Insurance warning

Be very aware of fraud and cash for crash accidents.

Some usefull steps, you can take to minimise the risk.

  1. Never tailgate - Allow plenty of space between you and the car in front.
  2. Look beyond the car in front - If you see erratic driving up ahead, slow down and be ready to brake hard, remember you may be the intended victim.
  3. Carry a pen and paper - Take note and keep a disposable camera or mobile for taking pictures.

Concentrate on your driving - If you are distracted, by using a mobile phone or other device, this could harm you in any insurance claim.

What to do if you are involved in a suspect accident

  1. Stay calm - Think clearly and as with any accident do not admit liability.
  2. If you think another vehicle may have been involved, try and get the registration number and or description.
  3. Call the police - If you have any suspicions about the accident , or if anyone is injured.
  4. Use a camera or phone camera to photograph the immediate scene,road markings and any damage to the car involved.
  5. Count the number of occupants in the car - Numbers can grow in the days following an accident.
  6. Get the names, address and dates of birth of all occupants and note where they where sitting in the car.
  7. Look for independent witnesses - avoid anyone who is too enthusiastic , they may be in on the scam.
  8. Look for CCTV cameras in the area and tell your insurer as soon as possible, so they can try and gather footage.
  9. Share any concerns you may have with your insurer.

Call the confidential insurance fraud bureau (IFB) cheat line on 0800 328 2550 with any information, you may feel is relevant.

Keydrive and its insurers will investigate all claims to the full, we have a shared database with other rental companies and can look for any serial claimers.We will prosecute to the maximum, anyone suspected of insurance fraud.
