Answers:
what is liability insurance and when do I use it?
You shouldn't, you need liability only why cover a car that has no value? You don't have to cover the car in order to cover your personal liability. Just call your insurance provider and set up a personal insurance review and they can go over all of your options.I was Just in A Hit and Run 4 car accident! What would be the best action to take?
When cars or trucks have been in a accident or been vandelized and it cost more than 70% of total value of the auto the Insurance Company will count it as a total loss, you only get a appraised value, it's not right but that is how it works.more information required you do not say how long ago it was worth £1000 and what condition it was in frankly I cannot see the point in insuring a car fully comp at that value

Insurance companies can only go by the book price as to whether its worth repairing or not. I can insure my old cavalier for £1000 but in reality it will be lucky to be worth half that in true value.usa driver +licence&idl needs uk car insurance/own car?
So if I claim my insurance and the cost of the repair exceeds very little combined with the cost of them supplying a courtesy car then my car will be written off for perhaps £150-£200 damage.

It may help if you told us the make,model and age of your car. The insurance companies are there to make money not be kind to people. The first offer the insurance companies come out with are always there to rip you off, get together some advert from auto trader,loot, free ads etc to show them how much it would actually cost to replace and send them in. The other problem you may have is that because you are fully comp you will proberly have a large excess on your policy.can u recommend any car insurance for 6 months rather then 1 year ?
It is completely unfair for it to be against the law for people to drive uninsured only to have to pay extortionate amounts to a profit making company.

is your deductable 500 or more that is why you may have not been paid !How much is a speeding ticket when you go 21 miles above the speed limit in New York state...?
Unsure about there -- in the States if cost of repairs exceed the value or a set percentage of the value, the vehicle is declared a total loss and the insurer pays you the ACV (actual cash value) for your vehicle. Could be that this is the same case or you have a large deductible.My husband got in a small car accident. Now she wants us to rent her a car ?
Because your car IS worthless as far as the insurance company is concerned. With a car of such a low value, it's not worth carrying fully comp cover. It's really not worth carrying TPF&T either. Stick with TPO (statutory cover) and save some dosh.Do you think this is a little high?
If your excess was £500 or more, they would not owe you anything on a claim of £500.
