What’s a Courtesy Car For?
A courtesy car is a temporary replacement vehicle provided while your own car is being repaired.
It gives you transport during the repair period so your daily routine stays normal.
At RSC Body Centre, our courtesy car service is designed to help customers after:
- Road traffic accidents
- Insurance claims
- Non fault accidents
- Bodywork repairs
- Paint damage repairs
- Accident management claims
Who Can Use a Courtesy Car Service?
Most drivers can qualify for a courtesy car during repairs.
This often depends on:
- Your insurance policy
- Fault or non fault accident status
- Repair type
- Vehicle availability
- Accident management support
If your accident was not your fault, you may also qualify for a replacement vehicle through accident management services.
Our team helps guide you through the process.
Courtesy Cars for Non Fault Accidents
If another driver caused the accident, you may be entitled to a like for like replacement vehicle.
This means you could receive a similar vehicle size and type while your own car is repaired.
That matters if you drive:
- A family SUV
- A business van
- An executive vehicle
- A larger estate car
Our accident management team can help organise this quickly so you are not left waiting around.
