Airtel Payments Bank on Monday announced that it will offer comprehensive car insurance in association with Bharti AXA General Insurance. The Smart Drive Private Car Insurance offers financial protection against damage to the vehicle due to accident, theft, and natural & man-made disasters. It also compensates for injury or damages to another person or property caused by a car accident. 

The insurance comes with a personal accident cover for the policyholder. In the event of an accident leading to permanent disablement or loss of life, this ensures financial protection for the family.

Airtel Payments Bank’s customers can easily purchase this policy within five minutes using a paperless, secure, and quick process through the Airtel Thanks app. With no pre-inspection required, a customer only needs to fill in the details about the vehicle, and the insurance is immediately issued on their registered email id and mobile number. 

At the time of the renewal, customers can choose from a wide range of add-on covers. This includes depreciation cover, small consumable items, loss or replacement of car key, roadside assistance in the event of car breakdown, damage of engine or gearbox, medical expenses if the policyholder is injured, ambulance expense to reach the hospital, and many more. 

Sanjeev Srinivasan, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director, Bharti AXA General Insurance, said, "We always look for creating ecosystems that help us improve reach of our insurance solutions. As part of our partnership with Airtel Payments Bank and strong synergies of customer-centricity, we are offering innovative motor insurance products to customers through a seamless journey from the purchase to the claim process. The strategic alliance will also help us reach out to the growing customer base of the bank and secure them.''
