A replacement car is a vehicle that you can get while your damaged car is being repaired. This is a very useful option that allows you to avoid the problems associated with not having your own means of transportation. However, you are not always entitled to a replacement auto. In this article we will explain when you can count on such assistance and what conditions you must meet.
Replacement car after an accident?
You are entitled to a replacement car when your car is damaged as a result of a collision or traffic accident for which you are not responsible. In this case, you can apply for a replacement car from the insurer of the perpetrator of the incident. However, you must prove that the repair of your vehicle is necessary and that you need a replacement auto for professional or private purposes.
If, on the other hand, you are the perpetrator of the collision or accident, you may be entitled to a replacement auto only if you have purchased auto insurance (AC). Then you can use a replacement auto offered by your insurer, if such an option is included in your policy. The terms and conditions for obtaining a replacement auto may vary from one insurance company to another, so you should familiarize yourself with them before signing the contract.
