Digit’s Daily Conveyance Benefit is an add-on cover in car insurance where the insurer will compensate the transportation cost incurred by the policyholder during the repair period due to the non-availability of the insured vehicle. 

The benefit can be helpful when the insured vehicle has met with an accident as the add-on cover will offer continued connectivity and help tackle the financial burden arising from it.

The claim for damage or accidental loss filed with the insurer must be admitted under the Own Damage section of car insurance policy to avail the benefit of daily conveyance add-on cover.
