Car insurance - can I claim back admin costs

Hi,
I had a car accident about a month ago now. No one hurt and I was not to blame. They went into me (I avoided hitting the car in front )
My car has been written off and I am getting the value of it from the other insurance .
I have a courtesy car and this was prompt etc.
I am still out of pocket though eg admin costs of changing my policy (new car ), retaining my number plate (personalised)
Can these be claimed for and how?

TIA

Yes, you can claim for all uninsured expenses (ie anything not trimming your own insurer) - your excess, admin fees, travel costs while your car was repaired etc. if you have details of the third parties insurer/claim number etc, just let them know with evidence of what you’ve had to pay out.

their requirement is to put you into the same financial position as if the accident had never happened
