I have a friend who managed to write off a brand new Jetta after only 29 days of ownership in 2008. His insurance company paid him 75% of the purchase price. It took about 3 months for them to pay up.

I cant remember any of our cars being repaired by an insurance company when I was younger. Even when my dad's 1 year old Pug 505 was stolen in '87, it was never replaced even though we always had insurance with NICON. I am not sure if the policies were comprehensive though, maybe just 3rd party.

Fhemmmy:

I thought they said the insurance in Nigeria has been overhauled and now function well?
Please note that the insurance coy dont pay the purchased price for a ride, but the book value as determined by the writter.
Sometimes, you might get more money based on the effizzy that you have added to your ride.

You dont get nothing more because of the effizzy u added to ur car. The insurance company will only pay the blue book value of the car. if you had $5,000 rims on it, thats ur problem and not their's.

Hmmmmmmmm! Getting 75% of purchase price after about a month thats not bad. Bearing in mind the car depreciates in Value as soon as you drive it out of the shop. And then getting the cash in three months ( Naija factor in mind), your guy must have be lucky. Why not recommend that insurance firm to guys in the house.

Insurance really works in Nigeria. I have spent more than 15 years in dis industry and I cannot count d number of claims cheques I have signed. Yes I agree with u dat it is not all claims that r settled. They might not have been settled or fully settled because of d following:

1. If d amount claimed is less than d Excess
2. If d claim is not genuine e.g d plate number on our record is diff from what is in d licesing o. Office or if on our records, it is Sienna u insure but at d time of making claim, it is a nissan claim dat u brought.
3. Improper documentation or inadequate evidential documents on d part of d claimant
4. Under insurance
5. If d asset insured is used for d purpose outside d one indicated in d policy
6. If a vehicle is been driven by a minor at d point of claim.
7. Insincerity - Misrepresentation; Fraudulent or Innocent
8. Non payment of Premium

So, outside d above, I don,t see why ur claim should not be settled.

For d man dat got abt 75% of his claim, I guess he did not buy Excess and unfortunately, d universal total loss Excess rate is 10% of claim.
