Land Rover Insurance

Following our accident in the France in the D3, i just wanted to acknowledge a big

to Land rover Insurance. Despite me stressing and worrying over whether they would pay out, they have agreed to pay the full market value and settled in a very short timescale as well as sell the salvage for a very reasonable price

they werent concerned about the accessories on the car and we didnt even have to fill in any claim paper work !!!

accident happened on 19th May in France
car back in UK on 6th June
we arrive back in uk on 11th June
car inspected on 14th june
salvage released to me on 21st June
settlement figure paid on 27th june.

That's impressive

I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

it cost a bit more than your "comparethemaerkat" policies, but in the event of a major incient was well worth it. they didnt quibble or try and get out of paying at all.

we have now insured both the MY12 D4 and the new MY10 Freelander with them. also,

as we have had a big claim and stuck with them, they offered a 10% discount on both polices, which made them much, much cheaper than the NFU

Duncan, did you see that someone's now selling a tool to get the airbags out, so next time you don't have to do anything quite so extreme?

Glad the insurance company looked after you! David
