Handy FAQs
-
Do I need a quote? Using the recommended network often requires just one quote; your own repairer may need a comparison.
-
Will I get a hire car? Typically after theft (limits apply); other situations depend on your cover.
-
When should I notify Police? If someone is injured, a car needs towing, details aren’t exchanged, or a law may have been broken.
