VRev6 0 Posted December 17, 2003 Hello people, I was wondering if the ones of you out there with Road Angels (or any other speed camera gizmo) are covered against theft out your car? I dont mean leaving it on your dash (thats asking for it) but if its in your glovebox, cos its not always poss to take it with you! i just rang Elephant and was told no its not covered :twisted: Is it just that elephant that don't or is it all insurance companies??? Thanks :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bcstudent 0 Posted December 24, 2003 I hate insurance companies....especially Herts. A few years ago I renewed a policy with them and thought nothing of it. The year passed and when I renewed again I happened to read the policy document. They had removed the 'third party cover for any insured car not owned by the policy holder' part without mentioning it. When I rang them up I discovered that I didn't have that cover for the previous year either, meaning I had been driving uninsured and unaware on many occasions! Needless to say I always read policies now. I accept that I SHOULD have read the policy before, but as far as I was concerned it was simply a renewal. I feel they should have notified me of such a significant change. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
