    Aren't those signs simply to cover Tesco (or whoever) in the event that shopper A damages shopper B's property? It doesn't (surely!) give Tesco carte blanche to leave their trolleys littering the car park.

    Was the accident in the car park, I wonder?

        What if it's Tesco's trolley, Tesco's car park and Tesco Insurance?

        I bet they don't do car hire :

          If you claim, no claims protection means nothing. Your premiums will still go up and you will have to declare any claims in future anyway. No claims protection is a con as a way of charging you more for nothing.

            would it be cheaper to pay for the repair or claim on the insurance.
            she asked me, and I don't have a clue

            Put the details on and see what quotes you get. You dont have to take the lowest quote either.

              My cheapest renewal quote doubled after a prang, as you now become a very high risk, the no claims protection means tulip, I still have full no claims discount, but every quote is double the ones pre-prang.

              And you have to put it on every fricking quote for about the next 5 years, with dates and details.

              Just get some garage quotes and fix it or live with it.

                I got hit by a council gritter. Entirely their fault. Their insurance paid. My premiums went up as 'statistically I'm more likely to have another accident', this was 8 years ago. Haven't had so much as a prang since. Bastards.
