Insurance and ADAS: Who Pays for Calibration?

Did you know that insurance companies cover ADAS calibration as part of an accident repair?

When your vehicle is repaired after a collision, it’s not just about replacing panels and paintwork. Modern cars are equipped with a network of cameras, radars, and ultrasonic sensors. If these aren’t calibrated, your car may not meet road safety standards.

That’s why insurers recognise calibration as a necessary repair step — just like replacing an airbag or performing a wheel alignment.

Here’s how it works:

  • After your car is repaired, a calibration scan is completed.
  • If recalibration is required, Safe Drive Group performs the procedure with dealership-level equipment.
  • The report is then supplied to the insurer as proof the vehicle is safe to return to the road.

Without this step, insurers can’t guarantee the vehicle is roadworthy — and neither can the repairer.

So next time you’re involved in an accident repair, remember: calibration isn’t an optional extra, it’s part of your insurance claim.

At Safe Drive Group, we work directly with insurers to ensure your car leaves fully compliant, fully safe, and fully covered.
