    Make a car insurance claim

    It's reassuring to know you've got cover should something unexpected happen. We’ll aim to get you back on the road as soon as possible if you need to make a claim.

    Getting started

    When you rely on your car, you can count on us to keep you on the road. If you need to make a car insurance claim we’ll keep things as simple as possible.

    Step 1 - To claim or not to claim? 

    Not all accidents or incidents will result in a claim being made. Depending on the excess on your policy, it may be cheaper to pay for smaller repairs instead of making a claim and paying the excess. 

    If you have built up several years No Claims Discount (NCD) you may prefer to protect this rather than make a claim.

    Whether you decide to make a claim or pay for the repairs yourself, you do need to notify us. This is to ensure that our records are correct and your policy has the correct level of cover.

    Step 2 - Getting in touch

    If you need to contact us to make a claim please rest assured we have a dedicated team ready to help you. A claims consultant will work closely with you and keep you informed on the progress of your claim. We will aim to make the whole process as simple as possible.
