The free accident app every driver should have on their phone

We love an app for booking a Pilates class, securing a last-minute dinner reservation or finding our way to a new must-try matcha spot. But the apps we’re most grateful to have aren’t always the ones we use every day. Sometimes, they’re the ones that sit in the background until we really need them.

The new Star Insure Accident App, from New Zealand-owned and operated insurer Star Insure, is the kind of app you hope never to need — until the day you’re very glad it’s there. It’s made for those moments when you’re standing beside a damaged car, heart racing and wondering what to do next.

From a minor bump or scrape in the car park to a more serious collision, knowing what to do in the aftermath isn’t always straightforward. The Star Insure Accident App takes you through it step by step, helping you photograph the damage, record key information and keep everything you need in one place, without the added stress.

Once you’ve recorded everything, the app pulls it all into a PDF report that you can send directly to your insurer — one less thing to think about when you’re already dealing with enough.

And unlike most things that promise to make life easier, this one won't cost you anything. The Star Insure Accident App is free to download, and you don't need to be a Star Insure customer to use it.

Download the Star Insure Accident App for free on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
