Insuring a Cat C
« on: 29 November 2013, 18:12:36 »
Long story but Mrs E's clit is now a Cat C write-off repaired motor. Her Insurers have just informed us that they no longer insure Insurance write offs, and are cancelling her insurance in 7 days !!

Spent the last 2 hours on the phone trying to get quotes... you can't use internet comparison sites as there is no "cat C" input on any of them.... so you have to phone potential insurers and ask ...  which is proving a tad frustrating.

Can anyone tell me insurance companies who DEFINITELY - WITHOUT FAIL - insure Cat c write offs ??

Any one driving a cat C .. please .... who are you insured with ??

Pretty please ... with knobs on ??  ... and chocolate sprinkles ???   :'( :'( :'( :'(

All you need to remember when insuring a car is
1 they are all con-men,charlatans.
2 will get out of the pay-out as quick as they can.

3 change the rules when ever you ring them.
4 charge what they like because they are a cartel.
5 like bankers and politicians.

Admiral were the insurers of Annette's Astra when a young girl crashed into the back of it, writing it off. Annette had been using the car up until when the assessor examined the car & his verdict of write off. Admiral then just happened to say that they don't insure write offs .... thanks for letting us know!  ??? Perhaps what they should have said was, they don't insure them till they've had a VIC  :-\
