How to report a claim

Insurance is something you have hoping that you’ll never have to use it – but accidents do happen.

There are two ways you can report a claim;

DIRECT REPORTING TO YOUR INSURERS, they are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  Please see below for contact numbers they can also be found in your policy booklet.

Alternatively use our NEW CLAIMS APP

This is a free download from the android playstore & itunes store and reports directly to us. For more information about the App please click here.

It’s really important to report the incident as quickly as possible as speedier reporting means speedier authorisation of repairs to your vehicle. Also the quicker insurers are aware of a claim, the better position they are in to defend a claim and mitigate costs which ultimately helps in keeping your insurance costs down.

Remember that we are always here to help should you need us whether it is about a claim, changes to your policy covers or advice.
