Posted on October 10, 2023

If you’ve been involved in a car accident or your vehicle has been damaged, it can be a stressful and confusing time. However, making an insurance claim with KennCo Insurance in Ireland doesn’t have to be complicated. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the steps you need to take to make a successful insurance claim with KennCo Insurance.

Step 1: Report the incident to the Gardaí 

The first step in making an insurance claim is to report the incident to the Gardaí. You must do this for several reasons. Firstly, it’s a legal requirement to report any accident that results in injury or death. Secondly, a Garda report can be used as evidence in your insurance claim.

Step 2: Notify KennCo Insurance

Notify KennCo

The first step in making an insurance claim is to report the incident to the Gardaí. This is a legal requirement and can also be used as evidence in your insurance claim.

Once you’ve reported the incident to the Gardaí, the next step is to notify KennCo Insurance. You can do this by calling their claims line on 014092600 or by filling out an online claim form on their website. When you notify KennCo Insurance, you’ll need to provide them with details of the incident, including the date, time, location of the accident, and the registration number of the other vehicle involved. You’ll also need to provide your policy number and contact details.

Step 3: Provide evidence

When you notify KennCo Insurance of your claim, they’ll ask you to provide evidence of the incident. This may include:

  • A copy of the Garda report
  • Photos of the damage to your vehicle
  • Receipts for any expenses you’ve incurred as a result of the incident, such as the cost of a rental car or repairs to your vehicle

Step 4: Assess the damage

Once KennCo Insurance has received your claim and the necessary evidence, they’ll assess the damage to your vehicle.

Once KennCo Insurance has received your claim and the necessary evidence, they’ll assess the damage to your vehicle. They may ask you to take your vehicle to one of their KennCo-approved repairers for an assessment.

Step 5: Agree on a Settlement

Once the damage to your vehicle has been assessed, KennCo Insurance will make you an offer for the cost of repairs. If you’re happy with the offer, you can agree on a settlement, and the repairs to your vehicle can begin. If you’re unsatisfied with the offer, you can try to reach a mutually acceptable settlement.

Step 6: Repairs

Once a settlement has been agreed upon, the repairs to your vehicle can start. KennCo Insurance may require you to take your vehicle to one of their approved repairers. If your vehicle is a write-off, they’ll make you an offer to settle the claim, and you can then buy a new vehicle.
