Require insurance companies to replace car like for like, rather than value.
The most important thing with your car is reliability. You car might only be worth 3 grand, but when it's your car and you know there are no faults with it, that car can't be replaced. Require insurance companies to provide you with like for like with a guarantee that all is in good working order.
Had an accident. The value I would get for car is £3.5 grand. I could buy the same car with this if I could travel 150 miles, but no guarantees that it was near the condition ours was in and wouldn't end up costing us a fortune in repairs. To buy a car that was the same as the one we had (which was 3 years old at purchase, 50k miles, £7.5k) would now cost £13500. Whichever way this is looked at, we will be losing out significantly, and this isn't right when in a no fault accident.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The terms of insurance policies are a contractual matter between the insurer and the consumer.
