Shortest Period Between Insurance Claims

[randomcharacter]

I left my house this morning to find that someone had keyed all down the side of my car. Still fuming, I took pictures and submitted an online claim (my first in at least a decade!) to my insurers.

A couple of hours later, I popped into the doctors... but not before having a collision with a car that was reversing out of a parking space. I've just finished submitting this as an online claim (my first in at least two hours!) to my insurers.

Can anyone beat this record?

Can't beat that, but I did write a car off within 5 hours of picking it up.

The phrase 'watch this' was not involved, on this occasion.

My other half had two incidents within 30 seconds.

Parked in a car parking space, chap pulls in in a Range Rover - rubs his front bumper down both passenger side doors. As my wife gets out, looks in door mirror, clear, then a woman came bombing in from no where and caught the drivers door as it was opening. Opened up a Toyota Aygo like a tin of beans, no way she was doing speeds suitable for a car park.

Ended up the guy in the Range paid our local bodyshop for his damage to us, then the door and Aygo went through 50/50 insurance.

If it's the time between the incidents, then surely when mulitple cars are involved they will potentially happen within seconds. But also, may involve claims on different policies.

I think the criteria needs to be tightened up.

Multiple claims on the same policy within the shortest time.

That’s going to be hard to beat!

Many years ago my missus at the time crashed my car into my other car. Does that count as two?

I've had that also, a few years ago. My father-in-law drove my Civic through my garage door, pushing my much-loved Ferrari into the back wall of the garage (a fridge freezer was further collateral damage).

Many years ago, my then neighbor , crashed one of his cars into the other. He was building a cobra replica that was all finished bar the shouting & on axle stands in his garage. The garage door was open. He put his other car into reverse so he could shut the garage door. Pushed on the accelerator, only he was in drive not reverse & promptly parked his 200zx under the cobra knocking it off the axle stands.

I did think that at the time, but I've since convinced myself that it must have been a genuine mistake. :-)
