If your car is damaged and it is covered by your policy, we recommend that you take it to one of our Aligned Repairers, or that you arrange for its collection by one of them.

If you do not use an Aligned Repairer, you should arrange for an estimate of repair costs to be sent to us by your selected repairer. You can authorise repairs provided that the estimate does not exceed €650.

If you have a claim, it may increase the cost of your premium when your policy is due for renewal. Your No Claim Bonus may also be affected; this depends on the level of No Claim Bonus Protection you select.
