Europa Consultancy
Discussion
Accident this morning; I was in the lane of traffic moving forward, pulled into a right filter lane, so that I could turn right about 50 yards further on. Guy in a taxi did the same. I had passed most of his vehicle. He didnt check before pulling out and has driven into my Elise. The offside front wing of his vehicle has hit the nearside rear wheel arch area and passenger door on my car. No witnesses. He is saying it is all my fault, even though two thirds of my car had gone beyond his before he hit me!
Spoken to my insurance company, who have requested that I take it to Solus on Slyfield Ind. Estate, Guildford. They won't touch the car, which doesn't surprise me. Back on Trac look after my car and popped it around to them, who are more than happy to take the car.
They mentioned Europa Consultancy and to get in touch with them. Can anyone explain where they come into it and the process? As I haven't gone down this sort of route before, if Europa take the case on and they win. All well and good and I don't spend £750.00 on an excess fee. Who pays if they don't win? or is it a case of they only take work on if they are more confident than not they will win?
Fed-up Den....

Accident management co. Scourge of this planet. They will provide a courtesy car and persue the 3rd party for your excess. Very good. However, they charge upward of £100 a day for the car hire to the insurance co. to make their money. So we all pay in the end.
When SupraMilf's BMW was hit, the management co provided a new Vectra. (Her car was a £1300 BMW E30). After 3 weeks the bm was written off. £1300 paid out plus nearly £2000 in hire fees. Mad.

It happens, might as well live with it. We in Britain pay insurance premiums from Hell, might as well reap the rewards if you crash.When SupraMilf's BMW was hit, the management co provided a new Vectra. (Her car was a £1300 BMW E30).

Seems to be 'good person to deal with' rather than 'scourge of this planet', but never had to use them myself.

I've used them twice, both non fault claims.
Last one was a few months ago and I got a brand new Audi A6 Avant to tool round in for a couple of weeks, all I had to do was ring them up, explain the details of the incident and that was that.
Makes the process completely hassle free. I would use them again if needed.

If you want to be given the run around by both your and the taxi drivers insurance companies........don't use Europa. If you want things sorted quickly and easily with virtually no stress for you.......use Europa.
I used them a few years ago and the whole thing was done, dusted and repaired with 4 days of the accident. The hire car was comparable to the car I was driving and I had it for the 2 days that the car was in the body shop.
If insurance companies didn't make life impossible for their punters, AMC's would not exist.

+1 for Europa. Very nice people to deal with.
This.I was hit on xmas eve year before last in my 335i, smashing the rear quarter and suspension...not so much of an issue, but I was off to Paris on a NYE trip on the 28th....they sorted out a new E35Ocdi vert and delivered from manchester on the same day allowing the trip to continue without issue.
(
I would have taken my dad's car as was insured, but it was stolen 2 weeks earlier so wasn't an option....)

He's my insurance hero. Seems to be 'good person to deal with' rather than 'scourge of this planet', but never had to use them myself.
I've never used the company, but anniesdad provided me with lots of very good advice when I had an insurance issue FOC.
