Compare non-fault car insurance claims with Accident Management






In the UK, anyone who has become the innocent victim of someone else’s careless driving is entitled to have all reasonable expenses, including repairs to their vehicle and a replacement hire-car, paid for by the insurer of the person responsible.

This means that as far as possible, the victim of the accident is not left out-of-pocket in any way, their vehicle is returned to its pre-accident condition and during the repair process they are able to continue their daily activities as if nothing had happened.

That’s what your insurer should do, right? Well not exactly.

If you have any excess on your car insurance policy, you will almost certainly still have to pay this before the repairs to your vehicle are started. You should get this money back from your insurer, weeks or months later when they have recovered all your losses.

Now remember that the accident was not your fault? Well now your insurer will almost certainly increase your next insurance premium because they now consider that you are more likely to have an accident in the future.

Make sense? – no we don’t think so either…


How our non-fault accident management service benefits you

The fact that we make thousands of successful independent claims every year proves that our customers have made the right choice in using our service instead of a non-fault claim on their own car insurance policy.

I have to claim on my car insurance, don’t I?

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.

Many of our accident repair centres are have manufacturer approvals for specific brands, so if you require a manufacturer approved repair centre, simply tell your personal claim handler and they will ensure your vehicle goes to an approved repairer.

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