If you have insurance and have been in an accident, you might be relieved to be able to find a suitable hire car to keep on with your business. The good news is that any respectable insurance will issue you a hire car with the right licence for usage in your neighbourhood. Although you might think everything would go perfectly, issues could surface months later when the business you hired to rent the vehicle reports they have not been able to recoup their expenses. Should you find yourself unable to pay, this could result in unanticipated expenses and perhaps a court summons. Reading and knowing the terms and conditions of your credit hire agreement is therefore absolutely vital before you sign it.

If you’ve been in a car accident and had to hire a replacement vehicle on credit, it’s important to understand how the process works. The firm running the automobile uses a credit hire approach, hence when you acquired the car you signed a credit hire agreement.

Though it could appear difficult, working with the credit hire firm will help to guarantee that they can reimburse your insurance provider for their expenses. The court records and solicitor you obtain are trying to reimburse payments from your insurer, not personally pursue you.

Although this procedure can be challenging, dealing with a seasoned personal injury solicitor can assist to lighten the load. Having handled credit hire claims for many years, SilverOak Solicitors can help you through the procedure to get the best result for your case.

As part of the credit hire process, you may be required to answer many questions, such as why you needed the vehicle, why you chose to work after the accident, whether you could have hired a vehicle using your own funds, and more. These questions are often asked to ensure that you are not involved in any fraudulent activity. However, you must also be careful because these questions may be used to make you look like the guilty party.

Our experienced personal injury solicitor can help you navigate this process successfully and avoid admitting guilt unintentionally or becoming liable for the costs yourself. If the fault lies with your insurance provider, they are responsible for paying the charges, and a solicitor can help ensure that they fulfil their obligations.
