In the Netherlands, the car remains an important possession for most people. It is not only a convenient means of transport, but also something to be proud of. Some people even measure their success in life by the car they drive. Now we think that goes a bit too far, because everyone makes their own choices.

Some people simply don’t care about a car, that doesn’t mean they aren’t successful in life. But for many people, the car is an important possession. Of course, you want it to look good and smile when you walk up to it in the morning. If there is some paint damage to the car, it is important to have it repaired. It not only gives it a fresh look, but it also ensures that the paint damage doesn’t get worse.

Did you do it yourself or did someone else do it because of paint damage?

Of course, it happens that you have overlooked a pole in the city, or accidentally hit something else. All very annoying, that is clear. There are enough ways to damage your car. If you have done this yourself and the damage is not too bad, then you can consider having it done through the insurance. However, this does mean that your no-claim will disappear and you will have to pay more for the insurance per month. People often choose to pay for the relatively small damage that they have caused themselves out of their own pocket. This is usually a lot cheaper in the long term, you must of course have the money to repair the paint damage and not need it for something else.

If you did not cause the paint damage yourself, then it is a different story. You can now recover this from the other party. For example, if this happened in a parking lot while you were not there, then you always hope that the other party left a note behind the windshield. Otherwise it will be very difficult to recover the damage, you simply do not know who it was.
