Important message for metropolitan Melbourne customers
If you need to make a car insurance claim, we can arrange to have your damaged car towed from your home, even if it's still safe to drive. This will help you comply with Melbourne metro's stage 4 coronavirus restrictions, which include stay-at-home rules. After assessing, repairing and sanitising your car, we'll return it to your home.
