CRED Garage has announced a partnership with Acko Insurance to enhance its vehicle management services, marking the fourth insurance collaboration for the platform, reported Financial Express.
This partnership, set to go live soon, will introduce additional conveniences for users such as vehicle pick-up and drop facilities for claims processing.
Launched in September 2023, CRED Garage provides a platform for users to manage expenses of vehicles, track insurance renewals and expiry dates of pollution certificates, and maintain a record of traffic fines.
The service is offered free of charge, with CRED earning commissions from insurance policies sold via the platform with 4.4 million users managing seven million registered vehicles.
CRED identified a pattern among its high-credit-score users, which led to the creation of CRED Garage.
The platform caters specifically to users with high credit scores, offering them discounts on insurance premiums between 7.5% and 12.5%, based on their creditworthiness.

Head of product and growth Akshay Aedula said: “The story of Garage, the way we stumbled upon it, was actually similar to insights we had on payments and lending. India today has 40 million unique credit card holders. That is the audience that we cater to. We looked at how many privately owned cars there are in India – that number also was 40 million.”
