What could be more frustrating than being involved in an accident that wasn’t your fault and then having your main mode of transport – your everyday vehicle –damaged so that it requires repairs that could take weeks if not months to fix? How would that impact your day-to-day life if you didn’t have your vehicle?

Luckily you have plenty of rights under Australian law if the accident wasn’t your fault. Accident replacement vehicle specialists may be able to help get you back on the road in a short amount of time.

What is an accident replacement vehicle?

Accidents are an unfortunate fact of life for most drivers. And while the best-case scenario is that the accident simply results in minor superficial damage, in a lot of cases there is serious damage that means one or more of the vehicles becomes unroadworthy.

In these instances, your mode of transport could be unavailable to you for an extended period – but you’ll still need to travel around for work, school, grocery shopping and more. What’s the solution?

If you have been involved in an accident that was not your fault, an accident replacement vehicle specialist may be able to assist.
