Took a 3 year policy for £299 for tyre insurance due to my car having very low profile tyres. Had to claim after a few weeks and they paid out £250 with no issues. 18 months on, just had a screw in a tyre and was advised to take it to Kwik Fit and given a code. They also spotted a bulge in another tyre, 2 replaced at a cost of £582 and they settled direct with Kwik Fit. Very impressed with the service, especially given the new process which made things so easy

HOW
WORKS
IT
Kerbing a wheel or hitting a pothole is a common occurrence and an unexpected expense. With our market-leading combined Tyre and Alloy Wheel Insurance in place, you can now keep your alloy wheels in pristine condition and be safe in the knowledge your damaged tyre will be repaired or replaced at a tyre retailer of your choosing.
Claiming and arranging a repair could not be easier. If it's alloy wheel damage, simply take a few digital images, call our insurer's claims team - and arrangements will be made for a repair to be completed at your home or place of work where possible. For tyre claims, simply call the claims team and they will handle your claim immediately. No excess to pay on either tyre or alloy wheel claims!
Our insurer's approved alloy wheel repairers are 'Revive' and 'Smart Repairs'. More information about Revive can be found at https://revive-uk.com/, and Smart Repairs at https://smartrepairs.co.uk. If for any reason these organisations are unable to carry out a repair, our insurer may allow you to use a local alloy wheel workshop instead.

This company is very easy to do business with. The website is very easy to use and when I had to make a claim a couple of years ago, they handled it very efficiently. Would recommend to anyone.
