Free Motor Legal Protection

jeffcarolt

I am just about to re-new a multi policy now (3 Cars) so doing the rounds of looking at each car costs individually, so I can batter down the over priced renewal. I know that motor legal protection is a much discussed topics with people for and against. I have found a multi motor legal policy by DriverGuardian for £25 and then found a free one http://www.freemotorlegal.co.uk/ anyone got any experience or opinions on either?

Free cover has been discussed in a number of threads:

There are no recommendations for it, and the only good word comes from the guy who owns it.

Thanks for that Quentin; I had carried out a search before I posted but came up blank (not sure why). It's an emotive subject!

the free company makes money by probably charging a fortune for rental hire and solicitor costs to the at fault party.


basically what your insurers do already but with the added bonus of referring you to a solicitor who may also take a cut of your compensation too but without charging, which mainstream no win no fee already do

Then surely you should be seeking MSE's permission to post as company representative.

Having said the above, I am getting to the point of not really caring what Quentin et al have to post on the subject. It is just the same old toss. Recent turns of events in my life have re-focused what is important in my life and squabbling with the likes of him and other self-appointed forum prefects is lame.

If my account gets deleted for this post, so be it.

Don't know why you think referring to mine and others posts as "old toss", then posting emotional reasons why you think you should be allowed to is acceptable behaviour.


Bear in mind this is coming from the company that previously posted this apology (after being subjected to much criticism):

It is a fact that every time your company gets brought up here that no-one but you have a good word for it (until in this thread the mysterious seaside joins up just to proclaim he will sign up and then castigates MSE for not promoting you with his maiden post???)

Think what you like old man. I have no idea who the new poster is. Jog on.

if you had MSE's permission it should appear in your sig, therefore we'll see...

Which is fine, but if you are going to comment on that company then you should use the appropriate account.
