Hi,

We are due to renew car insurance within next week. Had an accident about 4 weeks ago and the claim is still going through. It was a non-fault accident & car is fixed, but claim going through for other losses/excess etc.

Is it wise to change insurers at this point, or should we stay with the same one until sorted out.

Thanks
Now proud Mumto3 :j

    really makes no difference as far as i`m aware cos even your current insurer will have "stepped back" your no claims discount whist the claim is open. Then re-instate when settled and refund you any overcharge etc...

    Not quite true, if third party insurer has admitted liability or your insurer is defending in full, it should not affect your renewal premium.
