You can manage your policy online 24/7. Simply:
  

What type of car insurance claim do you need to make?

  • If you feel your car's about to give up, try to find a safe place to pull over.
  • Switch on your warning lights. 
  • Only leave your car if you can do so safely. 
  • Be mindful of any moving traffic.

If you have breakdown cover with your Britannia Car Insurance, we're here to help 24/7. Our breakdown cover is provided by Britannia Rescue, so if you've broken down and need our help, please visit Britannia Rescue and we'll take it from there.

You can do everything else in your online Britannia account.
 

You don't need to contact us if you need to make a window or windscreen claim. You can get in touch with our recommended windscreen repairers directly. And don't worry, windscreen claims don't impact your no claim discount but your excess will apply.

  • Get names and contact details of the other driver(s) and any witnesses.

  • Take pictures of any damage.
  • Note down any injuries.

You'll need to call the police if:

  • You think the other driver(s) could be uninsured.
  • You have reason to believe the other driver(s) is under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
