Making a claim.

We aim to make claiming on our Rainbow Household Insurance as straightforward as possible.

Here's some useful information to share with your customer to help make sure their claim runs smoothly:

Are they covered?

Before your customer contacts us to make a claim they should check their policy schedule or policy document to ensure that they have the correct cover in place.

Do they need to contact the police?

There are some incidents where your customer will need to have notified the police before they can claim.

These are:

  • Theft, attempted theft or lost property
  • Loss or damage caused by vandalism, riot, civil commotion, strikes or labour disturbances

Do they have all the information they need to make a claim:

It’s useful for your customer to have the following information to hand before they contact us:

  1. Their policy number
  2. The date and time that the loss or damage your customer is claiming for happened
  3. A crime reference number (if applicable to your customer’s claim).
