver), and now offers the advantage of adding all the vehicles owned by the proposer in one policy.

It is now offering this new pay-as-you-drive policy along with an option to convert the basic motor cover into an ‘asset cum usage’ based product, wherein the premium of the basic motor vehicle will depend partially on the usage. It offers two options under the policy.

The first is the ‘pay-as-you-use’ plan offers the flexibility to choose from different ‘kilometre plans’, depending on usage and thus the premium will be limited only to the extent the vehicle is used or estimated to be used by the customer. The second option is the ‘pay-how-you-use’ plan under which the premium changes as per the driving behaviour scores, which means that a customer with good driving behaviour can avail of attractive discounts over the base premium of the policy.

ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company offers its customers a comprehensive and well-diversified range of products, including motor, health, crop/weather, fire, personal accident, marine, engineering and liability insurance, through multiple distribution channels.
