    Mercedes Marco Polo - V class based

    It's horses for courses really. When the kinds were younger we had a 28ft 3-axle Burstner 747 which was great. However, once you're parked up that's it. Now that we're approaching retirement we want something that we can take into a town centre and park in a normal bay. Sure it has shortcomings...

    Rental Car Annual Excess Insurance

    I've used insurance4carhire, but liked others have not had to claim. However, as an insurance professional I always read the policy document before buying to ensure that the wording meets my needs. e.g. In North America last year we rented large 4x4s and the wording excluded off road use.

    End of lease hand back - any recent hands on experience?

    We returned a Mini on contract hire through ABC with 40000 miles more than agreed and they never charged. MBFS are very reasonable too. I'm guessing that the manufacturer owned finance companies are more reasonable than the others.

    Dash cams & insurance

    If you do get a discount make sure you read any endorsement that you get as a result. If you have a burglar alarm I would suggest not telling your insurers unless an alarm is required. If you do you will generally have your policy endorsed that the alarm is always operational when the house is...

    numbers of claims or value.

    Have your insurers or brokers suggested defensive driving courses, or offered a premium reduction in return for same? Do you have someone dealing effectively with recovery of your uninsured losses? If your premium is beginning to hurt, or is simply much higher than anticipated you need to look...

    numbers of claims or value.

    All insurers rate differently so there is no single answer I'm afraid. However, 15 vehicles would be a 'fleet' risk and this is rated differently to individual vehicles with the cost of claims much more directly affecting the premium than with an individual vehicle risk. If you have had poor...

If you are comfortable doing...
