I got a card through from my dealers over the weekend advertising an accident helpline service.

Basically if you call, they will pick you up and take you to a Honda garage, fix the car and sort it with your insurance company direct.

It seems attractive as a) you are guaranteed to go to a Honda garage b) they promise a like-for-like courtesy car for a decent amount of time (although this is only 48 hours if accident was your fault).

Maybe it is the cars that I have owned previously, but I have never come across a scheme like that before.

If I were to call them (the dealers), what would my insurance company have to say about it? Would they care? Would I lose the benefits that I get from my motor insurance direct?
