What Is a Like-for-Like Replacement Car?

A like-for-like replacement car is a vehicle that matches the type, size, and purpose of your own vehicle.

For example:

  • If you drive a family car, you receive a similar car
  • If you drive a van, you receive a working van
  • If you are a taxi driver, you receive a fully equipped taxi
  • If you are a driving vehicle instructor, you receive a dual-control car.
  • This ensures you can continue your normal daily routine or work with minimal disruption after an accident.

Like-for-Like Replacement Car vs Courtesy Car

What’s the difference between like-for-like vs courtesy car?

Many insurance companies offer a courtesy car, but these are often:

  • Smaller than your own vehicle
  • Limited in availability
  • Not suitable for work purposes

Whereas a like-for-like replacement vehicle is different:

  • Matches your vehicle type
  • Supports your work or lifestyle
  • Provided when you are not at fault

This means you stay fully mobile without compromise.

  • Fast delivery, typically within 24 hours
  • Specialist support for all drivers including taxi drivers

You’ll be back earning in no time with a vehicle that meets all taxi licensing requirements.
