Have been advised car is written off by insurance company. What's the wait time for payment, in your experience? Need to buy a car.

Mine was seven working days with AMI. Written off on the Monday, picked up cheque the following Tuesday. Agreed value cover.

Yea poppajin that will be interesting to see what happens, if its just a subscription type thing and not test related then I don't think it has any bearing on the outcome, just compliance with authorities. Let us know , cheers.

Asking that question on a message board IMO is a waste of effort. I would be calling the insurance co to ask them. if you can get a Payout figure (in your hand) and a date you may well be able to go to your bank and get a loan until the money comes in.

When Mum's Suzi got totaled she had her money the same week as the prang and that was State.

My money arrived in less than a week. Like supernova it was insured with State.

It's 2015. Why is not within the hour of the write-off being confirmed?

because the longer the money is in the money hungry gouls hands the more interest it earns.

We are with AMI. It was about 12 to 14 days from the prang until the write off cheque arrived. That included a couple of day delay, will my wife could get to the AMI office to sign a form. That sort of time frame seemed pretty good to me.

Having been there done that from the other side can say the speed is dependant on how busy/efficient everyone in the process is AND if there are things like Police reports needed etc. Regularly used to be only a few days if straightforward, then got to weeks after company structure change. Never saw any evidence of delays being caused by the desire to hold onto money for longer. Just simple bad management behind delays.

My car was totally replaced within 6 days with an identical model - that just happened to be a fraction newer than the one that got written off. That was through the predecessors to Classic Cover - who use Vero.

Turned out ok, insurance wrote it off and paid out $8500, she probably would,nt have got that on a trade.
