Accident just before car insurance renewal

leighv

Hi,

My car insurance is up for renewal - but there is an ongoing claim with the old insurer. Obviously one of the questions is what the cost of the claim is/was - information I don't have.

Any suggestions on what I should do?

Thanks.

Tell them you don't know, the claim is ongoing and not yet concluded.

The problem is that most of the price comparison sites don't have a facility to do that. The best thing to do is do some dummy quotes using a fake name/address to find the lowest quite, then call them up and explain the situation.

An open claim should be declared as a loss/fault claim. I'd call them and see if they will back-date to a non-fault claim if it turns out that way.
