What should I put as the date of the incident on my online claim report if my car was stolen or if someone hit my car when I wasn’t there?

Not sure what to put as your date of the incident when you’re submitting an online car insurance claim report for these situations? Depending on the scenario, here’s what to do:

My car was stolen.

The date of loss should match the date you reported the vehicle stolen to the police. In other words, it should be the date you discovered the vehicle was missing.

Someone hit my car when I wasn’t there.

The date of loss should match the date you reported the incident to the police. In other words, it should be the date you discovered the damage.
