It’s important to do these things before making your claim:
- ensure everyone is safe and contact emergency services if anyone has been injured in an accident
- notify the police if your car has been stolen or maliciously damaged (note the police record report number and officer details)
- take all reasonable care to prevent further loss or liability.
4 Simple Steps to Making a Claim (based on your claim being accepted)
1. Call us with your registration and policy number to lodge your claim.
2. You take your car to a reputable repairer and give them your claim number. They'll take photos of the damage and email them to us with a quote to repair your car.
3. Your car will be assessed to ensure quality repairs and costs are fair and reasonable.
4. We’ll manage the process and payments with the repairer, and keep you updated on progress.
If this is the only damage to your car phone 0800 227 787 to lodge your claim and find a reputable glass company to repair the damage. Depending on the policy you have with us you may have to pay an excess if the windscreen needs replacing.
It’s important to get as much information from them as possible e.g. drivers full name, drivers licence no, address, phone number, car registration, insurance company (if any). If you’re not at fault for the accident and we have other person’s details, we may waive your excess.
Do not admit fault for the damage/accident and do not promise to pay for any costs. Tell them we’re your insurance company and they can call us on 0800 227 787.
