IDAC centres for assistance to download the photographs.

12. You should report and bring your accident vehicle (regardless of the extent of damage) to our approved reporting
centres/authorised workshops within 24 hours or by the next working day. If you do not comply with this requirement, you
may lose your No Claims Discount (NCD) (all or part) during your policy renewal and your rights to claim under the policy
may also be affected. More details of the Motor Claims Framework can be found on www.gia.org.sg.

for repairs to us. You need to decide if you are claiming for your own damage repair and the claim need to be submitted
within 14 days of occurrence or discovery of damage.

14. If you are making a third party claim at our authorised workshops, an estimate will be prepared and the third party
insurer will be invited to survey your vehicle within 2 working days (from date of accident). If you are using your own
workshop, please ensure that you contact the third party insurer for the pre-repair survey before commencing repairs. This
will ensure that your claim may not be prejudiced.
