What is Vehicle Replacement?

The term vehicle replacement is the process of acquiring a new vehicle to replace the current vehicle you are using. We get the replacement vehicle when the old vehicle is damaged or is written off in an accident, or the vehicle is stolen and is not recovered. To get a comparable vehicle to continue driving while your vehicle is repaired or replaced.
The process of replacing a vehicle is associated with your insurance coverage, which can help you pay the cost of a replacement vehicle. We need to review your insurance policy to check if you are eligible for the replacement vehicle.
Your insurance company will pay the vehicle replacement cost to replace the car if it is damaged or stolen.

PCO, Standard and Prestige vehicles

The word PCO means Public Carriage Office and refers to having a license required to drive a taxi or minicab in London; a prestige vehicle is a luxury vehicle like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and Porsche.
The PCO license is issued by Transport for London, which is necessary to legally drive a private hire vehicle.
The standard vehicles can be driven with a regular driving license; these include passenger vehicles, motorbikes and medium-sized vehicles like vans.
Report Your Insurance

After the road traffic accident, we need to contact our insurance representative to inform them about the accident. Tell your insurance how the accident happened and provide them the evidence for review.
Keep a record of the repair invoices so you can recover the repair cost as a part of your claim.

When to Return the Replacement Vehicle

The time limit to return the replacement vehicle depends on the accident circumstances and the damages to the vehicle:

If the vehicle is repairable, the non-fault driver can keep the replacement vehicle until his vehicle is repaired satisfactorily. Once the repaired vehicle is returned, the replacement vehicle is collected within 24 hours. The process is handled and managed by the accident management companies.

Time-frame for Replacement Vehicle

Accident management companies need to mitigate the losses and damages suffered by the injured party.
If you are not responsible for the road accident, the provision of a replacement vehicle by an accident management company is to reduce your losses. Without a vehicle, you could have additional losses like the cost of public transportation, the inconvenience when you are not able to drive to work, and the other losses because of the inconvenience.
By using a replacement vehicle, you’re taking steps to minimise additional losses, your obligation to mitigate losses.

Vehicle Age Limit

There are certain limitations to having a replacement vehicle from your insurance. The insurance policies cover only vehicles up to an age limit of not more than 2 to 3 years. Also, we need to have comprehensive insurance coverage on your policy to be eligible for vehicle replacement insurance.
The vehicle age limitation is because the insurance companies want to make sure that they are replacing new vehicles. The reason for this is that new vehicles have higher values and are more expensive for vehicle replacement. By setting a vehicle age limit, insurance companies can manage their risks and provide coverage for vehicles.
