Submit Your Claim With Ease
A prompt response to claims filed is at the
very heart of our business.
We recognise that the way we handle claims defines our service experience with our policyholders as well as our brokers.
To begin the claims process, simply complete and submit the form below.
When completing a claim form, the following information must be provided:
- A short and clear description of the incident
- Clear photographs and a sketch of the incident
- Details about where the incident happened
- The exact time of the incident
The more information we have about the incident, the quicker we can process the claim.
Having a clear and detailed description helps avoid the delay of requesting additional information. It also helps us to make sure that the Insured is covered for that particular event.
Photos and a detailed sketch of the accident are especially important as they show us the area of impact. They also assist in determining whether the description of the incident matches the damage to the vehicle/s.
The time and place of the incident will determine whether or not the Insurer should appoint an investigator to validate the claim. This is especially relevant to incidents which occur in high-risk arears and between 10pm and 4am on weekends.

Whether you’re making a claim over the phone or online, you’ll need to provide us with a few details, including:
- Your policy number
- Date and time of the incident/event that has resulted in loss or damage.
- Any evidence of lost or damaged items such as original receipts, photographs and so on.
- Relevant documents that support your claim, such as a police report.
Be sure to notify us as soon as possible in the event of loss or damage. This way, the process can get underway even if you don’t have everything you’ll need to finalise the claim.
