The Insurance Regulatory Authority (ARI) has said that companies offering motor vehicle insurance cannot reject accident claims that happen during curfew hours. “As per the approved and standardized motor insurance policy documents, driving past and during curfew hours is not an exclusion in the current motor vehicle insurance covers. As such, insurance companies cannot reject motor vehicle claims on the basis of timing,” IRA said in a statement on Wednesday. Motorists driving past curfew hours risked having their insurance claims rendered invalid. “Driving past curfew hours without essential services authorisation or valid emergency reasons could render your motor insurance claim invalid,” AKPIA said in a statement.
