im not being funny, but if it were me in that situation i would ring them back and go apesh*t. I would tell them that it was their customers fault and that you are atleast entitled to be put under no incovenience and this means that you should be provided with a vehicle to travel to and from work in regardless of cost. This is the least that they can do, as in no way were you to blame.

I have to say I would insist that they provide you with some kind of replacement car, or threaten them that you will hire a car and bill them for the cost.

Good luck, and Im glad that the dozey b1tch admitted guilt.

who u insured with ???

im with direct line and i know i DONT get a loan car as standard..

however your insurers should be able to point u in the direction of a car hire company and bill the other party....

unfortunately, all my claims in recent years have only involved me and therefore my money

oh when i did get hire cars i had (due to my age)

a cinquentoirnrnwoo (fiat)

and i had a clio 1.4 something or other... that was my first clio....sigh...

I was given a hire car when some old geezer hit my car (i was only 17 at the time)

Its a strange world when an insurance companys credited garage cant get a customer insured for a car they are borrowing!

Does your insurance company cover you for a hire car in the case of your car being off the road due to an accident? If so, does it stipulate that you have to be a certain age or that you have to have been driving for a certain length of time?

Have a closer read of what you are actually covered for. Normally you would be given a courtesy car by the garage appointed to carry out the repair or check whether or not you are able to hire a car with the other persons insurer picking up the bill.

Dont be fobbed off, just read through your insurance details very thoroughly.

Good Luck!

the womans company said no not been driving long nuff and my insurance CIS said no aswell as its a minimum of 6 months.



im soo pissed right now i really need a car for work and im not prepared todive mine just incase where she hit the wheel somthing is wrong.

call the garage back and say you will be sueing for loss of earnings and/or inconvenience if they dont give you a hire car, and to inform there client of that

it might state you cant have one, but fact is you could get one yourself and claim it back, and it would be cheaper for them to simply lend you there car, than sortin out payin another company

 

[DTWD]

If they tell you to go hire one. Hire a McLaren F1 or other similar super sports car. Then charge em for that!
