“Almost half (48%) of customers on the Scheme who have tried to access insurance privately have been priced out – quoted premiums they could not afford. That’s why everyone on the Scheme receives the same comprehensive insurance cover as part of their lease. The total cost of this cover is shared across all customers as part of their overall lease cost. ” Pesonally I think they are just clutching at straws with some of the stuff they are coming out with! There is plenty of evidence out there on how data will be shared, which is contradictory to the latest media factsheet, including that from the NI trial, the manufacturer IMS (IMS One APP and IMS Wedge) & Motability’s own website. The reports of NI trial, where numerous scheme users were removed from the scheme and the particular report of someone doing 117mph in a built up residential area, I think is utter bollocks and was either for the purpose of a media attention headline, as I wouldn’t put it past Motability, based on the fact they have never stood up for us scheme users OR there was a GPS or App error reporting current speed, which happens. I always remember the time, the tracker on my Mercedes Sprinter 316 recorded 212mph down the M4 and recieving a certificate for the fastest contractor oof the month, which I still have. Of course this was nonsense. I’m also of the opinion every user of the scheme should have been asked for their a opinion on the changes to the scheme and not left to a Think Tank (Adam Smith) to target customers who’s responses would be favurable to the changes. A simple text or email with a link to an automated survey, would have been mch fairer.
Aviva quoted us the other day £517 for a new long range Tesla 3 premium, noted Tesla are cheaper than Mobility for excess mileage. Its a shame the Tesla is too low for us to get into.
Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
