Important information you need to know

  • First and foremost make sure you and your family are safe.
  • Make sure you take reasonable precautions to prevent any further loss or damage (such as if one car window is smashed, park it up against a wall so that it is difficult for someone else to enter through it).
  • Please don’t spend any money on repairs or replacement without talking to us first. If it’s an emergency, go ahead, but keep any receipts to claim a reimbursement.
  • Please phone us on 0800 800 800 as soon as possible if you receive documents from anyone else about your claim.
  • If you may have caused damage to someone else's property, please don’t admit you are at fault. Simply say you need to speak to your insurer and phone us on 0800 800 800.
  • Contact the police immediately if the loss or damage was caused by an illegal act.
