my insurance company own a further company that owns a car hire firm and a national chain of body shops


guess who they approve for the work and guess who offers you a courtesy car?

small dent in rear wheel arch

£1000
car hire for the week £180 a day

who pays? The other fella's insurance company.....but at what cost to the rest of us..

insurance goes up insurers get rich

bodyshops that are not owned by insurance companies go bust

err monopolies and mergers where are you?

I agree

its a massive con job endorsed by the govt

did you know that all those insurers on things like confused.com pay to be in the list.
and every bloody one of them has a specific product designed purely for confused.com or money supermarket.com

and they appear in the list as a number of different companies under different names each time, which more or less guarantees money in their pocket. i.e the product at the bottom of the list is the one they have guided you to by the astronomical quotes further up, and its still more expensive for you than phoning up and asking...and it costs them less, its an automated web sale, available 24/7 no staffing of call Centre required.

If i ever win the lottery (not likely as I'm not allowed to play) I'm not buying insurance any more.

lump sum in a trust, ear marked to cover my driving excesses

seemingly perfectly legal if done correctly..........

but try explaining that to the traffic cops when you have just squashed a moped.

yes, we're just doing it to try and keep the contracts we've got, we have got quite a few big ones so best do as they say like.

yes i am ata trained and so are a few others, but they didn't really tell us much more we didn't know.

and yes the female consultant we have is making alot of money out of us, but she has a very nice bum so i don't mind how much she comes down :D
