insurance companies
National Windscreens are proud to be recommended by the majority of leading insurance companies in the UK, thanks to our superior service, quality products and competitive, transparent pricing structure. We have sole supply status with many insurers and are preferred supplier with numerous others.
Formalised direct billing arrangements are in place with over 70 insurers and we remain committed to the continued development of these partnerships. Our primary aim is to ensure that we remain in an ideal position for the control of costs, delivery of excellent service and provision of regular and accurate management information. We are able to offer delegated authority to enable us to provide a full claims handling service.
european coverage
As a founding member of The Automotive Glass Professionals, National Windscreens has a close alliance with automotive glass repair and replacement companies throughout Europe, enabling us to provide seamless European coverage. As such, your customers can telephone our UK call centre from anywhere in Europe, and receive the same high level of service as if they were in the UK, eliminating any language issues.
quik quote
We operate a unique, in-house advanced non-approved supplier management system called Quik Quote. This web based system allows us to effectively control the cost of claims from non-preferred suppliers.
All insurers who appoint National Windscreens as their sole preferred supplier are provided with this service free of charge, offering a substantial reduction in 3rd party invoice management costs. All non-preferred vehicle glass companies are required to register with our Quik Quote system and obtain validation and approved quotation prices for all work. All invoicing and payments are managed by National Windscreens.
