Replacement Vehicle You are entitled to a vehicle

credit to you and await payment from us once
rental costs have been recovered. The vehicle
supplied will be from an independent rental
company and normal rental conditions apply. A
credit card is usually required for most rental
companies

repairable We will obtain a copy of the repair
estimate from the panel beater to calculate how
many rental days can be claimed. These are based
on the hours authorised to repair your
vehicle. Your vehicle a total loss If your
vehicle is declared a total loss, you can
generally claim up to 14 days OR if you receive a
cheque from the insurance company first,
whichever is the sooner. If you are uninsured or
only have third party cover we can often extend
the rental up to the date the settlement cheque
is received. In every circumstance each claim is
assessed on its individual merits and we will
contact you to advise the claimable rental
period. The date we supply to you will be
accurate based on the information supplied at
time of calculation, however this date may change
if the panel beater is faced with part delays or
finds additional damage to your vehicle.
Step 6 - Submit Claim to Insurance Company Upon
completion of repairs to your vehicle or return
of the rental vehicle we will submit your claim
to the party at faults insurance company. Upon
payment of the rental vehicle costs the rental
