Our Accident Recovery Process
If you are involved in a non-fault accident, it is a very unfortunate situation and a challenging one to handle on your own.
Taking a moment to think clearly is key and knowing what to do next is essential. In order to process a road traffic accident claim successfully, you need to be 100% certain that the accident wasn’t your fault.
You should still call the emergency services even if no one sufferers a severe injury. Once you have established that everyone is okay and the police are on their way, you should start a conversation with the other party to discuss what has happened.
You will either: Quickly establish who was at fault for the car crash, or it may take some time as you both believe you were not at fault. No matter what the outcome of this initial discussion is, it is important to take the other parties details and the details of any witnesses so you can begin to gather evidence for your claim.
Once all this has happened, you contact us. Either fill out our Accident Recovery callback form or call our 24/7 Accident Recovery helpline on 0330 128 1407.
Our Accident Recovery team will respond and together we can work out the best solution for recovering your vehicle.

Like For Like Vehicle Replacement
As a credit hire company, we own and have access to a very large fleet, covering all specifications of vehicles.
After an accident that wasn’t your fault, it’s unfair for you to be offered a courtesy car that doesn’t match the specifications of the car that you own and drive every day.
It is even more unfair to not have a courtesy car at all.
Your insurance company will likely not offer a like-for-like replacement after an accident if you contact them directly. Some may not offer a courtesy car whatsoever.
