Can Full Vehicle Repainting Be Claimed on Insurance?
1 Answers
Full vehicle repainting can be claimed on insurance. There are three ways to claim full vehicle repainting through insurance as follows: 1. Purchase scratch insurance: If the car has scratches, you can directly file a claim with the insurance company. Up to six panels can be covered, excluding the roof. 2. Without scratch insurance: It is not easy to claim full vehicle repainting for an accident-damaged car because full repainting is expensive, the fixed cost is relatively high, and the assessed damage will also be higher. The car must be severely damaged to claim for repainting. Generally, insurance companies will not cover the full cost and will only compensate for the damaged paint surfaces. Additionally, car owners should note that they cannot use fraudulent means to claim full vehicle repainting. Full repainting is suitable only if the car body is severely damaged with significant dents or scratches. The original paint on the car body is usually of good quality, and replacing it with new paint may not necessarily be better—it depends on maintenance.
