Please call AXA Assistance on 01737 815 404 to notify your claim. You will receive a claim form to complete and will be asked to send us copies of your documents.

What will I need?


To make a claim we will ask you to submit supporting documentation listed below. It is important you submit all the documentation requested, as we will be unable to process your claim until received.

1. Scheme Code: 10387
2. Evidence the excess amount has been paid to your motor insurer following your claim
3. Evidence that your claim with your main insurer has been settled stating that you were at fault.
4. Certificate of main insurance policy that you have paid the excess on.

What is covered?


We will pay you the excess in respect of a valid claim up to a £600 limit in respect of claims arising from a motor claim only.

You are also covered where you have been unsuccessful in recovering the excess cost from a liable third party within six months of making a valid claim under your main insurance policy.

Once you have made claims which total the annual limit, no further payments will be made under this policy and this motor excess insurance policy will lapse. You will then be liable for all and any future excess payments as defined in your main insurance policy.

Full details of what is and what isn't covered, and other important information can be found in your policy documentation.
