Insurance excesses?
« on: 26 April 2014, 07:40:48 »

Morning chaps, sons friend got cut up last night, forcing him into a curb causing quite a bit of suspension damage to his car (poor fella I might add!). Anyway unfortunately his excess is £1100, he's got excess protection where they repay the money, however stumping up £1100 in a lump sum is enough for anyone. Can you pay excesses in parts or does it have to be in full completely? I was always under the impression it was full or you don't get the car until it's paid?

Normally it's taken out of the payout to the repairer, so you have to pay it to the repairer before they'll release the vehicle.

Identify the third party vehicle and claim directly from their insurers :y

Failing that buy the bits and fix independently...

Can't find the other car, other than it's a Black Ford Fiesta, no index details though. Poor sod clouted the curb at a speed, as he put it, hit the other car or try and avoid, avoid he did and hit a curb at about 25 MPH. Front wheel totally bent, rear wheel slated slightly. I've said to him get it out and I'll get him the parts at a cheaper rate to repair at my local mechanics.
