I have Mercedes Insurance, run indirectly by Norwich Union, which when I took it out some years ago was I thought a good deal.
The deal was that if you were involved in a prang and it was not your fault then during repairs they lent you an Equivalent Mercedes to your own. If it was your fault then they lent you a C Class. The rates were comparable so all was well.
Fortunately or otherwise I never tested the system until now when I am going through the damage due to "Tile off Neighbours Roof" fiasco. Which incidently my insurance is having difficulty getting anyone to pay for and it is going to cost me £250 excess.
Anyway back to problem.
I now find out that the previously agreed hire of Mercedes during repairs has been "Withdrawn". and that the usual bog standard A type Ford KA is on offer for the week that they want my car.
As I am taking delivery of a new car in March and my Insurance is renewable in April can anyone recommend a better insurance that lends you a "Decent Car" during repairs caused by some other Idiot. at reasonable rates and not large excesses.
Hopeful ?
