About Your Claim
We will contact you as quickly as possible about your claim.
For many claims the insurer will check the circumstances and damage before they authorise and pay for repairs.
The insurer may appoint a loss adjuster or investigator or contact you for more information.
Do Not Authorise Repairs Yourself
If possible, retain any damaged items, as the insurer may need to inspect them before settling your claim.
If possible, please attach proof of purchase, for each item being claimed e.g. receipt, invoice, bank/credit card statement, photo of the items, manual etc.

Can I use my own repairer?
Depending on your policy, you might have the option to choose your own repairer. When completing your claim notification form, you’ll be able to select whether you’d like to nominate your own repairer or use one recommended by the insurer if your vehicle has been damaged.
If you’re unsure about your options, your claims specialist or broker can help clarify whether you can choose your own repairer.
While you can select your own repairer, we often recommend using one of the insurer’s preferred repairers. This choice can potentially shorten the repair time by up to 5 days and ensure that the repairs are guaranteed by the insurer. We’re here to assist you and make the process as smooth as possible.
