I smashed an Impreza up once - my own fault although the thing thoroughly deserved to be smashed into a tree. Horrible.

Didn't claim and never told my insurance company. In fact, didn't even think about mentioning it until you started talking about it on here!

Over 5 years now anyway.

Woops!

I wrote a marina off many years ago on black ice and never told the insurance. I scrapped it and bought a mini. Noone ever knew as the scrap yeard picked it up for me and squished it!

To tell or not to tell ....

Post by sdcoomber »

Technically insurers should be told. Insurers tend to "believe" their customers so if you tell your insurer you were involved in a "no fault" "no claim" accident, the other party did not stop to give details for example, it would be very rare for the premium to be increased.

Even if you hit a stationary object, it might very well be the case you swerved to avoid a motorcycle on the wrong side of the road who carried on.

This way you are telling the insurance company but protecting your position.

It is true insurers try to wriggle if they can. They might even be reading this !!!

This is my point. Tell them, and you have no worries, and they should not increase a premium because of it. Don't tell them, and it's giving them a way to wriggle out of a claim.
this might be a signature

Something will turn up Tim, keep looking. Best bet I`ve found recently is checking the newly listed cars within, say, a 25 mile radius of your house. You`d be surpised how many offer a very cheap buy it now price!
