This proposal contains a maximum calculated compensation without going into detail.

    Borderline case

  • My vehicle has been declared a borderline case. What happens next?

  • May I continue to use my vehicle during the bid period?

    Your vehicle is best stored at your chosen garage, so that buyers can view the vehicle. If a technical inspection is indicated for damage that jeopardises the safety of your vehicle, your vehicle may no longer be used in traffic.

    Trial bid periods have a standard duration of 7 days. The bids from the closed circuit are available to us the following day.

    Total loss

  • My vehicle has been declared a total economic loss. What happens next?

  • I received a power of attorney for surrendering my vehicle.
