for NSW Drivers

If you have been involved in a car or motorbike accident in NSW and you were not at fault, you have the right to an accident replacement vehicle while your own is being repaired or assessed.
CrashClaim arranges and manages not-at-fault accident replacement vehicles for drivers and riders across NSW. We organise a suitable accident replacement vehicle quickly, deliver it where you need it, and recover the reasonable costs directly from the at-fault insurer.
There is no upfront cost for eligible not-at-fault drivers. Everything is explained clearly, so you know exactly where you stand.
What is a not-at-fault
accident replacement vehicle?
A not-at-fault accident replacement vehicle is an accident replacement vehicle
provided when all of the following apply:
- You were not responsible for the accident
- Your vehicle is unsafe, unroadworthy, or under repair
- The at-fault driver has been identified
In NSW, the at-fault insurer is responsible for the reasonable cost of providing a like-for-like accident replacement vehicle.
CrashClaim manages this process end to end, ensuring you stay mobile without the stress of dealing with insurers directly or arguing about your rights.

evidence - Applying NSW road rules to explain liability

You do not need to argue with insurers yourself. We manage the discussion clearly and professionally.
