Private hire Taxi non-fault accident claim




As a private hire taxi operator, you probably cannot afford to have your vehicle off the road for repair without getting a plated replacement to use after an accident.



What’s more, a non-fault claim on your Taxi insurance will almost certainly cost you more for your insurance in the long run.

This is where we can help.

Car Call and its partners provide both fleet solutions and owner driver non-fault accident assistance for drivers who want to minimise their insurance costs as well as get suitable replacement plated Taxi’s when theirs is in for repair.

We operate independently of insurers so you do not have to make a claim on your own Taxi insurance policy.

Our accident management service enables you to carry on working while we arrange the repairs to your Taxi, provide you with a replacement and sort out any legal assistance if you need it.

All the costs associated with your accident directly from the insurer of the at-fault driver.


A not fault claim on your policy will increase the cost of your insurance

By resolving your non-fault accident claims using our independent accident assistance service, you can keep the number of claims on your policy to the minimum and keep the cost of your insurance down.

You also don’t have to go through the drawn-out process of paying your excess and then waiting for it to be recovered by your insurance provider weeks or months later.


Can your insurer provide a plated replacement Taxi – on the same day?

Not all insurance providers will be able to offer you a suitable replacement Taxi if yours is undrivable and/or being repaired.

Car Call will provide a comparable plated and equipped replacement Taxi for you – so you can carry on your business with the minimum of disruption.

Replacement vehicles are typically delivered on the same day as you start your claim.

No need to claim on your insurance

Anyone who has been involved in a road accident has the right to choose who repairs their vehicle. If you were responsible for the accident you were involved in, the company that insures your vehicle would normally deal with your accident claim.

However if you were not at-fault for the accident, you can choose to either claim on your own insurance policy or make a claim independently of your insurer. To find out more call 02392 484 244 and we will be happy to help.

We and our partners help thousands of people make independent accident claims. Our service enables motorists to get the help and assistance they need to resolve their accident related issues, with the costs being recovered directly from the at-fault driver on your behalf.

No excess to pay

Unfortunately even if an accident was not your fault, your insurer will almost certainly require you to pay your excess before any repair is started on your car.

This money should of course be recovered by an insurer at a later date, but with our service - you do not have to pay it at all.

By using our independent claims service, you are not making a claim on your insurance policy and so you will have no excess to pay.

Receive a comparable replacement hire vehicle

Not all insurance policies will include a replacement hire-car for you to use if yours is damaged and unroadworthy. In fact it is typically an 'optional extra' on your policy.

Other policies may offer a 'courtesy car' but this is often just a 'basic' saloon or hatchback which may not be suitable for your needs.

Car Call and its partners will provide a comparable replacement vehicle as part of our service. This means we will endeavour to supply a hire-vehicle that similar to your own in terms of its type, make and engine size.

So whether you drive a small hatchback or a prestige sports car, we will look to provide a similar hire-vehicle that suits your needs.
