First class claims service
If you need to make a claim, the value of our expertise really comes into its own. You won’t be left alone to deal directly with the insurers. You’ll deal with our in-house claims team and be allocated your own dedicated claims manager.
Thanks to our knowledge of the policy, the insurers and their claims processes, we’ll tell you exactly what you need to do at each stage to keep your claim progressing. We’ll also ensure that any repairs are carried out using manufacturer-approved parts to help protect the resale value of your vehicle.
Should you need a courtesy car while your claim is resolved, most of our Ferrari policies provide an enhanced courtesy car. This means we can provide a courtesy car that more closely matches the quality of your own car, than you might expect on a standard motor insurance policy.
