If you don't know a repairer, we can recommend one of our selected repairers based on a location that is most convenient to you.

  You may choose any licensed repairer to repair your Vehicle. However we may invite, accept, adjust or decline estimates or arrange to move your Vehicle to another repairer acceptable to both you and us.

• Q: Do genuine Ford parts make a difference?

  Genuine Ford parts have been made or selected by Ford and rigorously tested as an integral component of the vehicle to meet high quality, safety and performance standards. This ensures that your Ford will drive, function and protect you the way it was intended.

  They also provide a precise fit because they are manufactured to the same specifications as those of new vehicles. This ensures that body lines, contours and gaps are the same as when your vehicle was originally manufactured.

• Q: What does New for Old Replacement mean?

  Where your Vehicle is a Total Loss, and we have agreed to pay your claim we will replace your Vehicle with a new vehicle of the same make model or series so long as it is available in Australia, and your Vehicle is less than 36 months old from when it was first registered¹.

  Refer to "3.3 New Vehicle Replacement" in the PDS for full details.

• Q: What does New Genuine Parts mean?

  New Genuine Parts mean authentic new parts obtained through the authorised Ford Australia supply chain, so you can be assured that the parts fitted were designed and tested to Ford’s rigorous standards and will therefore perform as intended under collision conditions. Ford Insure uses New Genuine Parts for the life of your policy, regardless of the age of your vehicle, providing parts are still available for that model year.

  If we accept a claim but are unable to fix a damaged part, where available in Australia at time of repair, we will use a new genuine manufacturer part.
