Determining who's responsible for an accident is assisted by the road rules, and establishing if there's any negligence that's contributed to the accident.

When we review who's responsible for an accident we'll ask for all drivers involved in the accident for their version of the incident.

The decision can also be helped by any diagrams and photos that you or the other drivers may have, any witness statements and the map location of the accident.

By adding lay up cover you may reduce your premium (and the cover we provide) for an agreed time while you're not using your boat.

We cover your boat in the lay up period you choose. You can't use your boat in that time and you must keep it securely on a trailer or dry stored at the address shown on your policy.

We also cover your boat in the lay up period if you're taking your boat for a scheduled service or to be repaired.

If you want to use your boat during the lay up period, we'll only cover it if:

  • You tell us you're going to use it
  • We agree to cover you for that use, and
  • You pay us any additional premium that applies.

The most important information to try to get from the incident is the name and residential address of any drivers or riders involved in the accident. It's also helpful to get their phone number and licence details.

If possible, it also helps to get the make, model and number plate of any vehicles involved, plus the contact details of anyone who witnessed the accident.

For comprehensive policies, if you can provide the name and residential address of the other driver or rider who is fully at-fault, you won’t have to pay the excess. It also means we can deal directly with all the people involved on your behalf.
