Common questions

Do you deliver accident replacement vehicles to Newport?
Yes. We deliver to Newport and surrounding suburbs across Melbourne metro. Once your eligibility is confirmed we can often arrange same-day delivery.
Do I pay anything upfront?
No. 888 Car Hire operates on a credit hire basis — you receive the vehicle with zero upfront cost and we recover the hire fee directly from the at-fault insurer.
What if I don't know the at-fault driver's insurer?
If you have a police event number or the other driver's registration details, we can help locate their insurer. Even if you only have limited information, call us and we'll advise on the best path forward.
How long can I keep the replacement car?
For the full duration of your repair. When your own vehicle is returned, you return ours — there's no fixed hire period imposed on you.
What if the at-fault insurer disputes the claim?
We handle all correspondence and disputes on your behalf. Your use of the vehicle is not interrupted while we work to resolve it.
Can I get a vehicle even if I only have third-party insurance?
Yes. The claim is made against the at-fault driver's insurer — not your own. Your level of insurance cover does not affect your entitlement to a replacement vehicle.
