Shock horror

[Skweeky]

The insurance has decided on the car;

We're getting the money for the car (cheque arrived this morning), we get to keep the actual car and the premiums are staying the same for the next year:blink:

Apparently it's called 'cash-in-lieu'.

I am absolutely stunned. Insurance that pays out when it needs to...

That, and those floods in the States... I reckon the end of the world may be actually be nigh :fear:

Congratulations.

About two months ago my mother's car was tailended by a truck.
Basically wiped out everything from the rear glass back.
I thought they would total the car for sure but it fell just below the "write-off" figure, so they went ahead and repaired it.

I was skeptical, to say the least.

I checked in several times during the repair though and it's amazing how perfectly they were able to rebuild the car.

During this time the insurance company provided a loaner (which they delivered to her house and picked up from the body shop) and dealt directly with the repair shop...my Mom never saw any forms or paid out a penny.
It was completely painless (from the insurance standpoint at least) and amazingly efficient.
I revised my opinion of insurance companies forthwith.

Wow they paid up quick.
