Can I Choose Right2Drive?

Sometimes, it can be a difficult decision on what to do after a car accident. Where do I take my car to be repaired? How do I get my hands on a replacement car while mine is being fixed? Often, these questions are answered by your insurer as they book you in to have your car assessed at one of their preferred smash repairers. Some may offer to arrange a rental car for you from a rental car company if you’re not at-fault.If you are lucky enough to be offered a car from a rental car company some questions to ask are:<ul><li>Do I need to pay for the rental car?</li><li>Do I need to pay a bond?</li><li>How do I get to the car rental company?</li><li>What kind of car will I get?</li><li>What’s the insurance excess if I have an accident in the vehicle?</li><li>How long can I have the car for?</li></ul><h2>You don’t have to rely on your insurer to provide you a car</h2>If you find yourself in a car accident and not at-fault, you have the right to a loan car whilst your car is repaired or notified of a total loss. Best of all, you have the right to choose your own provider of the loan car and there are businesses which specialise specifically in accident loan cars. Some of the benefits of applying for a loan car with Right2Drive, Australia’s largest provider include:<ul><li>We will recover the costs of the loan car from the at-fault party’s insurer on your behalf&nbsp;so there are no out of pocket costs for the rental car.&nbsp;You will still need to pay for costs you would incur normally in your own car such as fuel, tolls, traffic infringements etc.</li><li>We don’t require for you to pay a bond</li><li>We will deliver the car to you. We can meet you at the repairer, your home or office</li><li>We will provide you with a car similar to your own to help your life get back to normal</li><li>We provide a zero insurance excess so you can drive our car with peace of mind</li><li>You can typically have the car for the duration of repairs or until you are notified of total loss settlement</li></ul><h2>What if your insurer says you can’t use Right2Drive</h2>It’s your right to choose Right2Drive as a consumer.
