They will sort it for you mate.

Have you used them? How do they make money from the deal?

They work closely with us (at work). They make their money of the 3rd party. You don't have to worry about a thing.

Sorry to hear about the car

What are you thinking of for a replacement if it is written off?

[TagnuT]

Glad to hear that your ok!  Like you said at least you have GAP insurance.

Cars can be replaced, you are ok and that's the main thing!

Firstly glad to hear your'e ok!

I've used Help Hire (recommended by VW) and so did my other half. Top service and we didn't have to do a thing. They kept us up to date weekly or fortnightly. (probably because they claim the admin cost back!)

Mine and gf's car were fixed within a week.

Glad to hear you have GAP. Once blame has been established from an insurance view, i would say 4 weeks tops really.

Sorry to hear. You walked away, thats the main thing.

Thanks to everyone for your best wishes and advice!
Admiral have been excellent and their legal dept has arranged for a new Golf GTi hire car to be delivered tomorrow. That can serve as a test drive as I would definitely look to get a Mk6 as a replacement (will I be disappointed???). My car was a June 08 with all the bells and whistles so don't know if GAP will leave me quids in or out.
I have a sore back and shoulder, cuts and bruises, but no worse that I get on the rugby pitch and if you saw the car you'd expect me to be in hospital so I don't think personal injury is a factor right now (but I will see what happens).
Anyone know of any cars like mine on the market right now, around £20K, or what else I should have a look at?

Thanks,
Snakey

Does the airbag hurt when it pops out?

For that sort of cash the Golf GTI is the really sensible choice.  If you were to go secondhand £20,000 will buy almost anything.

glad you are ok and that you're not putting in a false claim for whiplash etc - hope the insurance sorts it

Keep an eye on your back. My gf was a passenger in an accident and had a sore back. 4 yrs later she's having to pay out of pocket to get her back fixed!
