Am I being a bit thick on this? I can't really see what you're getting, other than Audi making sure that they get the repair work.

I'd be very happy to have Audi get the repair work and do it properly than for the lowest-bidder bondo merchant's to do it to shoddy standards with aftermarket parts.

Seems like a no-brainer to me

Am I right in reading that the legal expense cover is also free? Only a small saving but is an incentive.

maybe I am being thick but it seems to me that the reasoning from Audi is to get the repair work through their network ; as it is the insurance company who agrees the cost of repairs this would infer that Audi would meet them on the price in order to achieve this

or am i missing something ?

I think it depends ...
If it is the third party at fault, they will recover all the costs for a genuine Audi repair and Audi hire car.

If it is 50:50 or your fault, they will use it to insist on a repair via the dealer network rather than Just Car Clinic or similar and know the reasons why this should be and what evidence to submit. You have the right to choose any VBRA-approved bodyshop, but insurance companies can make it difficult such as by saying you have to pay yourself and then claim it back after waiting 3 months, but Audi will deal with all this rubbish for you.

Is this not effectively just and Audi sponsored accident management company? I suspect this will make them some £££

I think that's probably pretty much spot on: they "manage" this for you, and then take their cut/make their profit, on behalf on whoever is sponsoring/managing them.

I had the same with my recent (no fault) claim on my Tesla - the other party's insurer (Co-op) put me in touch with another "accident management company" who's primary interest was to act on behalf of them and manage their costs.

Adding another layer of intermediary just adds more cost, somewhere along the way.
