Claiming on car insurance
Article Abstract:
Car insurance does not always cover everything the driver expects: an excess, costs of transport, compensation for personal injury, loss of earnings, or inconvenience. One in ten people are dissatisfied with the manner in which their claim is handled. Direct Line and Commercial Union are the best at settling claims, with over 70% settled within four weeks. Using authorised repairers can save time. When a car is written off, the insured is paid the value of the car before the accident, which may be based on Parker's guide.
