‘Total Drive’ is a comprehensive motor insurance cover that helps policyholders avoid the customary hassle they might face when making a claim. Based on the nature of the accident, policyholders can call Amana Takaful’s 24 hour hotline and continue their journey uninterrupted. If additional assistance is required, the company will send a motor assessor to carry out further inspections. Policyholders will also be offered a claim settlement option instead where cash will be paid in lieu of the evaluation process which is usually associated with a claim. The network of branches located across the country provides policyholders with convenient contact points for assessing vehicle damage and processing claims.
