Why Us
Rin Kim Intro 1.jpg

Rental Cars Carry CTP Insurance

Rental cars registered in Queensland carry Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance, just like any other registered vehicle. If a driver caused or contributed to your injuries, a claim may be made to their vehicle’s CTP insurer.

We’ll identify the right insurer & lodge your claim for you.

Hire Insurance Isn't Injury Insurance

The insurance or damage cover in your rental agreement usually relates to the vehicle, not your injuries. Injury claims generally go through CTP instead.

We’ll explain how the two fit together & point your claim in the right direction.

If You Live Interstate Or Overseas

Visitors injured in a Queensland crash may still be able to claim, even if they’ve since returned home.

We’ll handle the claim remotely & keep you updated wherever you are.

Early Steps Make A Difference

Rental car claims have strict deadlines, and hire records, photos & witness details are easiest to secure soon after the crash.

Request Your Free Case Review, & a senior lawyer will reach you within 24 hours to help keep your claim on schedule & your evidence intact.

Key Things To Know About Rental Car Accident Claims

01

Your Hire Agreement Covers The Car, Not You

Your rental agreement explains damage cover & excess, but it rarely deals with injury claims.

Keep a copy all the same. We’ll review the fine print for anything relevant to your claim.

02

Report The Crash To The Hire Company

Most hire agreements require crashes to be reported promptly.

A prompt report can also strengthen your injury claim. We’ll check that it accurately reflects what happened.

03

Unfamiliar Roads Don't Mean You're At Fault

Being new to an area doesn’t automatically make you responsible for a crash.

Fault depends on what actually happened. We’ll look at the evidence & give you our honest view.

04

Time Limits Matter

Rental car accident claims involve strict deadlines & procedural requirements. Missing them can put a claim at risk.
