Sure - go and get the quotes.Please clarify re insurer- as she has contacted the other driver's insurance and requested to get 2 quotes. etc
You'll have to gauge that for yourself - but she will want her car returned to the original condition it was in prior to accident. i.e. be careful that you don't end up with a bodge job done on it.Now insurer today phone to say that driver of other car has offered to repair himself, as he appears to work in a garage
Indeed. Smell of drink is an irrelevant detail at this point.It is incumbent on us all to report drink driving. The OPs friends daughter should have called the garda to ensure that the other driver at the very least got a fright and at best got done for drink driving.
As already mentioned she is obliged to report the accident to her insurance company and get their advice. If the car is a possible write-off she definitely needs the guidance/approval of her insurance company.
Doesn't this depend on who she claims off? If she wants to claim off her own comp policy, then yes, she should contact her own insurance company. This will probably be less hassle for her. However, she may well lose her 'no claims bonus', unless she has this protected.
If she wants to claim directly off the other insurance, she can do this - and keep her no claims bonus intact. This would be more hassle for her.
