Find Out How Compexit Rent a Car Cluj Helps You

 

Have you been involved in an accident and your car needs repairs? Did you know that you are entitled to receive a free replacement car, without paying anything yourself? If you are not at fault, the guilty driver’s insurance covers all costs – and we, the Compexit Rent a Car team, handle everything for you!

In this article, we explain simply and clearly how the process works and how you can quickly and stress-free get a replacement car.

📘 What does the law say?

According to Romanian legislation (Law no. 132/2017 and ASF Regulation no. 18/2022), if you are the injured party in a traffic accident, you can rent a car for the repair period and the costs will be fully covered by the guilty party’s insurer.

Moreover, recent rulings (Government Decision no. 298/2023 and Government Decision no. 1326/2023) strengthen this right and specify that the replacement car must be similar to the damaged one, so you won’t feel any difference when using it.

✅ In what situations can you get a FREE replacement car?

  • Your car cannot be used
    If it is damaged and immobilized in the service center, you are entitled to a free replacement car for up to 30 days.

  • Your car is functional, but you have the insurer’s approval
    Even if your car can still run, you may get a free replacement car if the insurance company gives its consent.

  • Your car is a total loss
    In this case, you may get a free rental car, but under certain conditions: the car must be unavailable, and the total reimbursed value must not exceed 25% of your car’s market value.

🔧 Choose Compexit Rent a Car? We take care of everything!

If you decide to repair your car in a partner service center, you automatically benefit from:

  • Free replacement car, delivered quickly;

  • Direct collaboration between the service center, the insurer, and the rental company – you don’t need to do anything;

  • Assistance throughout the entire repair process.

Everything is at no cost to you – billing is done directly to the insurer.

🔍 How to get your free replacement car?

Step 1: Notify the guilty driver’s insurance company and open a damage file.
Step 2: Gather the required documents (amicable report or police report, repair estimate, proof that the car is in the service center).
Step 3: Choose a car rental company – for example, Compexit Rent a Car 😉
Step 4: We provide the replacement car, and you receive the invoice, contract, and proof of payment.
Step 5: We send all documents to the insurer for reimbursement.

👉 You don’t pay anything!

🚘 What kind of car will you get?

The law is clear: you are entitled to a car from the same class and category as the damaged one. This means that if you were driving an SUV, you won’t get a small city car. We make sure you receive a comfortable vehicle suited to your needs.

⏳ How long can you use the replacement car?

The duration depends on the repairs, but in general, you can use the free replacement car between 1 and 30 days. Everything is based on the repair estimate issued by the service center.
