You’re cruising to brunch, or out for a Sunday drive in the classic car, when it happens – a scrape or a bump that you just didn’t see coming. One minute you’re enjoying the drive, the next you’re standing on the roadside, adrenaline spiking, trying to work out what you’re even supposed to do next. Even a minor prang is enough to derail you – possibly for the rest of the day! – and in that flustered moment, the last thing anyone wants is to dredge up a mental checklist of what evidence to collect, what photos to take, or which details actually matter.
It’s a scenario specialist motor insurer Star Insure of course knows well. And so, the company has built a fix for exactly that moment – the Star Insure Accident App. The free tool has been designed to talk you through the aftermath of a crash step by step so that you’re not fumbling for a pen or scrolling through your phone’s notes app trying to remember what you’re meant to be writing down.
Open it roadside and it walks you through what to do, what to record, and who to call. Through the app, you can:
- Capture the scene. Photograph the damage and surrounding area straight into the app, rather than juggling your camera roll.
- Log the details. Record the other party’s information, vehicle details and any witness statements in one secure place.
- Generate a report. The app compiles everything into a single, tidy PDF, ready to email straight to your insurer – as easy as that!
There’s no catch, and no fine print requiring loyalty. You don’t even need to be a Star Insure customer to use it for it’s free for any New Zealand motorist regardless of who they’re insured with. It’s a rare thing – a piece of insurance-industry tech built less around selling a policy and more around making a genuinely bad moment slightly easier to get through.
So download it now, just in case…
The Star Insure Accident App is available now to download for free on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
