Sorry folks if I aint been on the forums for a while as I have been a little ill, been to hospital and all been rectified, old age is part of it

anyway down to the nitty gritty

Westminster Insurance or better known now as Tradex

A driver from York took a job to Reading, parked up in a car park for eats and drinks

a Range rover with elderly driver trying to park, mounted the taxi drivers Merecedes, and the Mercedes was instant write off

the driver rung Tradex insurance for recovery and was told "your out of your 10 mile area" nothing we can do, you willl have to make your own way back including recovery

having used Westminster or now known as Tradex for lots of years, I am starting to think again, myself having cancelled AA recovery, because Tradex now give you vehicle recovery with your policy, I thought would be covered, not so, so its back to AA services

be careful out there

I think I am right in that the basic premium with Westminster/Tradex automatically covers "local roadside assistance" I think they do offer full breakdown cover including homestart and national roadside assistance and recovery. You just have to pay a bit more. I think it compares favourably price wise with the equivilant AA/RAC cover for taxis.

As the incident was clearly non fault, the RR driver's insurance should eventually pick up the tab for that.

AA won't recover you from an accident?

They will in certain circumstances but recovery after an accident is usually done through your insurance.
