Did you know?
Using your own insurance for a non-fault claim can adversely affect your premiums.
By law, you’re entitled to choose your claims process. A claim on your insurance remains open until fully recovered, possibly raising your premiums by 20% to 50%. This could also impact your future policies. Choosing Honest Driver prevents these repercussions.
