A Word Of Warning

[Ageing Busker]

I was recently involved in a non-fault accident, which when I advised my insurance broker ( RAC ). I was put through to a company called DRIVE ASSIST, who I was assured would deal with the repair & supply a replacement vehicle at no cost to myself, they claim it back from the third party insurers. To cut a long story short, they supplied a replacement car in the dark so the delivery inspection was difficult. Following the repair of my IS200, they collected the replacement car two days late & accused me of causing damage to their vehicle, which I had'nt. This resulted in a dispute which has taken months to resolve. Having Googled Drive Assist I found that similar problems have occured with a lot of other people, in fact they have even been on the BBC Watchdog program. Should anyone come up against this company I would advise you to have no dealings with them whatsover.

They've had bad press for years especially good at inventing damage to hire vehicles then debiting your card alledgedly.

When I had my non fault accident back in June I had the "Ambulance Chasers" involved at 1st but soon "sacked" them under the DSRs and dealt direct with the 3rd party insurer's. Settled within 3 weeks.

That's what I should have done, easy to be wise after the event.
