    Re: Claim went 50/50 but........

    It is 50/50, so your Insurers are already paying 50% of the third parties claim anyway, so it does not make any difference whether you get your car fixed or not. If you can afford to pay the excess, you might as well get the car repaired and should arrange this with the Insurers.

    You will lose some of your no claims anyway, unless it is protected. You lose 2 years for each claim normally, so you should expect a fairly steep increase in premium if you still need the Insurance at time of renewal.

    If you do sell the car before the renewal and look to cancel before renewal, you will still have to pay the full years premium and you may also have to pay a cancellation fee.

    Claim went 50/50 but........

    Hi,

    I recently had a car accient, totally not my fault but obviously i've had no luck winning my case and my insurance company have been no help. I am not going to bother getting my car fixed i'm just going to get rid of it in a couple of months before my MOT is due. If i don't get my car fixed what will this do to my no claims? Will i not loose them? Or will my insurance company still do this? Or will i just have to comment on my next years insurance?

    Please someone give me some advise, as i am kicking myself!

    Thanks
