Over 100,000 road accidents were reported in the last year alone, and being left without a vehicle following a collision can be more than just an inconvenience. It can significantly disrupt daily life, work commitments, and family responsibilities. That’s why accident management companies play such a vital role in helping drivers navigate the often stressful aftermath of a road traffic accident.
From dealing with insurers to arranging vehicle repairs and sourcing replacement vehicles, these companies offer end-to-end support. And as the UK transitions toward cleaner transport solutions, the inclusion of electric vehicle (EV) replacements is becoming a smarter, greener, and more efficient option. Benefitting both the customer and the environment!
In this blog post, we’ll explore what accident management companies do and why timely vehicle replacement is crucial. Plus, how EVision Electric Vehicles is leading the way in supporting these companies with reliable, sustainable EV rentals.
What Are Accident Management Companies?
Accident management companies exist to help motorists through the complicated and often frustrating process that follows a vehicle accident. Acting as an intermediary between the driver, insurance providers, repair shops, and sometimes even legal teams. These companies aim to take the pressure off the individual and streamline the recovery process.
Here’s how they typically assist:
- Liaising with Insurers: They communicate with the driver’s insurance provider and sometimes the third party’s. As well as help navigate policy terms, excesses, liability, and claim documentation.
- Arranging Repairs: Once the insurance claim is processed, the accident management company will arrange for the vehicle to be transported to a trusted garage or repair centre. They often have networks of approved repairers to ensure work is completed to a high standard and within a reasonable timeframe.
- Providing Replacement Vehicles: Crucially, they source and supply a like-for-like replacement vehicle for the duration of the repair period. This is where having access to a fleet of reliable vehicles becomes essential.
Traditionally, this service has involved internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. However, in a market increasingly shifting towards electric, that’s changing fast.
Why Replacement Vehicles Matter So Much
Being involved in an accident can be a deeply stressful experience, and not just because of the damage to the vehicle. For many people, a car is more than a mode of transport. It’s a lifeline for work, school runs, healthcare appointments, and family commitments.
When a vehicle is off the road, the clock starts ticking. Customers expect immediate support, and being without a replacement for even 24 hours can create significant disruption. That’s why accident management companies prioritise getting a suitable vehicle to their customer as quickly as possible. Ideally, the same day.
This is where electric vehicles are beginning to shine. With growing availability, minimal maintenance requirements, and lower running costs, EVs offer a future-ready solution.
Why EVs Are a Smart Replacement Choice
More and more drivers are switching to electric vehicles, whether through ownership, hiring, or company car schemes. As a result, accident management companies are increasingly encountering clients who drive EVs or who expect one as a like-for-like replacement.
There are several reasons why offering EV replacements makes good sense:
- Futureproofing Services: As the UK moves closer to 2030, when the sale of new petrol and diesel cars will be banned, it’s crucial that service providers evolve their offerings to stay relevant.
- Cost Efficiency: EVs have fewer moving parts and lower maintenance costs. Reducing the overall expenses for accident management companies in the long term.
- Customer Satisfaction: EV drivers tend to be enthusiastic about their vehicles and expect a comparable experience when a replacement is issued. Supplying an EV ensures customer satisfaction and supports brand loyalty.
- Environmental Benefits: Replacing a damaged vehicle with an electric one reduces emissions and supports broader sustainability goals.
