Afternoon all,
Just wondering if anyone has taken out specific courtesy car insurance with Admiral (or indeed any other insurer)?
To summarise briefly - our car is going in for some repair work and will be in the garage for 4 working days (6 days in total).
The dealer offers a courtesy car service, but won't let you drive off unless you have fully comp insurance. My Admiral policy covers me to drive other cars but only on a third party basis.
When I spoke to Admiral they said that they can essentially replace my fully comp policy for this courtesy car, and the price for a week would be between £15-30 depending on the car. They just need the reg number, model etc to complete it.
The problem I have had is that the dealer cannot allocate me a courtesy car yet because they don't know what stock will be in (which I can understand). But their insurance provider charges £11 per day, which would come to £66 for the six days I need the car.
Does this quote from Admiral about right though? If so then there's no way I'm being forced into taking the garage's deal as it's twice as much, if not more.
Cheers!
