Claiming for hire car - non fault claim - any experience?
Hi all, Someone crashed into our car this weekend (Mercedes V-class 8 Seater), so I am perusing a non-fault claim. My insurance does not have Hire Car cover - we have 4 kids, three of them are in child seats and in addition we need a double buggy, so a small 3/5dr hatchback wouldn't be useful. My intention is to hire a…

Break down cover for a camper? Ouch...
Getting stung here trying to get 'simple' (so I thought) break down cover for my micro-DIY van camper. Not talking one of these big ugly leviathan Sprinters. Pretty much every quote I have has a caveat saying no campers. Really sucks. We're talking £25 per year policies for my vehicle in usual 'van' guise to having to…

New Car Tax rates in April 2024
I bought a low emissions petrol car after a lot of research and was
pleasantly surprised to find that my Vehicle Excise Duty was only
£30.00 per annum because the emissions are only 114gms per litre.
This is a huge incentive for those will little money and also saves
the planet. However, I now see that the government is…

Should I keep my no-fault write off (category S) car?
I wonder if I can get some advice.... We were in an accident the other week, which was not our fault. Another car drove into the side of ours. The damage did not seem extensive (we've used the car since), but we've just heard that the insurance assessors have deemed it not worth paying to repair (Category S) We've been…

Best way to buy an almost new car…
Hi, I’ve never bought cars on PCP before, and my car is now 18 years old and I’m looking to buy a nearly new car. (I’ll probably not go for brand new as that seems extravagant to me). Can anyone help with pros and cons of different ways to purchase please? Thanks in advance

Driving licence renewal with passport
Hi. My driving licence is due for renewal in December 2024. My passport expiry date is February 2025. Issue date 10 years last September. Am I right in assuming my passport is valid to renew my driving licence ? In other words, unlike travel, it's the expiry date that's the important one? Many thanks.

GPS speed limit detectors
I'm after something that acts like the thing on map apps
that tells you what the speed limit is for the area you're in but something
that can just sit on the dashboard somewhere rather than an app. I'm not
after something that tells me what speed cameras are coming up or something
that tells me how fast I'm actually going.…

The feel of the road through the steering wheel
Looking for some opinions/experiences on this one. I've been lucky enough to get a new Skoda Enyaq and it's a great car. However, I find that on certain roads, particularly rough ones, I can feel feedback from the road through the steering wheel and, to a lesser extent, the pedals. It's like I can feel a slight…
