Not At Fault Car Hire in Waikato, Bay of Plenty & Auckland

Faultless Cars NZ provides accident replacement cars for drivers who weren't at fault in a crash. We deliver a replacement car while yours is repaired, and claim the daily hire from the at-fault driver's insurer. Subject to eligibility and insurer acceptance.

What Is Not At Fault Car Hire?

If someone else caused your crash, you may not have to go without a car. You may be able to claim the reasonable cost of a similar car from the at-fault driver or their insurer while yours is off the road. This is called not-at-fault car hire, or an accident replacement vehicle.

​

At Faultless Cars NZ, we deliver a clean replacement car and deal with the insurer for you. You don't pay the daily hire upfront. We claim it from the at-fault driver's insurer. Fuel, tolls and fines stay with you, like your own car. You must give us true information and help with the claim.

Who Pays?

When you're not at fault, the other driver may be responsible for your reasonable losses, which can include a replacement car. We confirm the accident details with the insurers and, if you're eligible, we invoice the at-fault insurer for the daily hire. You pay fuel, tolls and fines.​
