Hi, I started a new policy for car insurance today. I have an outstanding claim still on the go. Do I need to tell my new insurer about this even though the claim is outstanding?

    there is normally a box to say ongoing pr claim outstanding.. ring them to amend the policy NOW.. and state the claim is still ongoing

    Phone up your previous insurer as they will have an idea of how much it will likely to cost- Probably called a PMO possible maximum outlay or a CR claim reserve
  • Thanks for your help.
    Just an update, I called Elephant and they said don't worry just give them a call once my insurer has notified me of how much the claim came to.

    All sorted for now, lets just hope it does not put the cost up too much!!

    Thanks for your help.
