Covea contact: Get in Touch with Covea Insurance

There’s a range of reasons why you might need to contact Covea Insurance: you want to claim on your Covea policy, you want to issue a complaint, or you simply have a few questions for the British insurer. To make the first step in the process a bit easier, we have listed all the Covea contact details so you can find whichever one you need quickly. Read on to find the Covea phone number, email address, postal address or other means of contact that you need.

When do you need to contact Covea?

First things first, Covea Insurance is a bit different to other insurance providers like AXA and Aviva: it does not sell its policies directly to the public. To get a Covea insurance policy, you must buy it through an insurance broker or intermediary company. This means that Covea customers do not have an online account for policy management. It also means that Covea is not directly responsible for managing customers’ policies.

In other words, there is no point contacting Covea if you want to make changes to your policy. To manage it, such as changing the name, address or personal details listed on your policy, you need to contact the broker or intermediary through which you bought the policy.

So what do you need the Covea contact details for? Covea still manages all claims so if you want to claim on your policy, you need to contact Covea, not your broker or intermediary. Customers might also want to contact Covea to place a complaint, and of course everyone is welcome to get in touch with general questions: Covea will try its best to answer.

Let’s break down the Covea contact details for making a claim, general enquiries and placing a complaint.

Make a claim: Covea insurance contact number

To make a claim with Covea Insurance, you need to give them a ring. There are quite a few different Covea contact numbers for claims; the one you need depends on the type of insurance policy you have. For example, the claims number for a personal car insurance policy is different to that of a commercial car insurance policy.

We have listed every single Covea claims number below. All you need to do is find the policy you have and bingo...you have the phone number to ring and make your claim! These claims lines are available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Personal insurance

Personal insurance refers to the policies you take out to protect things you have and use for your own personal use, for example your house or your family car. Let’s have a look at the numbers you need to make a claim.

High net worth policies

Covea offers insurance policies for vehicles and homes that are classed as high value. In the world of insurance, a high value home is one that would cost more than £500,000 to rebuild from scratch. You can also get high-value home insurance if you keep expensive items in your home, such as fine art or highly-priced jewelry. High value cars are typically ‘prestige cars’, like an expensive BMW, Bently or Jaguar.

If you have an insurance policy to cover items such as those explained above, it will be one of Covea’s high net worth policies. Here are the numbers you need to make a claim.

Commercial insurance

Covea offers a large range of commercial insurance policies, including policies for landlords, offices, shops and commercial vehicles. To make a claim on one of these policies, use the relevant number from the table below.

Life and Protection

Covea Insurance has one Life insurance policy. If you want to claim on your Covea Life Protection policy, call 0330 134 8300.

Covea has recently changed all its phone numbers from 084 numbers to 0330 numbers. These 0330 numbers are charged at your operator’s set rate. Some 084 numbers are in the process of transition and are therefore still active. If you have to ring a 084 number, you will be charged 6p per minute plus you operator’s access charge.

Covea car insurance contact number

If you breakdown and need assistance, who you gonna call? With Covea car insurance, you need to call RAC for emergency breakdown recovery services. When you ring, provide the following:

• your policy number
• vehicle details
• your precise location

That way RAC can come and collect you and your vehicle.

Depending on what country you are in when you breakdown, you will have to ring a different number. Be aware that in some countries you will be charged for your call.

Covea insurance contact for general queries

If you have a question for Covea, the best way to get in touch is via the company’s online contact form. Potential customers can use this form to ask general questions about Covea’s policies, and existing customers can use it for queries about their policy, claims or complaints.

If you are interested in taking out a Covea insurance policy, contacting a broker or intermediary might be a more effective way of getting all your questions answered. If you already have a policy with Covea, your broker or intermediary is probably your best point of contact when you have queries about your policy.

When filling out the online form, you will be asked to give an email address. It’s very important that you provide an email address that you actually use and check regularly as this is how Covea will respond to your query.

Try to explain your question as clearly as possible - you can even attach documents if these will help you - but do not include any confidential information, such as bank details. The online form is not a secure platform and other people may be able to access this information.

Did you know? You might be able to have all your questions answered without contacting Covea at all! The company’s FAQs page is a great source of information and is the best place to start when you have queries and questions.

You cannot get a quote for a Covea policy online or via Covea directly. If you are interested in a policy and would like a personal quote, you need to contact an insurance broker or intermediary that supplies Covea policies.
