Concerning the expert report for the claim
For damage with a repair estimate of less than €750, compensation will usually be based on the estimate made by the garage, without the intervention of an expert.
For damage greater than €750, an expert report will be necessary and organised by our company with the appointed garage.
If the Pick-up & Delivery Service is used or the repair is done by a garage that is one of our partners, the expert report can be carried out remotely, which reduces repair times.
Did you know?
Excess
If your Auto OptiDrive policy has an excess, this amount of compensation will remain your responsibility.
