The repairer will not release your vehicle until any excess applying has been paid. In the event of a total loss, the excess will be deducted from the settlement cheque you receive. The excess payable will be the combined total of the Compulsory and Voluntary Excesses applying on the policy.

Compulsory Excess
A compulsory excess is the excess applied by the insurer, it cannot be be removed from the policy. In addition to the standard compulsory excess, additional compulsory excesses may apply in certain circumstances, ie. if the vehicle is being ridden by a young rider or for specific vehicle types. Most comprehensive policies now carry a compulsory excess. In the event of a claim all compulsory excesses applying are added to any voluntary excess selected by the client.

Voluntary Excess
A voluntary excess is an additional amount the policyholder chooses to pay in the event of a claim in order to achieve a reduction in their premium. In the event of a claim the voluntary excess will be added to any compulsory excesses applying.

Insurers may still apply a premium load for claims experience but your no claims discount will remain intact.

Only no claims bonus earned driving a taxi can be used on a taxi policy.

If the immobiliser on your car is not factory fitted, we will require a copy of your certificate of installation.

A tracker is an electronic device installed in vehicles to enable vehicle owners or third parties to track the location of a vehicle in the event that it is stolen.

In addition to the cost of installing the tracker, the owner must pay an annual subscription to provide for the ongoing tracking service.

All of our insurers insist on us collecting a copy driving licence. We will check the licence to see that any endorsements or fixed penalties have been correctly notified, your address is correct and that you have the correct entitlements for the vehicle you are using. These checks are in place to protect our customers. It is better to deal with any issues at the start of the policy rather than when a claim has occurred. Inconsistencies in the information supplied may lead to a claim not being met.

Please provide us with the renewal invitation from your previous insurer. Alternatively, provide us with the name and contact details of your previous insurer along with your policy number and we will try to obtain verbal confirmation of your entitlement on your behalf.

A Fault Claim is an accident or loss where you are considered to be to blame, or where your insurance company cannot recover their costs in full from someone else. Claims made for loss due to fire or theft, damage caused by an unknown or uninsured driver and vandalism claims must be recorded as 'Fault' claims.

A 'Non Fault Claim' is a claim where you or your insurer has been successful in recovering all costs associated with the claim from the responsible party.

Please note, claims that are likely to be settled 'Non Fault' but which are still pending at policy commencement or renewal will be recorded as 'Fault Claims' until such times as all costs have been recovered.

You must disclose all accidents, incidents and thefts even when no claim was made. Insurers check various databases as part of their validation process and discovery of a previously undisclosed incident may invalidate your policy.
