If any physical damages reported for a trip and either driver or host chose to resolve through Carchaze, Drivers will be charged for the out of pocket excess amount under the chosen protection plan, If total costs are less than driver’s out of pocket excess amount, we’ll refund the difference. Carchaze will reimburse hosts for a portion of eligible physical damage repair costs in excess of the deductible up to Rs. 5 lac, subject to terms and exclusions, and Insurance company would cover the rest for the lesser of the cost of repair up to the actual cash value of the vehicle.
The frequency of claims and costs are completely probabilistic but is manageable to reduce by implementing processing fees, appraisal costs and imposing penalties to either driver or host whoever is at fault, this way will encourage both parties to resolve independently and result to reduce the overall expense.
Claim expenses will be high initially due to its newness but as the customer ages, driver and hosts both will fully understand the protection plan and how it works, resulting to reduce the claim expenses.
