Accident advice series: part one
🚗 MYTH: You have to go through your insurance after an accident.
Not necessarily.
Many drivers assume their only option after an accident is to contact their insurer and let them decide what happens next. In reality, there may be alternative routes available.
One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is that you must use your insurer’s approved repairer. In many cases, you have the right to choose where your vehicle is repaired and explore options that may be better suited to your needs.
The most important thing is understanding your options before making a decision.
Knowledge is power when it comes to accident claims, car repairs, courtesy cars and getting your vehicle back to its pre-accident condition.
