Do I have to make an insurance claim after my accident?

Many people believe that using your insurer is the only way to get your vehicle repaired and be provided with a replacement during the repair process.

It’s up to you. If your policy provides the legal cover and the assistance you require and you are not concerned about the effect your claim may have on your future insurance costs – you may choose to claim on you own insurance policy.

However using our alternative claims assistance allows you to get your vehicle repaired, a suitable replacement and legal assistance all without potentially losing your no-claims bonus and increasing the future cost of your car insurance.

If you were responsible for the accident, making an insurance claim on your own policy may be your only course of action; however if you feel the accident was not your fault, you also have the option of making your accident claim independently of your insurer.


How our independent motor claims service benefits you

We and our partners help thousands of motorists every year get the assistance that they need following an accident, but without making a claim on their own insurance policies.

Our customers choose our service because it not only provides everything they need, but it means they don't have to pay any excess they may have on their car insurance policy. Another key benefit is that your no-claims bonus should not be affected by your independent claim.

Unless you have ‘legal expenses’ cover you may not be covered for what are called ‘un-insured losses’ which are essentially any other costs or expenses that are not covered on your policy. These could include the recovery accident expenses, lost earnings, travel costs, hire-vehicle costs or personal injury claim costs.

Our claims service includes this ‘as standard’ regardless of your type of insurance cover.

How much does our service cost? Because we deal directly with the insurer of the at-fault driver, all costs and charges are recovered directly from them on your behalf.

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.

Manufacturer approved vehicle repairs

If you have been involved in a car accident, the last thing you want to have to worry about is the quality of the repairs to your car. We have a UK wide network of partner approved Accident Repair Centres available to all of our customers.

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.
