URGENT, BEEN STRUCK BY A VEHICLE!

Blimey! 2 of her at one point, your car was gang-raped.

She must have been a ninja as after the accident she disappeared

speak to your insurance first and see what they will do for you.

Yeah but don't call them an Elephant, as you never know it might be some big bird your talking to, and she'll probably hang up.

Hopefully they will repair it, or if they write it off you can buy it back at a v reasonable amount and repair it? The damage doesnt look too bad, good luck, it looks like a v nice car.

If his car was written off, obviously it has been modified. How would he be compensated for these modifcations? I have always wondered this. Obviously not in this case but if a car was a total write off through somebody elses fault would they have to pay out for the car and then the modifications on top of that?

Unless you drive a 1 litre Corsa, how? If you use them you'll get sent to their approved repairer and be given a Group A hire car.

Yea, great.

Not really, I was given a brand spanking new Renault Megane when my (yes you guessed it) Renault Megane was in an accident.

As nice as that may have been for you, if they offered me a Megane for an MX-5, I would be most displeased. Replacing a lovely, tidy 2-seater for a bland eurobox with cunning french electrics would not be something I'd accept.

Woah, you certainly missed the point.

They replaced like for like when I had my accident. Who knows, maybe the OP will give them a call and find out rather than posting on an internet forum? Crazy I know!

What's the point in spending all that money a year then not using it. Elephant were great when I had my accident.

Wow, I didn't know they drove on the right in Bristol.
That will get confusing for motorists not local, no wonder she hit you.

They'd also replace like for like with a Yaris, Corsa, Fiesta and probably even a Focus. I bet it would be pov spec, uber-budget fleet flavoured rather than anything halfway decent. And why would they provide a decent car, it's costing THEM money. Helphire are MAKING money from your insurance and want repeat business/good word of mouth. Commercially, it is in their best interest to provide a proper like-for-like replacement. It is not in Elephant's.

Well this damage is also to the chassis and appears to be too mangled to repair. Looks like it will have to be cut out and a new piece welded in, primed and paint matched. If you think that process will come close to the value of your car, than it's totaled.
