WHAT WE DO

At Pothole Protect, we understand the challenges motorists face when dealing with damage caused by potholes.

With the rise in pothole-related incidents, many drivers find themselves navigating the frustrating and costly process of making a claim on their core motor insurance policy. Often, these claims result in the loss of valuable no claims bonuses and higher premiums, leaving drivers feeling unfairly penalised.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a reliable solution to this growing issue. The Pothole Protect insurance policy was specifically developed to address the increase in fault claims related to pothole damage. We recognise that many drivers are unsure where to turn when their vehicle suffers significant damage from potholes. Adding to the frustration, local councils reject 79% of claims, leaving many motorists in a difficult position.

With Pothole Protect, you can safeguard yourself from the financial impact of pothole damage without affecting your core motor insurance policy or losing your no claims bonus. Our dedicated coverage is designed to offer peace of mind and a straightforward solution for those unexpected bumps in the road.

Quick and Easy Claims

Hassle-free claims process specifically for pothole damage.

Brokers

Offering Pothole Protect to your clients provides a valuable way to enhance your core motor insurance product while supporting better customer satisfaction and retention. This specialised insurance add-on covers the cost of repairing vehicles damaged by potholes, reducing the need for clients to make fault claims on their primary motor insurance. By directing pothole-related claims to Pothole Protect, brokers can help clients preserve their no claims bonus and avoid increased premiums. This, in turn, helps manage and potentially lower loss and claims ratios on core motor policies, benefiting both brokers and their customers.
