Using visa for car hire & insurance prot 12 Mar 2007 (Forum)
I contacted Natwest Visa and they advised me that I am covered. However after some research and an email to Natwest I found this to be incorrect and I'm not covered..thank fully I managed to return the car after 2 months hire without a blemish!!! So ultimately my question is are there any credit cards that do have an isnurance that do cover you in the event that you would have to pay for an excess claim against a car hire made out on your visa card? -

Honda civic 1.4 inspire hatchback 2003 - Wear and Tear, Honda Happiness Guarantee and cover 11 Sep 2012 (Forum)
As a gesture of goodwill we can discount the price to £702.49 and will collect the car from you at no extra cost and leave you a courtesy car to use for a few days. I have the Honda Happiness Guarantee and that lists that Manual gearbox is covered but only if a failure occurs, so what would you do? -
2019 A3 Tfsi - Audi service 15 Jun 2022 (Forum)
I collected my car from the local Audi dealer after its three year service and first MOT. Next day I drove 170 miles to visit relatives and returned today, three days later. On my return I lifted the bonnet to replenish the windscreen washer and check the oil and found that the engine cover was missing and the battery terminal covers were adrift. -
Ford Focus 1.6 auto. - Changing Insurance company 26 Jan 2016 (Forum)
I drive a 2003 Ford focus with under 70000 miles on the clock. Every year the comprehensive insurance cover goes up and last year cost me £410 with breakdown cover, legal expenses cover and admin fee. I assume the car is only worth less than £1000. I am going to try the comparative sites when it is nearly due in January. -

Proper European Cover 6 Sep 2005 (Forum)
I live in the UK but for the next 12 months I will be spending at least 50% of my time on the continent - in France, Belgium, Germany, Holland, etc). My insurance is up for renewal and I want a policy that will cover me while in Europe *at the same level* as I am covered in the UK, i.e. TPFT. Also, I'd rather not have to phone my insurers every time I go away/come back, as my trips are rather frequent. I know that UK inserers are legally obliged to provide you with minimum cover in EU contries, but that's not good enough for me as if my car gets nicked in Belgium, I'll be up the proverbial without a wotsit. -

Kia Sportage - Kia Sportage Top Mounts 16 Feb 2024 (Forum)
If this was brake pads or discs, bulbs, wipers etc I could understand these are items with a limited life, but would have assumed a suspension component would be covered by the warranty. So whilst it did pass the MOT, having a car that makes a twanging clunk to the extent that I can feel it through the steering wheel and it can be heard outside the car is not ideal. -

Peugeot RCZ 1.THP - Main dealer used car warranty, wear & tear 7 Sep 2018 (Forum)
But we had to pay about 130+ pounds to have this done and the dealers representative that we bought the car from to confirm if it was covered by warranty. They said the fault not covered under warranty as it is "wear and tear." I feel that as the fault became apparent when we'd had the car for just under 8 months and had covered only 700 miles that the dealer we bought the car from should cover the cost in full or at the very least in part. -

Ford Fiesta - 2000 Fiesta diesel rocker cover leak.... 7 Mar 2012 (Forum)
Some days it wont even get warm from starting. What could this be? Also, on top of the rocker cover, to the far right of the oil filler cap is a circle design that sits flush with the rocker cover. This is leaking ever so slightly. Does this circle thing carry a purpose? Or is it just a design?
