Make a car insurance claim Car accident claims


If you are looking to make a claim on your car insurance policy you should think twice before making any non-fault claims.

Making a non-fault claim on your insurance should not cost you anything to get your vehicle restored to its pre-accident condition – in theory.

The reality is - you will almost certainly be asked to pay your excess before they will start repairs on your car. Your insurer should eventually recover this money from the at-fault driver’s insurer – but why pay this in the first place, when you don’t have to?

Also, what is going to happen when you come to renew your insurance policy? It will almost certainly have gone up – as a direct result of your non-fault claim

The simple fact is, someone else’s careless driving is likely to cost you money.

No need to claim on your insurance

Anyone who has been involved in a road accident has the right to choose who repairs their vehicle. If you were responsible for the accident you were involved in, the company that insures your vehicle would normally deal with your accident claim.

However if you were not at-fault for the accident, you can choose to either claim on your own insurance policy or make a claim independently of your insurer. To find out more call 02392 484 244 and we will be happy to help.

No excess to pay

Unfortunately even if an accident was not your fault, your insurer will almost certainly require you to pay your excess before any repair is started on your car.

This money should of course be recovered by an insurer at a later date, but with our service - you do not have to pay it at all.

By using our independent claims service, you are not making a claim on your insurance policy and so you will have no excess to pay.

Receive a comparable replacement hire vehicle

Not all insurance policies will include a replacement hire-car for you to use if yours is damaged and unroadworthy. In fact it is typically an 'optional extra' on your policy.

Other policies may offer a 'courtesy car' but this is often just a 'basic' saloon or hatchback which may not be suitable for your needs.

Car Call and its partners will provide a comparable replacement vehicle as part of our service. This means we will endeavour to supply a hire-vehicle that similar to your own in terms of its type, make and engine size.

So whether you drive a small hatchback or a prestige sports car, we will look to provide a similar hire-vehicle that suits your needs.
