Before completing your quote, you must ensure that you have any drivers consent to our use and sharing of any personal/sensitive data. We also strongly recommend you read our Terms of Business and our Online Car Insurance Policy Summary.
AXA considers that protecting personal information is very important and we recognise that you have an interest in how we collect, use and share such information.

In the event that our AXA Motor Engineer deems your vehicle a total loss i.e. it is beyond economical repair, our AXA Motor Engineer will base the value of your vehicle on what it was worth prior to the accident.
Our AXA Motor Engineer will research this value by using current Motor Trade publications. These are as follows:-
- 1) Irish Car Sales websites
- 2) Local SIMI (Society Of Irish Motor Industry) Car Sales Dealers
Once we have agreed the value with you, we will take ownership of your vehicle
