A named driver on my policy had an accident (non-fault). I understand that I must put down yes for claims on my insurance but on gocompare, the dropdown menu does not indicate if the named driver  had an accident, so its assuming ive had an accident (main driver) when it was the secondary driver, I just want to declare a claim. Also, it asks for total cost of claim, my vehicle was written off what figure shall i put in?

    Ref GoCompare - when adding a named driver it does ask for information about the specific driver (Screen shot below, in the additional driver section of a quote -  if you scroll down and click yes against the question
    In the last five years has this driver (or any other driver named on a policy they've held) had or caused any accidents, claims or damage"
