How to get a replacement car if you are involved in an accident

If you’ve been involved in a car accident involving your own car and you need a replacement vehicle, you’ve come to the right place. With VroomVroomVroom, you can easily book a replacement car for as long as you need, allowing you to keep moving while your own vehicle is being assessed or repaired.

Will my personal insurance cover a rental car?

Many insurance companies will include options for substitute vehicles in the event yours is damaged and cannot be driven. However, this is a conversation you’ll need to have with your insurance company. If you aren’t covered for a replacement car, renting a vehicle in the interim is a simple and convenient alternative, and VroomVroomVroom makes it easy to compare rates on Australia’s major rental providers, including Avis, Budget, East Coast, Enterprise, Europcar, Hertz, and Thrifty.

How do I get a rental car after an accident?

Unless your insurance company is organising a vehicle for you, the process of getting a rental car is the same as if you were booking for a holiday. With VroomVroomVroom, you can search under your location for depots and vehicles in your area, then book your desired car for a duration that suits you.

If you need help booking a rental vehicle following a car accident, feel free to contact us. Please note, however, that we cannot offer advice on insurance coverage regarding your personal vehicle.
