Credit hire


Chief Rentals has been providing accident replacement vehicles on credit hire for over twenty years. Credit hire is a simple concept - essentially if you or your client has been in a road traffic accident where they were not at fault, we can supply an accident replacement vehicle and allow a period of credit for the rental charges to be paid by the at-fault party.

The daily hire rates we charge are determined by the Association of British Insurers' General Terms of Agreement, to which Chief Rentals is a subscriber. Under this agreement, the at-fault party's insurer is invoiced for the car hire at the agreed rates and the bill is settled directly.

When renting an accident replacement vehicle on credit-hire from Chief Rentals, the client will be asked to sign a credit-hire agreement that clearly lays out the terms of hire, the charges and the period of credit.

Intervention hire

As one of Britain's biggest suppliers of non-standard vehicles, Chief Rentals is a major supplier of prestige cars, taxis, chauffeur cars, motorhomes, vans and dual control vehicles to the insurance industry.

We provide motor insurers with replacement non-standard vehicles where their client is at-fault, enabling the third party to maintain mobility and saving the insurer an expensive and time consuming third-party claim.

Chief Rentals is one of Britain's biggest suppliers of non-standard vehicles in the country and provides everything from refrigerated vans to top-of-the-range chauffeur cars.

Corporate fleet solutions


'Chief Rentals Corporate Fleet Solutions' is a separate business unit within the company which focuses on the specialist needs of the fleet management sector.
We provide a menu of services which enables fleet customers to select only those services they require – everything from simple credit-hire right through to full accident management.

Chief Rentals Corporate Fleet Solutions offers total flexibility, allowing fleet customers to select only the services which complement their own business models. We work with a wide range of clients including corporate fleets, leasing companies, motor insurers and brokers.

As one of Britain's biggest suppliers of non-standard vehicles, Chief Rentals is the sensible choice if a fleet includes vehicle types other than just standard cars. We can provide all vehicle types including prestige, super-prestige and virtually any light commercial vehicle that might be required, even refrigerated vans, tipper trucks and crew-cabs.
