Stage 1 · The call
What happened, in your words.
Four services for non-fault drivers, with the risks explained before any paperwork.
We take the details once, collect the evidence that matters — photographs, witnesses, dashcam, the other driver's details — and deal with the correspondence. You get one number to call and an honest answer about where the claim actually stands, including when it is going badly.
What happened, in your words.
Gathered while it still exists.
Insurers informed properly.
Including bad news, promptly.
From the roadside or your address.
Damage assessed and documented.
Approved repairer, or your own.
Guaranteed, and checked on return.
We can recover and store the vehicle and manage the repair through an approved repairer who guarantees the work. You are entitled to use any repairer you like, including your manufacturer's dealer to protect a warranty, and we will say so rather than steering you.
This is the part the industry is criticised for, so we are blunt about it. Credit hire is a contract between you and us. If the claim fails, or you are found partly at fault, or the charges are not recovered in full, you are personally liable for the hire. We show you the daily rate and that liability in writing, and we will tell you when going through your own insurer would cost you less.
Whether you are actually entitled.
Your liability, in writing, first.
Including using your own insurer.
Vehicle supplied, if you still want it.
Excess, earnings, expenses, travel.
Receipts and payslips gathered.
Claimed from the party at fault.
Referred to an independent solicitor.
Policy excess, lost earnings and expenses are recoverable from the party at fault and are routinely forgotten. If you have been injured, that is legal work: we refer you to an independent SRA-regulated firm, we receive no referral fee for it, and you can also claim low-value injury yourself for free through the Official Injury Claim service.
A free first call on your real options, including the ones that do not involve us.
