Got rear ended at a pelican crossing

[beuleux]

Yes i have, I'm liable for £650 excess if I crash it and that's it. I will of course be thoroughly checking it for existing marks and make sure they are all loggedAll companies/corporations will blag as much as they can off you given half a chance. You are right, be very careful what you sign

What I meant was, check that under no circumstances will you be expected to pay the hire charge. The daily rate is often astronomical. Your 'agent' will try to claim this back from the 3rd party, and if it is for a long period it can be more than the value of your bike repair. That's where your agent makes their money. Terrible stories of 3rd party refusing to pay for hire as excessive, and the bill landing on you. As said, check the small print, don't necessarily believe what your 'friendly' agent tells you.

Hmmmm yes, I did ask that very question to the agent and she was adamant that I am not liable but yes it is concerning I might even cancel it cos I don't really need it, it's just useful that's all, I might even just buy a spare bike really am in two minds about this, I have the full agreement printed I will scrutinise it thoroughly later
