I've been involved in a car accident, what should I do?
First check to make sure everyone's OK and ring 000 in case of injury or hazard.
If your car can't be driven (after an incident we cover) and your policy covers towing, call us 24/7 on 132 132 and we'll arrange a tow for you.
To see if you're covered for towing, read the Policy Disclosure Statement (PDS) on our policy booklets page.
If another car is involved, it's important to try and get the other driver's details. If you can, ask for their:
- Name
- Address
- Licence number
- Car's registration number
It's also helpful to take photos of the damage to both cars.
