In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, collisions on the road can be an unfortunate reality. When the unexpected happens, and your vehicle is caught in the midst of an unfortunate accident, it’s essential to know the quick and easy steps to streamline the car hire process. At National Claims, we understand the stress that comes with such situations, and we’re here to guide you through the three follow-up steps after a collision, ensuring a hassle-free hire and repair process.
Step 1: Prioritise Safety and Gather Information
After the initial shock of a collision, safety takes precedence. Ensure that everyone involved is safe, and if necessary, seek medical attention promptly. Once safety is confirmed, gather essential information to streamline the claims process. Exchange details with the other party involved, including names, contact information, insurance details, and vehicle registration numbers.
The National Claims Perspective

Step 2: Report the Collision and Initiate the Claims Process
Reporting the collision promptly is vital for a quick resolution. Contact the local authorities to file a police report, especially if there are injuries or significant damage. Simultaneously, reach out to your insurance provider to report the incident and initiate the claims process. National Claims prides itself on a streamlined reporting system, making this step quick and straightforward.
