Why choose Rias car insurance?

24/7 claims service team
Uninsured driver promise
Lifetime guarantee on repairs

Rias offers you extras that not all other insurers provide. For instance, its uninsured driver promise means that if your car is hit by an uninsured driver your excess will be reimbursed and your no-claims bonus will be reinstated.

A courtesy car is included as standard on all comprehensive Rias car insurance policies whilst your car is being repaired by one of its approved repairers.

Rias also offer wrong fuel cover if you put diesel in your petrol engine or vice versa. Rias will pay to drain and flush your fuel tank as well as cover any damage to your engine as a result of putting the wrong fuel in at the pump.

There’s a lifetime guarantee if you make a claim and choose one of Rias’ approved repairers. All workmanship comes with a guarantee for as long as you own the car.

Onward travel cover is available if you are in an accident and your car can’t be driven. Rias will arrange transport for you and your passengers to get home or to your planned UK destination.

Whatever car insurance claims you make will be dealt with by Rias Insurance’s 24/7 UK-based claims service team.

Who is Rias?

Rias insurance was launched in 1992. Their head office and call centres are based in Bournemouth, Dorset, and the company currently employs over 900 people. In addition to car insurance, Rias offers home and travel insurance.

Since then, Rias have established themselves as a specialist provider of car insurance for the over 50s. Rias believe drivers over 50 are more experienced and should pay less to insure their car.

They’re also open to new ideas to help you if you are an older driver. Back in 2017, Rias partnered up with Specsavers to give customers access to free eye tests and discounted glasses.

Having paid out millions in claims for motor accidents resulting in serious injury or fatalities - with many of the large losses coming from drivers over the age of 75 - Rias decided to call on customers to keep themselves and other road users safe by getting them to check that their eyesight made them legal and safe behind the wheel.

Since introducing a new eyesight question as part of the quote process and partnering up with Specsavers in 2017, thousands of customers have benefited from free eye tests.

In recognition of Rias’ safer driving initiative, Insurance Times awarded Rias the 2018 Bronze Award in its’ Customer Champion of the Year category.
