Rachel Reeves Closing Down Sale........
News3 mins ago
I was run into by a tractor emerging from a field hitting me amidships and causing extensive damage. He was completely to blame for not stopping and looking.
His insurers accepted the costs which came to 7,000 Euros and the repairer arranged for a hire car for me for 5 days. The job is done and the car is as good as new, but yesterday I recieved a bill from Eurocars for 300 plus for the hire of the car.
Shouldn't his insurers pay for that as well ?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Someone rear ended me on the approach to a roundabout & contested the claim which included a couple of day's car hire. My insurer paid the full amount for the repair and the car hire initially but I took the at-fault driver to the small claims court (and won). His insurer repaid my insurer the full amount.

That suggests that they should be paying.
Ideally you wouldn't have to be stumping up €300+, even for a short time.
I would contact both the repairer and Eurocar and let them know that the bill needs to be sorted between themselves.
If that doesn't work, send the invoice to the insurance company, get the money from them, and then pay the money to Eurocar.
Thanks for the replies. It's a holiday long weekend so I'll be doing as Ellipsis suggests at 10:25 next week.
I was just wondering what was standard practice. I asked the repairer before work started what would I have to pay and he said 'nothing at all', so perhaps Eurocars sending me an invoice might be a office mistake.
The hire-car by the way was not nice at all, a new Peugeot 205 automatic, (I'd specified an automatic) I was glad to get rid of it.
