How Household Appliance Repairer Alan Barrie Used Short Term Car Cover to Avoid Disaster

Alan Barry is a Liverpool-based appliance repairer. He travels round the UK repairing people's tellys, washers and waste disposals. He also travels round Europe looking for the best deals on parts, supplies and accessories.

Alan is a firm believer in short term car insurance from this website cover because he knows from first-hand experience how it can help travellers avoid disaster while on the go.

This is the case because Alan had an adventure in London that made him a firm believer in preparing for contingencies.  For instance he NEVER failed to renew his home insurance policies!

Alan's adventure began one June morning when he went to pick up his wife Meg in London in a borrowed lorry. Everything was fine until Alan and Meg were traveling towards the M25. As they were travelling along Durham Road, their lorry's back tyres went flat after they ran over some nails that were on the road.

Alan and Meg were in serious trouble. However, Alan's defensive driving training helped him to slow the lorry down gradually till they could coast to a stop.

Alan and Meg coasted their lorry near a takeaway shop on Durham Road. When they got out of their lorry, Meg and Alan discovered that their lorry's real axle was in shambles because it skidded on the ground while Alan was slowing the lorry down. Moreover, the lorry's rear tyres were shredded beyond repair.

As a result, Alan and Meg needed help to get home. This was especially important because Meg had a huge presentation to give on the elasticity of demand for baked goods at her office in two days. Moreover, Alan had to get back home soon in order to meet the increased demand for his services.

This inspired Meg to ring the police to report the accident. While she was talking to the police, Alan phoned his Liverpool insurance agent to inquire about using his short term policy's travel benefits.

The agent told Alan that the agency would be happy to help him once they received a copy of the accident report.

Meg was able to get an accident report from the bobbies working nearby. She faxed the report over to Alan's agent straight away. In less than hour, Alan's agent rang Meg and Alan to explain how they could help them get home.

Alan's policy from here included provisions that helped Meg and Alan hire a rental car for the journey back home. The policy's provisions also included a free towing service that helped the couple tow their lorry to a London repair shop for expert repairs.

These provisions helped Alan avoid a serious financial disaster because it helped pay for repairs and services that he couldn't otherwise afford. Moreover, Alan's policy also helped him get home to Liverpool to handle a record bundle of requests for his services.

Nowadays, Meg and Alan continue to do what they love. Meg still works for the same company that produces bakery products. Alan still repairs appliances around the UK.

Let's hope the next time Alan and Meg travel about the UK that they have fewer adventures while on the road.
