Car Insurance write off settlement offer
Posted: November 16th, 2016, 2:51 pm
I have received a settlement offer on my Audi A5 cabriolet 3l Quattro. At the moment there is no equivalent car wrt specification, mileage and price available through the Audi dealer network. I strongly feel I should not be required to drop to a lower level of car due to an accident that the other party accepts full responsibility for. I would consider putting some additional money towards getting a newer / lower mileage car but do not feel I should take the full hit on it. I am currently in a hire Mercedes E class provided by the insurers that lists at around ~£500 per week on the Hertz website.
Does anyone have any experience of negotiating on an insurance settlement offer ? I feel that I could get somewhere offering a quick settlement, and off hiring the Merc, in return for an increased settlement offer. Any thoughts ?
TIA
