The Dutch car (Scrabble?) lights insurance companies for tens of millions of per year.

At least one in ten of the repairs, there is work that is poorly or not at all are performed, scams or high bills that declared. The VVV (Dutch association of Insurers), finds that after an investigation. It pertained to covert samples in which 500 blikschadereparaties under the microscope were taken. “Experts discovered that non-used parts have been taken into account and activities are not or only limited were carried out, for example, not replacing but uitdeuken of sheet metal. This was calculated for spray regularly not or hardly to have occurred.”

On average, turned out that the repair cost of the 500 controlled cars 18% cheaper than those claimed, with peaks well above 50%. The average benefit amounts to 1926 euro and if you that time at 700,000 cascoreparaties per year and a few hundred thousand WA-damages then you don’t need rekenwonder to understand that it is a lot of, quite a lot of money. Money end we, incidentally, pay through our insurance premiums.

The outcome surprised the TOURIST office, they had expected some tampering to make it but find it unacceptable and reprehensible that it is in so many places happens. The autoschadeherstelbranche by the Covenant called quickly to take adequate measures. Together with the TOURIST worked Achmea, Aegon, Allianz, ASR, Delta Lloyd, Generali, National-Nederlanden and Reaal participated in the survey.
