Heggars,the hire car quandry stems from the fact that the garage who recieve the damaged vehicle should give a coutesy car to me until mine is declared a total loss,at which point the insurer,NFU should give me one.Due to the garage and the insurer not communicating I was not given a car by the garage as thay were not told to,also they are arguing about who declared the total loss and when,the garages engineer,or later the NFU guy,eitherway,my policy entitles me to a car,and I had to go rent one while they both got their **** sorted,THATS what I want to claim back,the cost of their mistake!
HELP!!!!
Also,advice time....Ive got the engineer to go as high as he will for a Disco 96 auto ES with a bar,spots,new floor,years MOT full service history and wood dash,etc,etc,....he hates me now but has come up to £2700 after admitting that there were no equivilents under 3 grand ish nearer than 200 miles.With my £250 excess that gives me £2450 to play with,or he darkly mutters it will go to the claims department "and then he cant help me anymore"...personally I cant see that he's helping me at all given that the insured value is three and a quarter......
.....what should I do?What happens if it goes to the threatened claims department?Am I going to lose everything as he threatens?Come on guys,help me out,I got to make the decision by tomorrow and I've never had to fight it this hard before
