A like-for-like replacement vehicle means you receive a vehicle that matches yours in type and size — not just any courtesy car. This is important because a standard small car is inadequate if you drive an MPV, van or PCO taxi professionally.
Under UK law, you are entitled to be put back in the same position you were in before the accident. That means a comparable vehicle — your size, your class, your usage. The at-fault driver's insurer is legally obligated to fund this.
Road Claim manages this process through our partner network, ensuring you receive the right vehicle quickly while your claim is processed. This service is part of our free non-fault accident claim service.
Many drivers are unaware that they are legally entitled to a replacement vehicle after a non-fault accident. Insurance companies often fail to mention this or try to offer inadequate alternatives.
The right to a replacement vehicle comes from the principle of restitutio in integrum — restoring you to the position you were in before the accident. The at-fault driver and their insurer are responsible for this cost, not you.
The at-fault driver's insurer may contact you quickly and offer a small, inadequate replacement vehicle or a cash settlement. This is not always your best option.
Road Claim ensures you receive a proper like-for-like vehicle and that all costs are fully recovered — not settled cheaply by the other side's insurer.
