10.1.17 Email Address: HollardInsureRecoveredVehicle@hollard.co.za
There are three ways of being notified of a recovered vehicle and they are as follows:
10.2.1 Notification from an investigating officer (SAPS)
The investigating officer will contact the insured/Hollard/broker about the recovered vehicle.
10.2.2 Notification from an upliftment agent
The upliftment agent will inform Hollard of the recovered vehicle. Hollard will request the upliftment agent to remove the vehicle and take it to the panel beater/salvage contractor. The broker is responsible for the upliftment fee, and must settle the fees as soon as they receive the invoice.
10.2.3 Notification from other sources
Should we be notified from an alternative source of the recovered vehicle we will notify the broker thereof. The same procedure will be followed as in point 10.2.2.
If the vehicle is recovered before settlement (Pre-Settlement Recovery)
10.3.1 Notify the SVR Department at Hollard immediately of the recovered vehicle, unless the notification came from Hollard. Provide a copy of the vehicle registration certificate as required for upliftment purposes.
