What happens next?

We’ll usually:

  • Check that you’re covered by your insurance - Your Insurance Policy Documents - Rias.
  • Confirm how much excess you’ll need to pay. You can check this in your Statement of Fact, which can be found in your online account or policy confirmation email.
  • Ask for supporting evidence – this could include photos and quotes.
  • Send you a link to the online claims hub to manage your claim and upload photos or documents.
  • Suggest the best course of action or options. If the damage is substantial, we’ll send an expert round to talk you through your options.
  • Review your claim and keep you updated.
  • Offer repairs or replacements – we have a huge network of approved repairers. We’ll pick the best one for you and take care of everything.
  • Or organise a cash settlement if appropriate.

You’ll receive a decision on the outcome of your claim straightaway if we can. If, for any reason, we are unable to provide you with an immediate decision, we'll tell you what will happen next and how long it might take.
