I've just had the windcreen on mine replaced by Auto Windscreens. Again, Pilkington and no ripples etc.

I suspect your insurer will not have paid significantly more than let's say 150% of the windscreen excess on your policy. The £700 will be their book price which will be negotiated right down as part of a national volume contract.

The same occurs when an insurer covering a legal expenses policy appoints a solicitor to act on a client's behalf. The hourly rate quoted on the introductory letter from the solicitors to the client is nothing like what the insurer actually pays the legal services company.
