Hassle-free claims process

Having your car or property stolen or damaged is stressful. Our Claims Specialists are here to support you by guiding you through the claims process. By following the advice below, you'll make it easier for our experts to handle your claim as quickly as possible.

Do everything you can to stop further loss or damage from occurring.

Depending on the incident, this might involve:

• Securing your car
• Moving cars or other property out of danger
• Other actions to prevent further loss or damage

Claims are processed more quickly if we can see the exact nature of the damage or loss. With this in mind, don't take any action to alter the situation without speaking to Coles Insurance first.

Common activities that hinder the claims process include:

• Authorising or carrying out repairs
• Arranging for replacement of property
• Cleaning or removal of fire debris
• Disposal of damaged property

Call the Police

• Theft or attempted theft
• Malicious acts or damage
• Impact by a vehicle
• Civil unrest

Give the police any information they need, and keep a record of the incident or report number.
