Credit Hire Vehicles

If your vehicle is damaged in a car accident and you need a replacement vehicle, Advantage Solicitors can help arrange a credit hire vehicle.

What is Credit Hire?

A credit hire vehicle is a temporary replacement car provided to you while your own vehicle is being repaired or replaced. Instead of paying upfront, the cost of the hire is covered on a “credit” basis, meaning payment is deferred and recovered from the at-fault party’s insurance company as part of your claim.

Why Choose Credit Hire?
  • No Upfront Costs: You won’t need to pay out of pocket for the hire vehicle.
  • Like-for-Like Replacement: We ensure the hire car is similar to your own vehicle in size, type, and specification.
  • Seamless Process: We handle all the paperwork, so you can focus on recovering from the accident.
Who is Eligible for a Credit Hire Vehicle?

You may qualify for a credit hire vehicle if:

    • The accident was not your fault.
    • Your vehicle is un-roadworthy or undergoing repairs.
    • You have a legitimate need for a replacement vehicle (e.g., for commuting, business, or family use).
