Can you hang fire until after I've renewed my ins in Aug in that case? :lol:


Re: Delorean / Esprit windscreen - Guinney1971 - 04 Jul 2013

lol - Flopsy's old windscreen cracked, and Uroglass supplied Autoglass with a new one, complete
with inbuilt antenna (correct for my vin) - we're lucky though, we've got no excess on windscreens
on our insurance (got a Trade and Classic policy to cover all 9 of our cars), so my new screen cost nowt Smile

sorry, i'm not into claiming on insurance. the more people that do it, the more it rises.

There's a reason why insuracne companies exempt windscreens from the standard policy and allow you to claim without affecting your no-claims. It's becuase it's in their interest for you to be able to see where you're going.... and anyone through no fault of their own can get a cracked windscreen at any time.


Re: Delorean / Esprit windscreen - RobScott - 07 Jul 2013

yeah but the cost has got to come frome somewhere, the excess is say, £50, your whole policy is £250, but the replacement of a screen costs £500...... still makes policy prices go up.


Re: Delorean / Esprit windscreen - stunned_monkey - 07 Jul 2013

But as its likely to happen to all of us at some point, the cost will average out over time


Re: Delorean / Esprit windscreen - RobScott - 08 Jul 2013

costs never average out if everyone takes advantage, even when they shouldnt.


Re: Delorean / Esprit windscreen - stunned_monkey - 08 Jul 2013

If everyone took advantage when they shouldn't, it would average out Mr Green
