Hi folks, just came across this site and have found it both interesting and helpful.
I had a tree branch fall on my car (on my property) and have got a quote of €2500 to fix it, I have about 10 years no claims on the car so am keen to loss it and am afraid my policy will sky rocket. The garage I got quote from gave me a cash price (for paying myself) and one for an insurance claim. My question is do you think is best for me to pay from my own pocket or how much per year do you think my insurance would go up if I claim?
Secondly, surly it is illegal for a garage to 'stick' the insurance company for more than necessary- after all we all pay higher premiums in the end that way!
