How much excess will I pay if I make a claim?

You can find details of applicable excesses in your Policy Schedule that you will need to pay in the event of a claim for damage to your car.

If you are not at fault and you report the incident to us quickly, you may not have to pay any excess.

We won’t apply your policy excess to a claim for medical expenses, personal belongings, nor when your car is being used by the motor trade or in the custody or control of valet parking.

Call our approved windscreen repairer, Auto Windscreens, on 0330 022 9449. They will arrange to either repair or replace the windscreen at your convenience.

What happens if my car is stolen?

If your car has been stolen, dial 101 and ask to be put through to your local police.
Make sure you know your car’s registration number, make, model and colour.
The police will provide you with a crime reference number, and let the DVLA know that your car has been stolen.

We’ll confirm your details, record the crime reference number and begin to monitor the location of your car, liaising with the police as appropriate.

Hopefully, your car will be recovered undamaged. If your car is recovered but damaged, or not recovered at all, please call our Claims team on 0330 022 0123 and we’ll help you with your claim.
