How do I make a claim?
Our claims process is designed to get you back on the road as quickly as possible, with just 4 simple steps:
- Step 1:If you notice a fault call our claims department on 0345 2224544.
- Step 2:Opteven Insured UK Ltd. will manage the claim for you, or you can choose your own repairer. Just let us know when you
call.
If you wish to use your own repairer, we’ll agree costs with them at the same parts and hourly labour rate that our network repairers charge. If you’ve used your own repairer, you’ll be responsible for any excess parts and labour charges.
- Step 3:You’ll be provided with an authorisation number.
- Step 4:Once the claim has been authorised by Opteven, your repairer can proceed with the repairs. Opteven will settle the invoice with the repairer directly. If you’ve used your own repairer, please send Opteven the repairer’s invoice. Please ensure that the authorisation number is marked on the invoice, and state clearly who is to be paid
Claims must be reported within 7 days of the fault occurring. If you do not report a claim within this time frame, it could impact our ability to assess and pay for your repair.
