Not at fault accidents
REPLACEMENT VEHICLES
Need a vehicle while yours is being repaired?
Being involved in a motor vehicle accident is stressful. And if you’re left without the use of your car as a result, it’s also very inconvenient!
Regardless of who was at fault in your accident, Keep On Driving can get you back on the road with minimum fuss.
Our service will ensure you’re provided with a replacement vehicle for the duration of your vehicle’s repair or until you receive your total loss settlement.
Not-at-fault replacement service
If you are able to confirm that the accident was not your fault and there is an identifiable third party, Keep On Driving can:
- Recover your damaged vehicle and transport it to an approved repairer (if it is not legally drivable)
- Arrange the estimate for repairs
- Oversee the repair process
- Provide a ‘like for like’ replacement hire vehicle whilst yours is being repaired
- Help you claim for any uninsured losses (eg insurance policy excess, hire charges, los of earnings, etc.)
- Help you access legal advice from specialist solicitors.
Replacement vehicle costs
If you are not at fault or if you have optional replacement vehicle cover, it is likely there will be no cost to you.
If you are the not-at-fault party in a motor vehicle accident, you qualify for a ‘No Fault, No Cost’ accident replacement vehicle if the at-fault driver
- has comprehensive insurance
- has Third Party property damage cover.
If you are the at-fault party, you can hire a replacement vehicle from Keep On Driving at our competitive daily rates. If you have accident replacement vehicle cover, you are entitled to recover rental costs from your own insurance.
If your vehicle is assessed to be a total loss, you may be entitled to a replacement vehicle until you receive settlement from the insurance company.
