    OK Maybe a little waffly. To summarize.
    You have done well reducing £1150 to £800 euros.
    Don't spend money on court fees. Try free methods like ECRCS or LBA.
    If you don't want the same problem again buy car hire excess insurance before you go.

    Thanks, that’s what I was thinking. Will just take the £350, doing that and going to the ECRCS doesn’t sound right - you either accept the good will and consider the matter settled or take it further the way I see it, not both.
