Direct payment

Hydra Insurance's publicly available motor/Casco materials (product page and homepage) do not describe a network of garages, hospitals or other providers that the company bills directly. The company only states that it processes claims "fairly, efficiently and expeditiously" and provides "swift claims payment for any loss, damage, or liability", which indicates the insurer pays/settles claims itself rather than describing a cashless/direct-billing scheme with repairers. No dedicated IPID or Terms & Conditions document setting out a direct-payment (cashless) arrangement for the Motor/Casco product was located; based on the available company communications, claims appear to be settled by Hydra Insurance paying the claim rather than a documented direct-payment-to-provider process.
