Tyre and Alloy Wheel Insurance Frequently Asked Questions

 

What happens when you claim a tyre?

If possible, contact the claims team. They may ask for images or a report from your chosen tyre specialist. In most cases, you must pay for the repair or replacement and then send the invoice for reimbursement.

 

What happens when you make an alloy wheel claim?

Contact the claims team; they may ask for images to determine if your alloy wheel is repairable in situ or needs more in-depth repair. To keep our repairers safe, they will require somewhere off-road to be able to work.

If your alloy wheel requires more in-depth repair with the claim team's authorisation, you can nominate your local repairer to drive in, repair the wheel, and drive out. As it is impossible to have an account with every tyre specialist in the UK, this is done on a pay-for-claim basis. (i.e. you pay for the alloy wheel repair, then send the invoice in for a refund) 

 

Does Gap Insurance cover damage repair or replacement of your tyre and alloy wheels?

No Gap Insurance only covers you if your car is written off ( damaged beyond economic repair or stolen and not recovered).

 

What damage would not be covered with a complete wheel alloy wheel and tyre insurance policy?

  • Any damage that happened before your policy was in place.
  • Any claim caused by malicious damage and you did not report it to the police and are therefore unable to provide a crime reference number.
  • If your wheels are stolen.
  • We can not cover any consequential costs you incur because you can not use your car.

Please see our policy documents above for a complete list of terms and conditions.

 

Will you cover me if my tyres are bald?

No, we do not cover wear and tear, and when you come to make a claim, you must have a minimum of 2mm of tyre depth.

 

Do you have a tyre wear and tear deduction?

No, as long as your claim is valid, we will pay the full cost up to your chosen amount. i.e £350 or £150 oer claim.

 

Does my Gap insurance cover my alloy wheels and tyres?

No, your gap insurance policy will cover you if your vehicle is written off. It will not cover accidental or malicious damages to your alloy wheels and tyres.

 

Is Tyre and Alloy Wheel Insurance only for new cars?

No, we can cover cars up to 5 years of age with up to 50,000 miles on the clock.

 

Is there a mileage restriction?

No, if your car has no more than 50,000 miles on the clock when you buy your policy, how many miles you do after that is up to you.

 

Will you be covered if the tyre damage is your fault?

Yes, as long as the damage was not caused deliberately ( for example, you slash your own tyres ), your tyre and alloy wheel insurance policy will still cover you.

 

Can you buy tyre and alloy wheel insurance if you bought your car using a form of finance, such as personal contract hire ( PCP ) or Hire Purchase?

Yes, how you have paid for your car makes no difference to your policy.

 

Can I cancel my Complete Wheel insurance policy?

  • What is the maximum you want to claim per Tyre? ( run-flat tyres are preset at a maximum of £350 per replacement tyre)

 

Will my policy cover me if my wheels are stolen?

No, this policy would not cover you if your wheels are stolen; you would have to claim on your motor insurance policy.

 

Will my Tyre and alloy wheel policy pay for a new alloy wheel?

No, our policy is a cosmetic repair. For example, if the wheel was buckled, it would be scrapped, and as a token of goodwill, your policy would pay you £150. We know that this will not pay for a new wheel; instead, it is a goodwill gesture to say sorry we can not cover you.

 

Will my policy cover me if I am involved in a road traffic accident?

No, you would need to claim on your motor insurance policy.

 

Will my Complete Wheel Insurance cover other drivers?

Whose name should I register my Complete Wheel policy?

The main policyholder should be the registered owner of the car or, in the event you are sourcing your car using a form of contract or ease hire, the name of the person who has signed the finance agreement.

 

Can I transfer my Tyre and Alloy Wheel insurance if I change my car?

Yes, you can make one free-of-charge transfer providing the vehicle we are transferring cover for is eligible. Any subsequent transfers are charged at £35.00 each.
