Darren Bent's claim for a hired Aston Martin is upheld in "How the other half live" shock.

I'm sorry, but I'm sure he could've have managed with the repair company's courtesy Vauxhall Corsa, just like the rest of us do when our car needs a repair.

I had an old Carlton automatic and when it broke down last year the only comparable size and automatic gearbox replacement in the car hire place with a contract with my insurers was....a lovely big merc!

Gosh, I enjoyed tooling around in that for a few days!

Frankly it was ridiculous him spending £50k on a replacement car when his car is worth £70k and he also has other cars at home.

I was sending out email's to third parties with barely contained glee informing them that they need to cough up and to stick their average spot rate up their backside.

Common sense has prevailed here. Just quite how the pecunious claimant can hire at a hypothetical average rate is beyond me.

Nothing wrong with Bent taking out a like for like car. Its a basic principle of tort. He's paid for a prestigous vehicle and shouldn't have to take a lesser car.

Steve Salt at AX was very pleased.

Sadly he didn't have to wait in for 8 hours for Drive Assist to arrive.

I don't mind paying a bit more on my insurance every year Darren because of greedy, selfish bastards like you.
Just like I don't mind paying a ridiculous amount of money to watch the Villa just so you can drive these cars.
All worth it to watch you contribute nothing for 90 minutes most weeks.
You overpaid, overrated wanker.

A lot of people have been caught out by these credit hire agreements in the last few months.

Bent beats off White Van Man

I read that and thought that the last thing we need. Ash has gone, and now another one of our England internationals is beating off.

He has other cars but why should have have to use them because someone hit him, it was a no fault accident and DeKuip if it wasn't for the "Overrated" Bent we would more than likely be in the championship with the sty dwellers

Stop sitting on the fence DeKuip!
However  I find myself in agreement here.
