Do I pay excess if accident is not my fault? – typically yes. Your insurer should recover the money from the insurer of the at-fault driver – eventually, then they will pay it back to you.
Your annual no-claims bonus however – is probably gone. Also your insurer is likely to consider you to be a higher risk to insure, so when your insurance renewal comes round – it will probably have gone up.
We and our partners help thousands of drivers every year by managing their claims independently of their insurers.
Our alternative accident assistance service allows you to get your vehicle repaired, a suitable replacement and legal assistance without paying your excess, losing your no-claims bonus and potentially increasing the future cost of your car insurance.

Why do I have to pay my excess when I am not at fault?
Your insurer does not generally distinguish between a fault or a no-fault accident claim.You are likely to have to pay the excess up-front before your vehicle is repaired, that is usually a requirement of your policy.
In the case of a 'non-fault' claim, they should recover this money from the at-fault drivers insurer but this can take some time.
Do I tell my insurer if I use your service instead?
Yes you must, otherwise you could invalidate your policy. All that is needed is a quick call to tell them about your accident – but for ‘information purposes only’ that way they know not to start a claim on your policy.How is my assistance paid for?
