‘Crash for cash' fraud is on the rise

20 July 2026

‘Crash for cash' fraud is on the rise - and credit hire remains one of the trickiest topics to navigate with customers.

Our multi-award-winning Fraud team are tackling this head on. Our proactive approach recently contributed to a landmark High Court ruling — serving as a significant deterrent against exaggerated and unmeritorious credit hire claims.

We've put together a range of resources to help brokers:

  • Spot and prevent staged accident fraud
  • Understand credit hire and how we manage costs
  • See how early reporting makes all the difference

The sooner a motor incident is reported, the sooner we can intervene — helping to avoid inflated credit hire costs and keep claims on track.
