Make a home insurance claim with RSA

Start your claim here.

Important:

Urgent claims cannot be made online. You will need to call asap. Lines are open 24/7.

Before you start your claim

Look at our terms and conditions (PDF, 4.3MB) and check your policy to make sure you’re covered and see your excess. Your excess is the amount you’ll be asked to pay towards your claim.

If your claim relates to an act of vandalism or theft, we’d recommend reporting it to the police first. You can then give us the crime reference number, if you’re given one.

Have your policy number ready and anything that could help with your claim such as dates, times, crime reference number, and photos.

Make non-urgent claims online

You can claim online if you have:

  • Buildings and contents insurance combined
  • Buildings insurance only
  • Contents insurance only.

Information:

You need an email address to start your claim online. If you don’t have one, call us on 0800 145 60 60.

Our online claims system is a separate account to the one you use to manage your policy. So, you won't be able to sign in using the same details.

If this is your first time making a claim, select 'Register now' on the next screen to create a claims account.
