Independent UK Accident Management
Thinking of Making a Claim with Quote Me Happy?
Underwritten within the Aviva group.
Not every Quote Me Happy claim needs to go through Quote Me Happy first. VIP Claims is an independent accident management company that can manage the process on your behalf so you can keep driving while we deal with the claim.
Quote Me Happy is Aviva's online-only budget brand — no phone support at purchase, and a stripped-back service. That efficiency comes at a price when things go wrong: it can be harder to reach a human, and the base cover is thinner than mainstream Aviva.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I claim directly with Quote Me Happy?+
Yes. You can call Quote Me Happy on the number listed in your policy documents to open a claim on your own policy. Please check your policy documents for the latest claims-line hours. It's worth understanding your options first — if the accident wasn't your fault, claiming through your own insurer isn't your only route.
Can I use VIP Claims instead of Quote Me Happy?+
If your accident wasn't your fault and you're eligible, yes. VIP Claims is an independent UK accident management company. We can manage the process on your behalf and pursue costs from the at-fault insurer, so your own policy with Quote Me Happy isn't necessarily affected.
Do I have to use Quote Me Happy's approved repairer?+
Not always. In a non-fault claim you often have the right to choose your own reputable repairer. Using an accident management company like VIP Claims can help preserve that choice and access vetted UK bodyshops.
Can I get a replacement vehicle?+
A basic courtesy car may be offered when you use Quote Me Happy's approved repairer. In a non-fault claim you may be entitled to a like-for-like replacement vehicle at the at-fault insurer's cost — VIP Claims can arrange this where you're eligible.
What happens if the accident wasn't my fault?+
You're not obliged to claim on your own policy with Quote Me Happy. You can claim against the at-fault driver's insurer directly, or use an independent accident management company like VIP Claims to manage the process on your behalf where you're eligible.
How long could the claims process take?+
Straightforward repairs on a clearly non-fault claim can be arranged within days. More complex claims — disputed liability, total losses, personal injury — can take weeks or months. VIP Claims aims to keep the process moving with a single named handler.
Can I choose who manages my claim?+
Yes. You're free to choose how to handle a non-fault accident: through your own insurer, direct with the at-fault insurer, or through an independent accident management company like VIP Claims. This page exists to help you make that choice with clear information.
Is VIP Claims part of Quote Me Happy?+
No. VIP Claims Ltd is completely independent. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with Quote Me Happy. We're an accident management company offering an alternative route for eligible non-fault claims.
