ICICI Lombard Health Insurance

ICICI Lombard General Insurance is a private insurance company in India.They are one of the boons that liberalisation has given us.I needed to renew the third party liability motor vehicle insurance of my bajaj ct100 motorcycle.I visited the office of United India Insurance.They guys there consider people visiting there to pay premium as refugees.They favours payment via agent who would share their money with these crooks.I hate the office and i am planning to buy icici lombhard insurance the next time for my bike and car.The insurance of my car expired last month.I was unaware of the last date.But i knew an employee in United India Insurance (This one belonged to a different office).I paid him Rs 950 for premium worth Rs 780. ICICI lombard is offering health insurance.
