What is accident assistance and how do claims work?

Accident Assistance is a service provided by us to help you navigate the challenging moments immediately following an accident, even before you need to file an insurance claim. We're here to guide you through the process and provide support. If you need to make a claim, the support we provide with Recovery and Repair will likely form part of your claim, whether you choose to proceed with further support from us, or decide to claim through your insurer.

Do I need to involve my own insurance company?

In most cases when you are not at fault for an accident, involving your insurance company is not necessary. Volvo Accident Management services can handle the entire claim process on your behalf and handle the hassle of liaising with the at-fault party's insurer.

What am I eligible for when I'm not at fault?

We offer a comprehensive range of services, including vehicle repair, replacement vehicle provision, legal assistance, and claims management. Our goal is to minimise your inconvenience, simplify the process, and help you get back on the road efficiently.

Can I choose which Approved Bodyshop repairs my car?

Yes, if you have a preferred Volvo Approved Bodyshop, please let us know. If your vehicle is unroadworthy and you need immediate recovery, we can recommend the right place for you.

Will I receive a replacement vehicle whilst my Volvo is being repaired?

While your Volvo is being repaired, we may be able to provide you with a replacement vehicle, subject to your eligibility, ensuring minimal disruption to your daily life.
