Test Drive Claims: The Car Dealer’s Nightmare
As the downturn starts to cease car sales are on the rise once more, this means more and more potential customers flooding through the showroom doors looking for a test drive. Now would be an ideal time to take precuations to protect yourself against disrespectful drivers who treat your valuable commodities like toys. There have been numerous well-publicised incidents in the past concerning crashes which occur during test drives and red tape surrounding who shells out for the damage. Is it your insurer? Is it the driver? What if the driver does not even own a vehicle and therefore has no insurance of their own?
This is a contentious issue and one which needs to be dealt with before any more boy racers stroll in asking for a test drive of the latest high powered 3 litre saloon! Refusing a test drive is not an option as sales need to be made, unhappy customers will simply migrate elsewhere. So what to do? Some dealers blindly allow anyone to test drive anything, a very sales driven approach but not a very wise one! Some dealers will ask for I.D and bank details pre-test drive although the customer is no way informed about how these are used, leaving you subject to appeal should there be a claim made. Other dealers will try to ‘sus out’ the customer, asking questions to check if they have done any in depth research on the vehicle in question rather than just swaggering in in and hoping into the drivers seat.
These methods are numerous and have varying degrees of sucess but a failsafe way to make sure you and the customer are protected is to take out one day insurance every time you conduct a test drive. This is a very quick process which can be completed in minutes over the phone, giving you can instant car insurance quote which comes into effect immediately and costs as little just ten pounds per day. This will cover you for any incident an over-eager driver has when going over and above their own limits. Most short term car insurance firms offer between 1-28 days cover meaning you can still use the system for weekend or extended test drives. Perhaps this is a case where prevention is better than cause, if you see a bright-eyed teenager or absent-minded geriatric walk through the showroom doors, offer to take them on a test drive first!
