I have a 4200GT, which has been rear ended by a lady in a 207. It's not much damage, but it's going to be a few weeks in a hire car. Her insurance will pay for it as they have admitted liability, both her & my insurer use Enterprise and the best they can offer is an E-class. Is there any way I can get this upgraded without having to fork out £400 a day myself for something a bit nicer? How do I even approach this? I have the upgraded hire car option on my policy, which I assumed meant equivilant make & model, not a diesel 4 door saloon!
Have a chat with this chap http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/profile.asp?mem...

Have a chat with anniesdad (Steve) His company should be able to sort you out a suitable replacement vehicle.

When a nanny slammed into the back of my 360 it was 2 weeks rental with enterprise as well. I got an upgrade to a Merc CLS 320 CDI. Best they could do.
