  • How can insurance be negotiated?
    • Insurance can be concluded through an extensive network of our contractual partners (new and used car dealers, insurance brokers etc.), usually when purchasing your car.
    • If your car dealer does not offer our insurance, it can be arranged directly with us via phone and/or email.  
  • What information and documents do we need to conclude it?
    • A copy of VTP and a sales contract or invoice.

  • Report of Damage Event:
    When you (insured party or on behalf of the insured) become aware of any damage that could lead to a claim you must report the damage within 7 days of the incident on +36 (1) 800-8030 or by e-mail to karrendezes@defendinsurance.hu.
    In order to register a claim the claims adjuster will need to know the policy number or vehicle VIN code.
  • Inspection of the vehicle:
    In order for us to assess your claim, you must allow us or our qualified repair shop to inspect your vehicle.
    You must transport (or arrange the transport of) the vehicle to a qualified repair shop for inspection as soon as possible but no later than within 5 days of reporting the breakdown. Alternatively, you may be authorised to take your vehicle to any VAT registered repairer.
  • Documentation:
    For the prompt assessment of your claim we will need the following documentation: fault diagnosis, repair budget, completed claim reporting form A, vehicle photographic documentation and a copy of the vehicle registration certificate (part II).
    After the repair was finalised, send us completed form B.

    No repair shall be made to the insured vehicle without our explicit approval. All costs for any work that is commenced or completed prior to our approval shall be borne by the insured and automatically become grounds for rejecting the claim.
