Scratch & Dent Insurance | Cosmetic Repair Insurance | Smart Insurance

Scratch and Dent Insurance is specifically designed to cover the cost of repairing the body panels of your vehicle as a result of minor body damage.

The aim of Scratch and Dent insurance is to offer a quick and effective repair to the damage of your vehicle, which will be carried out by our approved repairer, using pioneering forms of refurbishment and repair techniques.

Our Scratch and Dent & Alloy Wheel Insurance builds on standard levels of scratch and dent cover and adds additional features which cover your alloy wheels, meaning more flexibility, more cover, and we think more value for more. 

Scratch & Dent & Alloy Wheel Insurance

Scratch & Dent & Alloy Wheel Insurance combines Scratch and Dent and alloy wheel insurance into one flexible policy offering the potential to make more claims as well as having the option to have a body shop contribution. Helping to keep your car showroom ready.

No waiting periods and no excess to pay.  

Please remember that your policy will not cover damage that has already happened. 

Accidents happen, scratches happen, and alloy wheels get damaged. No matter how careful you can not control the actions of others. Bodywork and alloy wheel damage can not only change the appearance of your car but can also have a negative impact on any part exchange or resale value.
