Hire car provided as loan vehicle to my wife after non-fault accident.
They asked for my DL to add me to drive, duly emailed.
Same company THEN confirmed to my wife that I WAS NOW covered on the Insurance for that vehicle.
Turns out, after no response to emails requesting written confirmation, and many calls to largely ineffectual/evasive call centres that there was NO REORD OF ME AS NAMED DRIVER, as they hadn't received any of my emails with Driving Licence details.
Spoke to originating hire car depot, and the evasive words were "if you're on her original car Insurance, you're eligible to drive the hire car" but under duress the truth was extracted which is that without sight and proof of licence details YOU ARE NOT COVERED TO DRIVE THE CAR. So I wasn't covered.
Can't trust anyone...
