In what situation would a policyholder typically need to present proof of an accident?

When policyholders seek reimbursement for transportation expenses following an accident, they typically need to present proof of the accident. This is because insurance companies require verification of the incident that caused the need for transportation expenses. By providing proof, such as an accident report or any documentation showing the circumstances of the accident, the policyholder can substantiate their claim and ensure the insurance provider processes their request accurately.

In other scenarios, such as renewing an insurance policy, registering a vehicle, or selling a damaged vehicle, proof of the specific accident is usually not a requirement. These processes might involve different types of documentation unrelated to the accident itself, which is why they wouldn't necessitate the presentation of accident proof in the same way.
