As a result of the Coronavirus, many businesses have been forced to close their doors and continue working remotely. Many can expect their car insurance companies to be doing the same.

Instead, it can be done in the following ways:
- Calling the insurance company to speak with a representative
- Online
- Mobile app
It is important to anticipate some delays in the process during this time. This is because, just like people at home, businesses are working to adjust to this unprecedented situation as well. This means that other companies, such as body shops, can be closed as well.
