Inspection of insured vehicle VINFOTO

During the inspection we check:

  • Vehicle exterior
  • Vehicle interior
  • Identification marks
  • Glass markings
  • Traces of vehicle damage

About the service

The VINFOTO inspection of the insured vehicle serves to document the actual condition of the vehicle when the insurance policy is taken out. Thanks to this photographic documentation, the insurance company has an accurate and truthful record of the vehicle's condition for the purpose of settling insurance claims.

The VINFOTO inspection is mandatory for the clients of some insurance companies. Insurance coverage goes into full effect only once the inspection has been performed!

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does the inspection take?

It takes approximately 25 minutes to take and process the photo documentation of the vehicle. If a vehicle window marking is also ordered, it will take 45 to 60 minutes.

 

Can the inspection be done elsewhere than at an authorized location?

Yes it can, Cebia can perform photo documentation directly at the client's site. However, the client is responsible for the costs associated with the worker's travel.

What happens if the inspection is not carried out in due time?

There may be a breach of the insurance contract and the vehicle is unlikely to be insured in full or at all. Please refer to the insurance policy for full details or contact your insurer.

What are the benefits of the inspection for the client?

In case of any dispute about the identification of the vehicle or during the settlement of an insurance claim, photographs of the vehicle are available to confirm the authenticity or interference with the vehicle identifiers.
