The Process with
Direct Line

What you need for your claim

• Your Policy Number and documents
• Your vehicle registration number
• Details about what happened and when
• Details of other people, vehicles or properties involved
• Contact details for any witnesses
• Crime reference number (if applicable)

If your car’s damaged, Direct Line can arrange for an approved garage to repair It for you. If you’re happy to use them, they’ll contact you to confirm all the arrangements.

If the cost of repairing the damage to your car is more than the cost of replacing it, your car is considered a ‘Total Loss’.

This means direct line need to put a settlement value on it. If it’s less than a year old and you’re the first and only registered owner, they will try to offer you a permanent replacement of the same make and model. If a replacement isn’t possible, a cash settlement might be offered instead, less any excess that might apply.
