Does a Scratch and Dent Insurance claim affect your no claims bonus and cash back rewards?

Claiming on your Scratch and Dent Insurance policy with Bidvest Insurance will not affect your no claims bonus and cash back rewards. A Scratch and Dent Insurance policy is completely separate from your Comprehensive Car Insurance policy.

A Scratch and Dent Insurance policy covers those minor damages that you are not likely to claim for through your Comprehensive Insurance. The repair cost is within your excess, or claiming through your Comprehensive Insurance may affect your no claim bonus.
