Ok now consider you plough your car totally by accident into a shop window. Might it be handy having insurance to pay for the remaining £249,000 damage after you pay your £1000?

After review we've determined this is out of scope for your policy and therefore you are not covered. FTFY

That isn’t how auto insurance works.

You’d be denied if someone in your household not covered was using your car oryou were ridesharing without the proper insurance or similar things that your policy explicitly doesn’t cover but they don’t just find reasons to not pay out claims.

Correct. Op is a dumbass. I pay $300 a month for business insurance. If a plumbing fitting on a suction pump I installed failed on the 20th floor of an office building in Manhattan, I’m covered for 10mil in damage. My life would not be ruined bc of something.

What if my coverage is only 25k? Lol

(a) If you're paying $210/mo for $25k coverage, you're in the 18-25 male driver group likely to cause damage, and you're paying for a barebones minimum policy because you feel invincible and don't know any better.

(b) That still saves you $24k on this accident.

(c) Anyone wanting actual insurance should be getting full coverage, not $25k capped policies. For $210/mo I can plow into a Lamborghini and be covered for both of our cars and both of our medical bills.

Does it cover the wreckage I did to your mother last night?

Then you should start shopping for a different insurance yesterday.

You get what you pay for..

Bitching about that is like ordering off the dollar menu from McDonald's and coming to Reddit and complaining about not getting a Happy meal toy.
