Surely a claim on my car insurance is the best option?

Well if you don’t mind your insurance premiums going up and having to pay your excess – then perhaps it is? Our customers don’t think so.

You have the right to choose who repairs your vehicle. If you were not responsible for the accident, you can claim on your own policy but you will almost certainly have to pay your insurance excess up-front before your vehicle is repaired and you will probably lose your no-claims bonus as well.


There is an alternative to an insurance claim

We can help you make a claim independently of your insurer. We deal directly with the insurer of the at-fault driver on your behalf, arrange the assistance you need and recovering all the costs and charges for you.

This enables you to get on with your normal activities without having to worry about any ‘unexpected’ costs resulting from the accident - now or in the future.

Our service includes: -

  • Recovery of your vehicle to an approved accident repair centre

  • A comparable replacement for your damaged car

  • Your replacement is delivered typically within 3 hours (if your vehicle is un-drivable) of accepting your claim

  • We arrange your repairs at one of our approved accident repair centres or you can choose the repairer your self

  • Our repairers only use genuine replacement parts and all repairs are fully guaranteed

  • Legal assistance will be arranged for accident related issues including travel expenses, lost earnings, damaged property or claims for injury compensation

  • Recovery of all costs and charges associated with your claim from the insurer of the at-fault driver

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.

We and our partners help thousands of people make independent accident claims. Our service enables motorists to get the help and assistance they need to resolve their accident related issues, with the costs being recovered directly from the at-fault driver on your behalf.

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.

Want you vehicle repaired by a specific garage? No problem, we can alternatively use a repairer that you specify.
