We aim to ensure we continue to deliver a high level of service for our customers in their time of need. Whether you have a claim related to your home, car or travel insurance, or you're helping your local community or are an NHS worker, we're doing all we can to support you.
For your peace of mind, here are some of the options we can offer you if you're a Rias customer and are being impacted by Coronavirus (COVID-19).
You don’t need to call. Government guidance is changing daily, and we continue to monitor the situation. We will adapt the support we provide as needed and continue to update this page. If you need our help or have any concerns, please contact us.
Customers who purchased their insurance with Rias can manage their account online. If you'd like to speak to someone, our teams are available between 8.30am and 8.00pm Monday to Friday and between 8.30am and 4.00pm on Saturdays.
We have had to change when you can speak to some of our teams. You can report a household claim over the phone Monday to Friday 8.30am -11pm or Saturday and Sunday 8.30am - 5pm, with our overnight teams available for emergencies 11pm - 7am. To discuss an existing claim, our teams are available Mon-Friday 8.30am - 5pm. You can report a claim online anytime 24/7.

Yes. We're busy helping customers every day.
To support the effort to tackle this pandemic, we’re prioritising key workers’ car insurance claims to make sure they are able to continue their vital work.
For home insurance claims, our suppliers are working within government guidelines, and where it is safe to do so, are making sure customer’s homes are back to normal as promptly as possible.
Current government restrictions mean that, across all claims, some activity might be limited or that some things take longer than usual. Our teams will advise you on whether this will affect your claim and how we can help limit any inconvenience as your claim progresses.
Yes. We're working hard to settle customer claims as quickly as possible, but our team are operating and working a little differently to how they were prior to the Coronavirus outbreak.
If you have an existing claim, it is possible that your claim may take longer than usual as our network of approved repairers have adapted their working processes to ensure the safety of customers, and their own teams.
We are also prioritising key workers, and urgent and emergency claims.
We're grateful for the cooperation and consideration our customers have shown while our teams have been adapting to the changing situation. We will continue to minimise the impact to our customers during these challenging times.
Our primary concern is the safety of our employees and their loved ones. To ensure that they stay well and can continue to provide an essential service to our customers we have taken a number of steps to minimise the number of people at our offices.
We have invested in additional equipment and systems so that over 80% of our team are able to work from home.
There are some services we’re not yet able to deliver through home working and, to maintain that service, we are asking fewer than 100 employees to come into the office. To keep them safe, we’re enforcing guidelines, including ensuring no one sits within two metres of anyone else, deep cleaning regularly and encouraging people to talk to us about any worries so we can help.
Yes. We have worked with our suppliers to ensure the relevant guidance on preventing the spread of Coronavirus is followed.
This does mean that some repairs will take longer, because fewer people are able to work at the same location or because additional time is required as some tasks have to be done in a new way.
As the guidance is updated, we will continue to adapt how we work to ensure our customers, team and suppliers are safe.
From handy hints to the latest updates - stay in the loop with the topics that matter to you.
