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.

What is the purpose of Scratch and Dent Insurance?

A Scratch and Dent Insurance policy from Bidvest Insurance is not only designed to keep your car in the best condition, but it also protects your no claims bonus and cash back rewards. Minor scratches and dents on your car will often cost less to repair than your excess amount, however, they can still be damaging to your budget.
