What is Scratch and Dent Insurance?
No matter how carefully you drive and how well you care for your vehicle, mishaps happen. Like scratches from a hanging tree branch or a tear in your leather seats, from a road trip with the dog. Rely on Auto & General Scratch & Dent Cover and we’ll keep your vehicle in immaculate condition by repairing any chips, minor dents, light scratches and tears without claiming from your short-term vehicle insurance policy. We have 2 plans available to suit your needs.
Scratch & Dent Cover
You want to keep your vehicle in pristine condition on the outside. This plan provides cover for the repair of chips, minor dents and light scratches on the outside of your vehicle.

It ensures that all aspects of your vehicle licence renewal are taken care of – from reminding you and ensuring you complete the necessary forms, through to delivering the renewed licence disc to your door.
