Hey there, road warriors! We know that dealing with a car insurance claim can be a bit of a bummer, but don't worry, we've got your back. Today, we're going to walk you through the AAMI car insurance claim process in a simple, jargon-free way. Grab a cuppa, and let's dive in!
Before You Start: What You'll Need
Before you kickstart your claim, make sure you have the following handy:
- Your policy number
- Your license plate number
- The date, time, and location of the incident
- Details of the other parties involved (if applicable)
- Photos of the damage and the scene
- A police event number (if the police were involved)
Step 1: Notify AAMI
Alright, guys, the first move is to let AAMI know about the incident. You can do this by:
- Calling them on 13 22 44
- Making a claim online through their website
- Or dropping them an email at claims@aami.com.au
Make sure to have all the info from the 'Before You Start' section ready to speed things up.
Step 2: Gather More Info
Once you've notified AAMI, they'll guide you on what info they need. Usually, this includes:
- A detailed description of what happened
- The contact details of any witnesses
- The other parties' insurance details (if applicable)
Step 3: Get Your Car Repaired
Now it's time to fix that beauty! AAMI will help you find a repairer or you can choose your own. Here's what you need to know:
- Using an AAMI-approved repairer: They'll handle the claim and you won't have to pay any excess.
- Choosing your own repairer: You'll need to pay the excess, but you'll have the final say on who fixes your car.
Step 4: Make a Hire Car Claim (if applicable)
If you need a hire car while your baby's in the shop, AAMI can help with that too. Here's what you need to do:
- Call their claims team on 13 22 44
- Provide them with your policy number and claim number
- Let them know your preferred hire car company (if you have one)
Step 5: Keep Track of Your Claim
AAMI will keep you updated throughout the process, but it's always a good idea to keep an eye on things yourself. You can do this by:
- Logging into your My AAMI account
- Checking your emails (they'll send you updates there too)
- Giving them a call on 13 22 44
What Happens Next?
Once your claim is settled and your car is as good as new, AAMI will close it off. If you have any questions or concerns during the process, don't hesitate to reach out to their friendly claims team. They're always happy to help!
