Help with towing company shizzle?

[Jamezo]

We pay for the first day of storage and then you are notified. If the police didnt notify you that it had been recovered then we are liable to pay for the excess storage costs. You can't clear the vehicle in the police system unless you do notify them however.

When you report your car stolen you are asked if it is ok for us to tow it when we find it. If you said yes then you pay for the tow, if you say no we dont tow.

Your insurance company covers all the towage costs in any case.

Oh and its "write" not "right" college boy.

The bike was towed because it was unridable, and I was departing in an ambulance. I wasn't exactly given a choice in the matter.

The Officer at the scene said towage would be $200 (I believe that is fairly accurate, for the straight towage fee), and that it could be claimed on insurance (this does extend to the other party's liability, surely?)

What's this about being notified? Cleared in Police system?

I know when I was in the same situation as you my bike got towed to a yard somewhere. Then I claimed my bike on the person that hit me's insurance - which they paid out and effectively "bought" my bike and any towing fees etc that it incured So this might aply to you??

If the accident is not your fault, then the person who caused the accident will have to pay - if he has insurance (even third party) it will have to pay for the towage and the storage fee and the replacement of you bike + any hostpitalbe (sp) bills and you could try to get money for not being able to work. If he does not have insurance then you will have to go to the disputes tribunal (and good luck)

If you caused the accident and have 3rd party then your insurance will cover any damamges done to the car (im assuming you hit a car) but as far as towage is concerd you will have to pay for it (on full insurance its a bit differnt).

How ever as you were not informed of your bike being ready to be picked up you can (as dover said) write a letter to the police or whoever neccary and try to get out of it that way.

Good luck. (and dont be a dick on the roads)

Hence lies the problem. I want to get the bike out and stop any more fees being incurred, but I won't get the insurance compensation, if any, until I successfully make a claim on the guy's insurance. I don't have two scheckels to rub together.

Have you called to towing company yet and explained this to them?

another thought is, if you can get an insurance payout, just leave the bike there......
