hello.
Has anyone here ever used Helphire ?????
My car was badly damaged a few days ago - not my fault (no - it really wasn't) - & Helphire have been calling me.
They & their website say that they provide hirecars to innocent drivers, & reclaim the costs from the guilty party. The innocent party pays a £10 insurance fee in case the in 3rd parties insurance doesn't pay up.
Googling shows the company really does exist - I did wonder.
What worries me .... too good to be true ??
The driver of the car that ran into me ran off leaving the car behind. I haven't found out from the police yet if the driver was the owner or if the car was/claimed to be stolen (the keys were left in the abandoned car).
Does anyone have any experience of dealing with Helphire ????
