I thought that. There'll be quite a lot of wet performers if each school has the same number in their club. I can see a few sheltering with me under my golfing umbrella. BTW that's what a gamp is. Ambitious is not the word I would have used but the weather at the moment is looking good however it could all change before half past four and the predicted finish time is half past six if we're lucky. Something to eat might be in order as well😋

Thanks Bakers2, sadly I never got a call back
so decided to call in myself. After going through many options for a ferry crossing and checking out different dates and options being very flexible like they say the prices just were far to much, so I have gone with another booking company and got a better price 
this club is sadly letting its members down in just about every way.

The Smart car was supposed to have been ready yesterday but we got a phone call this morning from the repairer saying that the door skin hadn't been delivered to them yet so now it looks like it won't be ready until next week.

Blimey Malcolm it seems an age since it was damaged and I thought it went in the next day or so! I do hope you don't loose out on the claim and subsequent hire, I trust the invalid scooter had insurance? The cost of the hire car alone must be racking up 😲.

I hadn't thought of that! It's coming from Germany. Nevertheless, I wish I had been told that there would be a delay.

Strange that they took the car for repair before getting the parts required.
It would not have been undrivable if it was only some scratches on the door, so really no need to have had the hire car so long.
Most policies have a limited time on the hire car, have you checked that you are fully covered for so long?

Malcolm why did they want it in so early? Could you not have used until the skin arrived? That way drop off hire car for minimum time collect, costs held down to the bare minimum. I'm sure it would have been more economical for you fuel wise?

I can't believe it's taken this long to repair just a few minor paintwork scratches! They've had the car for 11 days already. The insurance has all the details of the third party car that did the damage so they must be dealing with hire costs etc.

The insurance arranged everything, I had no say in it all!

Son-in-law had a set to with a motor cycle the other week, car (VW) was picked up for repair on the Monday and returned on the Thursday, he did not take a hire car to keep the value of the claim down as it is quite likely to end up as a claim on his own insurance.
Even when not at fault, there is an obligation to minimise your losses as far as I remember. This seems to particularly apply to the use of hire cars.

Spent an unproductive 45 minutes watching penguins on a video screen this morning !! Actually reclining while a couple of Hygienisisisists complained about the plaque they were ploughing thro' Not at all sure if they were referring to somebodies Avatar on 'ere !! At least I'm free of their ministrations for a good few weeks. Then after lunch it was loading up my g/g/nephews very delayed C'mas present -- 8 fruit trees planted up by my aged sister but transported by me. Sis helped ( ? ) in the loading & directions to their destination, where to place them 'cos the kids are working and/or Play-schooling. Pulled up, opened side door, placed four as directed, by then Sis had got out of the 'van & asked for one for her to carry. By the time she had asked all 8 were in place & she tried to get back in the 'van without using the folding step. And people ask why I'm still Single
!"!There are times when I come on here and really enjoy reading all the moans and whinges !!
Now it's back to iPlayer to re-run the Galapagos programme

A third party will only reimburse what are considered to be reasonably incurred costs. 11 days, so far, of car hire would not appear reasonable to me for such minor damage. In the days when I worked in insurance motor claims I would havd rejected that part as out of hand for such minor damage. Possibly reconsidering if a decent reason for such a long period was given. That was 30 plus years ago and by today's standards very generous in considering settlement. So if I were you I'd be asking questions if your repairers as a matter of urgency so I could argue my case with the third party. Your insurance company will not pursue them in the same way as you would. It'll be small money for them and not worth the cost in terms of staff time to argue. I do hope you're not out of pocket as a result of all this.

Yes this has been the case for 15 months or more. We had to do it for NZ hire in February last year. When it was introduced it was a three day limit and we were doing 10 days in Thailand before hitting NZ 😲. Luckily it was changed before we went but meant getting Internet access and doing it from somewhere where you couldn't be certain about security! An added Street whilst your holiday 😂😂.
