An update to my incident from a few months ago now:
The driver changed her number soon after the incident so I couldn't contact her to send her a bill for the damage.
I made a report to the police who decided as there was no personal injury there was no case to pursue.
I used the askMID.com website to get the driver's insurance details.
Turns out she was driving a hire car but had opted to use her own car insurance to cover her - so rental company claim they are not liable.
They did, however, give me the insurance policy which she was using as cover on the rental car.
I contacted this insurance company who confirmed that she had an outstanding claim, the reason she was using a hire car, BUT, her policy did not cover her to drive a hire car, and therefore they have no liability relating to the incident.
So now I have a driver I cannot contact and two insurance companies who both deny liability.
due to lack of personal injury this will cost more than the damages are worth to hire a solicitor.
Any advise?
