My mum had a hire car through Swift Car Hire (I think) and had two cars, first one went back while we were on holiday for a week and and I think in the end we had it for 4-6 weeks or something like that and the invoice said the hire car had cost the insurance nearly £2500.

Thanx for all the support went to mini williams at bolton today My insurance was not to happy but *** them my car at the end of the day.No not got gap was going to get G.A.P after new year as they said you can get G.A.P up to 90 days after geting the car.

The recovery driver sayed do you know that the front o/s alloy wheel was scuffed as well my wife said thats must be where the lorry drive pushed me in to the curb.Well Williams will get a quote for the damage tomorrow or Monday "I WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED"

Has your dealer got any Accident Management schemes in place?
After I had a small shunt a couple of years ago, {not my fault}, I informed my dealer who has a partnership scheme with one of these AM companies. They sorted everything out & gave me an exchange MCS straight away & for the duration while the dealer fixed the car, without any money changing hands & without a single call to my insurance co.

Poor you at least your ok and we often forget that blessing when involved in a accident, you can't buy health and well being. However you can insist upon a MINI garage providing you get three quotes 1st. BMW will normally provide these for you any way, insurance companies then claim that you can't have a courtesy car for repait period but BMW will normally provide one anyhows.

Sorry about the damage it, p***** me off when I notice a scratch when polishing so can understand how you feel...

Forgot to say you should make full use of any sore body parts - you deserve a small silver lining to this one.
