Hayzer Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 My car is booked into my local OPC next Wednesday and they have asked me to arrange cover for the loan car (Cayenne 3.2) is this normal practice ? . They also said they could insure me if I paid the admin fee any ideas how much they would charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They charge me £7 a day and increase the excess. You need to take your insurance docs and d license in usually! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would have a Motor Traders policy with automatic loan car cover. I presume the admin cost would be to delete the Collision Damage Waiver. IMHO I would always take their insurance, as if you prang it your own NCB is not affected! Dickie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if thats per day as have only ever needed it for one at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percymon Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 The admin charge is to cover the cost of their tiem to call up and add you to their policy - you need to check the excess, its likely to be at least £1kI just take temporary cover with my own insurer - never ever been charged an admin fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirwolfie Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 I have never been charged nor signed any form regarding loan car insurance; if they tried that with me they would never get my repeat business.Be tough and you shall receive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1tony Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 It's standard practice now I think. I get a temp policy from my normal insurer at £10-15 per day with all the same excess etc. It's handy for me as my licence is not as clean as it once was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilleyT Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 My insurance company wanted extra £15 for a days cover on an loan car, the OPC wanted £20, went with the OPC as it was less hassle and I thought if I did prang the BRAND NEW (46m) Box S - Fully loaded (and I mean fully) it would be better if they sorted it out!

sja Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Newcastle OPC asked me to sign insurance docs etc for a Cayenne loaner. Didn't charge me though... They have a sign up top say it will be £15 per day. I have had a loaner for up to four days without charge.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
