How it works

From crash to car in three simple steps

Your own insurer would give you a tiny courtesy car and charge your excess. We do it properly — and the at-fault insurer pays.

1

Call us before your insurer

Tell us what happened. We confirm it's non-fault, assign you one dedicated handler — a real person you can reach in minutes — and open your claim straight away.

2

Get a like-for-like car

Drive a BMW? You get a BMW — often delivered the same day. Your car is recovered and stored securely while repairs are arranged.

3

The at-fault insurer pays

Hire, recovery, storage and repairs are claimed from the other side. You pay no excess and your no-claims bonus stays intact.

Why BKN Claims

Your first call decides everything

Ring your own insurer after a non-fault accident and they'll usually open a claim on your policy — even though you did nothing wrong.

Through your own insurer

Your policy takes the hit
  • Excess comes out of your pocket
  • No-claims bonus put at risk
  • Premium likely to rise at renewal
  • Small courtesy car, if any
  • You chase the updates

The at-fault insurer pays
  • No excess — you're not claiming on your policy
  • No-claims bonus untouched
  • Like-for-like replacement vehicle
  • One dedicated handler, start to finish

PCO & private hire drivers

Crashed in your PCO car? Every day off the road is fares lost.

A courtesy car is useless to you — you need a vehicle that’s licensed to work. Through our specialist partners we supply fully licensed PHV replacements: plated, insured for hire & reward, and ready to go — often the same day. You keep taking jobs while we repair your car or settle your claim.

  • Licensed PHV replacement — plated and hire & reward insured
  • Vehicles that meet operator requirements, ready to work
  • Same-day delivery where possible
  • Lost earnings and out-of-pocket costs pursued from the at-fault insurer

FAQs

Questions? Straight answers.

Does this really cost me nothing?

If the accident wasn't your fault, the costs of your replacement vehicle, recovery, storage and repairs are claimed from the at-fault driver's insurer. You don't pay an excess, and your no-claims bonus is protected because you're not claiming on your own policy.

Why not just go through my own insurer?

You can — but you'll usually pay your excess, risk your no-claims bonus, and get a small courtesy car rather than a like-for-like replacement. Going through us keeps the claim where it belongs: with the at-fault insurer.

What counts as a non-fault accident?

Typically: being hit from behind, hit while parked, or hit by someone pulling out on you — any collision where the other driver is clearly to blame. Not sure? Call us and we'll tell you honestly in two minutes.

What kind of replacement car do I get?

Like-for-like. If you drive a 3 Series, you won't be put in a city runabout. We supply prestige vehicles, vans and taxis through our specialist hire partners.

My car's been written off — what are my options?

Accept the insurer's settlement, or use our buy-back option: we top the settlement up to your car's full pre-accident value and take the damaged vehicle off your hands.

My car still drives — can I still claim?

Yes. Even if your vehicle is roadworthy, you're entitled to have the damage repaired and your costs covered by the at-fault insurer. We'll arrange the repair around you, with a replacement vehicle while yours is in the bodyshop.

Will my premium go up?

Because the claim is made against the at-fault driver's insurer rather than your own policy, you don't pay an excess and your no-claims bonus isn't touched. You should still tell your insurer the accident happened — we'll explain exactly what to say so it's logged as non-fault, for information only.

Beacon, the BKN Claims mascot
Beacon’s tip: Use the exact words “information only, non-fault” when you ring your insurer — it keeps your record straight at renewal.
What should I have ready when I call?

As much as you can of: the other driver's registration, name and insurer, photos of the scene and damage, the time and location, and any witness details. Missing some of it? Call anyway and we'll work with what you have.

I was injured in the accident — can you help with that too?

We don’t handle personal injury claims ourselves — that’s specialist legal work and it’s regulated separately. But you won’t be left to figure it out alone: we work alongside an independent firm of solicitors and can put you in touch with them directly, free and with no obligation, while we handle everything to do with your vehicle. We receive no payment for the introduction — it’s simply part of sorting the whole problem.
