Get back on the road with Diamond Hire Car cover

Add Hire Car cover Get a Car Insurance quote

How will you manage without your car if it's written off or stolen?

Stay on the road

If you have an accident and the third party insurer doesn't provide you with a replacement vehicle, Diamond's Hire Car upgrade will. We can provide you with a hire car for up to four weeks while we sort out your claim, if your car is written off after an insured incident or is stolen.

Flexible cover

If you choose to add Hire Car cover to your motor policy, you can expect these great benefits.

Covered for up to 28 days

A hire car for up to 28 days if your car is written off or stolen and unrecovered.

Similar sized car

You'll receive a vehicle that's similar in size to the car that you are insuring with us, with an engine size up to 2.0L and up to seven seats.

Cover for all named drivers

Cover for all named drivers with a full licence in the hire car.

£400 alternative

£400 to cover travel expenses (or anything else you like) if you choose not to take up the hire car option.

Delivered to your door

We'll deliver the hire car to your home or work, ready to drive straightaway. We'll also give you £15 complimentary fuel when the car is delivered.

Simply add Hire Car cover to your online quote by selecting the option on the price page or call us on 0333 220 2077. (Opening hours)

Why do I need Hire Car cover?

With our comprehensive insurance you get a 'Class A' courtesy car if your car is involved in an accident and is repaired at one of our approved garages. However, if your car can't be repaired or it's stolen, you could be left without a car while we sort out your claim. It's surprising how much we rely on our cars and if you've ever been without yours for any period of time, you'll know just how inconvenient it can be. With Diamond Hire Car cover, either a hire car or £400 can help you carry on without too much fuss.

Questions about Hire Car cover

We've answered some of the most commonly asked questions to help you decide.

How do I make a claim?

Call the Diamond claims line on 0333 220 2037 (Call fees | Opening hours) immediately after an insured incident. Once we confirm that your car has been written off, you'll be able to choose whether you'd prefer the hire car or the £400. If you choose the hire car, Diamond will advise Auxillis Limited, who administer the Hire Car cover on your behalf, who will then contact you to arrange a convenient time and place to deliver your hire car. Auxillis Services Limited, who provides the hire car, will then deliver your vehicle. Or if you choose the £400 we'll arrange for this to be paid to you.

How do I extend my cover?

Diamond Hire Car cover allows for up to 28 days of cover for policyholders. If you need your hire car for a longer period of time, you can extend the hire by contacting Auxillis Limited on 0344 571 2715 (Call fees | Opening hours).

How long does my Diamond Hire Car cover last?

Your Hire Car cover runs alongside your Diamond motor insurance policy. This means that cover will normally last for 12 months.
