Collision Damage Waiver claim

I hired a van last year when I was moving house and managed not very cleverly to scrape the side of it :-(

I had taken out CDW so had to pay the initial amount (£900) but then claimed this back on my CDW policy.

My question is, and apologies if I'm being a bit naive here, but does this count as a claim with regards to my personal car insurance policy? I'm not sure whether when I have to renew my personal car policy I have to make reference to this CDW claim?

Many thanks in advance for any advice :-)

    if its a claim yes, as the question normaly is have you ever made a claim
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    I think you are complicating things.

    You had an incident/accident which needs to be disclosed.

    You could however check CUE to see what is recorded against you.
