Making a claim can sometimes lead to an increase in renewal price, but this will be based on the individual circumstances of the incident.
If you make a claim then your no claims discount may be affected. Factors such as; who was at fault, previous claims and whether you have opted to protect your no claims discount will all be considered. No Claims Discount Protection does not protect the overall price of your insurance policy. The price of your insurance policy may increase following an accident even if you were not at fault.
We have a network of approved repairers who will take care of your vehicle, getting you back on the road as soon as possible.
If you choose to use one of our approved repairers they will supply you with a courtesy car whilst yours is being repaired. If your vehicle is not repairable then we will not supply you with a courtesy car, unless you have purchased Replacement car for theft and total loss cover.
This is when the damage to your vehicle is uneconomical to repair. We have a dedicated team who will discuss settlement with you. The settlement figure will be the market value of the vehicle immediately before the incident and will reflect the cost of replacing it with one of a similar age, type and condition.
