You might be able to claim for the extra car-hire costs from the other insurer under 'un-insured losses'. Worth a go. | |

I read this earlier - have you read all the small print on your insurance cover, or on the agreement that you should have got when they loaned you the car. It might have a certain period of time where the loan of the car is covered by them, then after that time period they start charging you... I don't know why, but this seems to be the sort of thing insurance companys do - I also don't know why companys that are supposedly reputable take so much pride in ripping people off endlessly... | |

If you occur expense as a result of the other persons actions, they you can claim it back as an uninsured loss from their insurers. This is usually done where you claim against your own policy and let your insurance claim it back from theirs, but you hace to pay the excess (usually £150 - £250). You can write to their insurance company requesting re-imbursement of your uninsured losses. It is usual to write 'without liability' across the top of the letter. I'm sure that your hire costs could also be included in such a letter. | |

check what your policy says. Mine says they well provide a courtesy car as long as blame has been proven to the other party (ie they can claim the money back off the other persons insurance) but my mate's policy only povided one for two weeks no matter who was to blame. | |

It'll prolly be in the small print of the policy if they supply one, it tends to only be couple of weeks | |

But this wasn't her fault, and she wasn't told about it being for a limited time. | |

My insurance company only provides the courtesy car free for 1 or 2 weeks (I can't remember), then you have to pay to keep it longer. | |

They're not obligated to provide you with a car but as they have done its bad form to now ask you to pay for a portion of the hire. | |

I dont know if everybody knows this but sum1 hit my car 4 weeks ago and Im claiming 2 get it repaired on her insurance. Was given a courtasy car and told I could have it for free for as long as the repair work was necessary as they knew it wouldnt be as simple as other repair jobs coz it was a modified car. |
