Dutch term

Schadegarant

Dutch to English Bus/Financial car insurance
This is from information on a car insurance policy. I realize that this is the organization (?) that monitors garages, etc. but am wondering whether to translate this, or leave it untranslated and explain what it is - Repair Guarantee Organisation? Context in sentence(s):
Indien u uw schade laat repareren bij één van de aangesloten Schadegarantherstelbedrijven wordt het van toepassing zijnde eigen risico met € XXX verlaagd. ...
Het kan goed zijn dat uw eigen vertrouwde dealer is aangesloten bij Schadegarant.

Schadegarant: leave and explain

use Schadegarant-is an official name and explain:

These decisions relate to co-operation between insurance companies involving the
selection and contracting of car repair companies in relation to their motor-vehicle insurance. The
policyholders are encouraged to make use of one of the selected car repair companies for insured repair
work.
17.
The parties in these cases are Topherstel and Schadegarant. Topherstel consists of 9
insurers. Schadegarant consists of 19 insurers. The joint operating agreements between the insurance
companies are regarded as co-operation in procurement. The relevant product markets in these cases are
the market for the procurement of car repair services and the market for motor-vehicle insurance policies.
18.
Since the market share of Topherstel is small on both the relevant markets, it was
concluded that the possible restraint on competition is not appreciable. In the case of Schadegarant, the
same applies on the procurement market for car repair services. The restraint in competition on the market
for motor vehicle insurance is appreciable due to Schadegarant's large market share. Schadegarant,
however, meets the criteria for exemption and an exemption was therefore granted
Peer comment(s):

agree Chris Hopley : The explanation may even be superfluous: the person with the damaged car is only interested to know whether his car repairer is affiliated with Schadegarant or not, so he can get the lower excess. Wat Schadegarant precies is, zal hem worst wezen!

Schadegarant, an Internal Loss Adjuster/Claims Settlers company, . .

The latter part in your text seems to suggest that "Schadegarant" is used as a proper name; the earlier part suggest it is used as a descriptive.

My suggestion above applies if it is also used as a proper name but could also be used on its own as Internal Loss Adjuster/Claims Settler, without the company. Cooperative efforts such as used in the Netherlands, does not appear to be used so much abroad.
