Airport Parking - Car Broken

FACT


Knackered car. OP squeezing money since there maybe an opportunity to get compensation.

Knackered car broke and its someones elses fault.

Knackered car + someone else driving it + breakage = Compensation.

If you have nothing helpful to say then f*** off out of this thread.

I left a perfectly working car with them and they broke it FACT whether it would have happened or not - who knows? I certainly don't until they explain to me what happened instead of filling me with !!!!!!!!. You work for them by any chance hey?

Like I said, nothing useful to say, then I don't want to see you in this thread again.

Our insurance company are collecting the car to have it looked at properly and try and establish how the damage was caused and if it is repairable or not so that will cost us nothing and give us the answers we need.

How on earth did you manage to get them to do that? And are you sure they are not treating it as a claim? And if you press ahead with the claim it will affect your no claims, if you drop the claim they will ask you for costs incurred.

To have ANY hope of getting anything from the company, you will need an engineers report saying that it definately has been driven harshly and the failure could only have happened suddenly - not contributed to by wear over time - as a result of inappropriate driving.

If you can't get that then you have no hope, and you should give up

BTW ignore the local village idiots we have here, I'm sure you know who they are now.

Wig, thanks for your helpful comments.

They are treating it as a claim, but they will try and get the company to accept liability and then it won't affect our no claims. If they won't accept liability and the no claims thing raises our premiums then we can just walk away and have the unrepaired car back. The bonus is, we'll have the insurance report so we might be able to privately sell the car. Either way, at least we can get it looked at THEN make a decision based on what we've been told.

Ok first of all no car insurance will be taking this on to deal with as its not anything your insured against

If your legal cover on home is taking it on as soon as they realise you have no claim they will expect you to reimburse them

The fact is you left a car approximately 12 years old left and it developed a fault, unless you can prove the company where to blame fully you have no chance

Nothing you have said on this thread isnt explained away by a simple oversight or in offering the service they provided you thus I have to say your cheapest option here will be to accept an old car developed a fault and get it repaired ASAP

Pursuing this ridicolous claim will only cost you more

You cannot expect them to prevent the inevitable and stop a car developing a fault just because you paid them to store it instead of on your drive

Sorry to disagree but your wrong. They already ARE taking it on as a claim. Simple as.

Utter crap

If they are its because you have mislead them

A car developing a fault is not an insurance circumstance

All your doing is building up a bill you will be sent when they realise this

If you could claim everytime a car broke down do you not think everyone else would

Maybe the people at the car park have been watching `Ferris Bueller`s Day Off` and thought they could get away with it too!

OP, I hope you get this sorted out. I`d be very pi**ed off if I trusted my car to a company and came home to find it broken.

Good luck!

Cars are covered against damage. If the car has been driven without permission harshly, it could be the case that the gearbox problem is a result of being hit by a speed bump for example. I think this would fall under the definition of damage and so a claim could be possible.

Good luck with the claim, and post the results, or PM me I'd like to know.

...and the car is only worth a couple of hundred pounds at the most (11year old Polo). It's just not worth pursuing an insurance claim for it.
