Cover for the repair of minor damage (“scratches and dents”) to cars
SMART Insurance or Scratches and Dents Insurance – sometimes referred to as “Scratch & Dent” cover – provides cover for the cost of repairing minor panel damage (scratches and dents) on the insured vehicle.
Important Notice
This product is available to insurance brokers and intermediaries only.
In the event that the insured vehicle sustains sudden and unforeseen damage to its bodywork, including wing mirrors and bumpers, which falls within a 30cm diameter and can be repaired using SMART repair techniques (see below), the policy will cover the cost of the repairs up to the agreed limit.
A SMART repair is one where a technician can complete a repair within one hour using small medium area repair techniques and will be to industry standards.
Insured events covered
Sudden and unforeseen damage to the bodywork of the insured vehicle, which falls within a 30cm diameter and can be repaired using SMART repair techniques.
In the event that a claim meets the terms and conditions of cover, but is not repairable using SMART repair techniques, the policy will provide contribution toward the cost of repairs, provided the bodyshop repair is not the subject of a motor insurance claim.
Limits of indemnity
We can provide cover to a maximum of £1,000 per claim and £3,000 in the aggregate.
