Would it be worthwhile to claim from car insurer (excess $700) or do my own repair with $1500 out of pocket? There were some dents and scratches to front and back door when I hit a pillar in a carpark. Just worry it would jack up the cost of my premium in the future.
Any wise words? Thanks!
Maybe check your policy. I caused a fender bender once and my insurance told me it didn't affect my no claim bonus.
Ask your repairer if they can do a better price for cash, and make sure they know you're paying for it out of your own pocket, not insurance.
Diy, if you know which end of the sledge hammer is which!
Thanks guys! DIY did crossed my mind but not too sure it'll work.
go with the $1500 out of pocket I'd say. That way you save the no claim bonus and dont have to pay a jacked up premium the next year.
