Getting a Replacement Vehicle After an Accident

At CRASH Services we will arrange a like-for-like replacement vehicle to suit your needs. We believe you shouldn’t have to downgrade your lifestyle because of someone else’s mistake. We provide a hassle-free, replacement vehicle to keep you on the road.
Will I get a similar car to my own after a non-fault accident in Northern Ireland?
Yes. We understand that your vehicle is essential to your everyday life. While some insurers may offer you a basic, small hatchback regardless of what you actually drive, our “like-for-like” promise ensures we match your replacement to your specific needs.
We maintain an in-house hire department with a fleet of over 600 vehicles, including:
- Standard cars of all sizes.
- Prestige and executive models.
- 4x4s and SUVs.
- Commercial vehicles (including vans).
- PSV taxis (fully fitted with meters and signage).
- Dual-control vehicles for driving instructors.
If you drive it for work or personal use, we’ll do our absolute best to ensure you receive a vehicle suited to your daily requirements.
