How are claims handled for multi-vehicle accidents?

If you have been involved in a multi-vehicle accident, please ensure you collect the other parties' details including their: 
  • Full name.
  • Address.
  • Licence number.
  • Vehicle registration number.
  • Phone number.
  • Email address.
  • Name of their insurer.
You will need to share these details with both us and your rental car company when you begin a claim.

The claims process is different for single and multiple-vehicle accidents, and it can also differ by country.

Generally for accidents where more than one vehicle is involved, an investigation usually takes place between your rental company and the third party’s insurer. Please share the details of your rental company as the primary protection provider to the third party. However, in the US and some other countries, the investigation is between us and the other driver's insurer.

Please remember for a successful claim you must ensure you have not broken any local laws or breached your rental agreement.
