Emphasis on Compliance with Insurance Guidelines by Garage Owners

TLDR

• The Tanzania Insurance Regulatory Authority (TIRA) Northern Zone held a meeting with garage owners in Arusha to discuss compliance with insurance guidelines.
• Dr. Emmanuel Lupilya, the TIRA Northern Zone Manager, emphasized the importance of cooperation between garages, insurance companies, and authorities for efficient vehicle assessment and repair after accidents.
• The procedure requires that the garage closest to the accident site will be the first to assess and transport the vehicle for evaluation.
• Damage assessment will involve collaboration between the garage, insurance appraisers, and other necessary experts to ensure repair costs are agreed upon by all parties before work begins.
• Customers will not be denied the right to choose their preferred garage, but the initial process will start at the accident location.
