You have a fair point - who does it go against if nobody was in the car? e.g. 3rd party bumper you car, accepted liability and you got the car repaired with their insurance paying - no different in my mind than you having a bump yourself and paying for it yourself

I told my wife's insurance when someone bumped hers, the 3rd party sorted the repair and my insurance have never asked anymore about it, they just made a not on the policy when I originally called to tell them.  How would i know how much it cost etc..?

Anyway, slightly going off  - just call Greenlight your quote will probably be around £470  :grin:

Same happened to me, with Admiral.. they send you a form to fill in and send back. Then that's the end of it. My premium wasn't increased because of it. They're yanking your chain Cocopops!

Also my current claim is going through an accident management place so I currently have a 57 plate GTI on hire - which of course will go on the claim and increase the cost, a week so far which I expect wont be that cheap - did feel a bit cheeky but hey I need a car and the offer like for like - getting all my long journeys out the way ;)

Greenlight 01277 263 030 , Neil is a decent guy to speak to but anyone will help.

You still have to declare it as a claim, even if not a claim on your own policy.

Not declaring it would be fraudulent.

I had this when becoming a named driver on me daughters car.

THEY told me about it

but it varies from company to company  :rolleyes:

best of all, i was in bed when the neighbour crashed into me car  :rolleyes: i didnt even tell my insurance, but they know about come renewal  :angry:

Hmm, having said that...
Greenlight have just emailed @ £572! (I filled in the online quote form detailing mods etc). Might have to call them!

I went with Admiral again this time, 26, 1 years no claims, £1020, I lost my (3 years) no claims when some b****** cut me up on a roundabout. Needed a new wing and wheel , and between Admiral and the other company they took 18 months to settle the claim, they're all in it together i tells ya....  :angry:
