The customer will prolly need three quotes depending on how much its going to be they may get the go ahead straight away or they might send loss aduster, find out how much excess they have on there policy and find out who paying you them or insurance firm might take a while if the later do it, i cover there excess in my qoute for promt payment by customer in return

Only if the insurance firm gives the green light , small claims say under a thousand they just seem to do but in this case they will want to know more i would have thought.

insurance quotes I do usual price plus 20%ish.
I also sometimes charge £20 for the quote cos they are sometimes just collecting them but know who they want and if you don't get it you've done it for nowt.
I always tell em I'll knock it off price if I get the job tho
