How to Make a Claim

Making a Key Insurance Claim when in the UK

Contact your nearest authorised Audi Approved Centre or Audi Approved Authorised Repairer and let them know your insured vehicle is protected by Audi Key Insurance. The Audi Approved Centre or Audi Approved Authorised Repairer will contact us on your behalf.

If a key to your insured vehicle has been stolen the incident must be reported to the police as soon as possible (within 24 hours from discovery), and a police crime report number obtained.

It is your responsibility to authorise any dismantling of the insured vehicle or any other work required to diagnose any faults with the insured vehicle.

We will not pay for any diagnostic costs.

If you are VAT registered you remain responsible for settling the VAT content of any claim separately.

Audi Approved Warranty Administration Services reserve the right to examine the insured vehicle and to subject it to expert assessment in order to determine if your claim is covered and how much we will pay for repairs. If you or anyone acting on your behalf acts in a way which prevents us from being able to determine the cause of failure by inspecting the insured vehicle for defective components, then we will not pay all or any part of your claim.
