Garda Oto

What Garda Oto does

Garda Oto is the consumer-facing digital insurance brand of PT Asuransi Astra Buana (Asuransi Astra), part of Indonesia's Astra Group conglomerate. The platform operates as a multi-line general insurance marketplace targeting individual Indonesian consumers across six product lines: vehicle insurance (Garda Oto), home/fire insurance (Garda Home), outpatient health insurance (Garda Healthtech), travel insurance (Garda Trip), personal accident insurance (Garda Me), and education insurance (Garda Edu). Micro-insurance variants of Me and Edu extend coverage into lower-income segments with premiums from Rp30,000.

The core technology is a digital distribution and service stack centered on gardaoto.com and the myGarda mobile application (Android and iOS). myGarda enables end-to-end policy purchase, e-policy issuance within 24 hours, virtual and home-based vehicle survey, claim submission and status tracking, and integration with 24/7 Garda Siaga emergency roadside assistance. Pickup Delivery Service transports vehicles between customer locations and partner workshops in Jakarta, Bogor, Bandung, and Surabaya. Telemedicine is delivered through a Halodoc integration for Garda Healthtech, and emergency travel assistance through PT AA International for Garda Trip.

The business model is recurring annual insurance premiums across the product portfolio, monetized through digital self-service purchase, bank installment partnerships (PermataBank, BCA, Mandiri with 0% installment up to 12 months), and AstraPay. Pricing tiers span from Rp30,000 micro products to Rp2 billion building coverage, with active promotional discounting up to 25%. Distribution blends digital self-service (gardaoto.com, myGarda app) with a physical backbone of 27+ Asuransi Astra branch offices, Garda Center counters inside shopping malls, service points, and 500+ authorized/partner vehicle workshops across Indonesia. The company is licensed and supervised by OJK (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan) and is a private operating division of the Astra Group, with no independent fundraising or public listing.
