The whole industry is a scam,I know from first hand experience and could tell you some stories about it but not on an open forum!!!
is that all???

ever since claims management industry came in, everything is a rip off. For a courtesty car they charge for example at least twice the cost it would cost you and i to rent a car. And considering these are national insurance companys dealing with national rental chains, probably 4 times what it really costs them

and thats just the courtesy cars

An example. A friend had her door bashed in by a puller outer. Car off road for a couple of weeks. The claims management company was charging over £90 a day for the courtesy car

The daily rate for a corsa on europecar is £37. Have it for a week and its £20 a day, 2 weeks £18 a day.

how the fuck can they justify it???
