💥 Step 1: Check for injuries

  • Your safety comes first. If the accident is serious or someone is hurt, call 112 immediately.

  • Stay at the scene until the police or our team tells you otherwise.


🚧 Step 2: Stay safe

  • If the vehicle is still drivable, move it to a safe spot out of traffic.

  • Place the warning triangle to alert others.


📸 Step 3: Document everything

  • Take clear photos of the damage, vehicles involved, and the accident scene.

  • Fill in the European Accident Statement form together with the other party (if applicable).


📲 Step 4: Let us know

  • Open the app and go to Report Issue > Vehicle Damages.

  • Also call our support team directly so we can assist you right away.


🛠 Step 5: Need a towing?

  • If the car can’t be driven or you need roadside help, call us and we’ll arrange assistance.


📨 Step 6: Send us the documents

  • Within 48 hours, send us:

    • The completed accident form

    • The photos you took

  • Share these via the live chat in the app.


⚠️ Good to know

  • 🔧 You're liable? If you're at fault, you’ll need to cover the repair costs + a €50 admin fee. → Full details are in our Terms & Conditions.

  • 📞 Notify us quickly. The sooner we know, the sooner we can help.

  • Electric vehicle involved? Tell emergency responders that it’s an electric vehicle — this is important for their safety.
