I was recently involved in an at fault car accident and gave my licence and contact details to the other driver.. I contaced my insurance company and got a claim no and gave it to the other driver..
I recently received a phone call from a hire car company who gave the other drivers name and
enquired about the excess with my insurance company. I informed them that they need to speak to my insurance company.
I rang my insurance company and they said to forward anything to them. I mentioned I hadn't received anything just had a call.
A relative has contacted me today advising they have received a letter addressed to me. I asked them to open it and it was
a letter of demand from the hire car company for over $3,000.00. Why do I have insurance?

i was once in a similar position when we had a fire in a flat, and the water from the firies, damaged the flat under us
Just do what your insurance company said - ie forward the letter to them,. They will take care of it

The hire car was for the other party. I don't have hire car cover on my insurance policy.
The hire car company doesn't have my address obviously and have sent the letter of demand to the relative.
I have an unusual surname and there aren't many in my state.

My drivers' licence and insurance policy have my correct address. Don't understand why it wasn't sent to the insurance company and now I'm worried I'll be stuck with the bill.

4th time: forward information to your insurance company.
