Child car seat replacement

• Did you know that if your car has been in an accident - even if there is no visible damage - it is possible that your child car seat could be weakened so that it will not provide the same level of protection in a further accident?
• The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (ROSPA) recommends that all child car seats should be replaced following an accident. That's why we'll provide child car seat cover as standard with our comprehensive motor insurance polices. We'll replace your child car seat up to the value of £100 following an accident or theft - even if it looks undamaged.

Should you have an accident, and your car is being fixed by one of our approved repairers, you will be put in touch with one person and they will be your sole point of contact until your car is back on the road. And don't forget, you have the reassurance that all repairs to your car are made by our network of approved garages and are guaranteed for 3 years.
