I've also experienced this.
I recently had my front and rear bumpers privately repaired and resprayed (Someone smashed into the back.. hit and run, and the front was just stone chips) and it cost me £500 all in.
I however remember from my prang 4 years ago where a wing and door were replaced/repaired respectively that the insurance company's approved repairer (And this was with Norwich Union.. now Aviva) charged almost 2k for in total (Hire car for just 3 days).
Disgraceful.
