Fleet Accident Management & Replacement Vehicles

PurpleSquare Hire provides fleet operators with fast replacement vehicles when accidents happen. From cars and vans to specialist taxis and commercial vehicles, we keep your fleet moving with nationwide coverage and a single point of contact.

Fleet accident management explained

Fleet accident management is the end-to-end handling of vehicle incidents on behalf of the fleet operator - FNOL capture, repair coordination, replacement vehicles, and claims recovery. Done well, it minimises downtime, protects driver productivity, and keeps your insurer relationship healthy.

What happens when one of your vehicles is in an accident

  1. Driver or transport manager calls us - one number, day or night during cover hours.
  2. We capture the FNOL and triage the incident.
  3. A like-for-like replacement is dispatched to keep the route running.
  4. We coordinate repair, recovery, and claim - and keep you updated.

Why outsource fleet accident management?

  • One named handler instead of juggling brokers, repairers, and hire desks.
  • Faster vehicle off-road (VOR) recovery - every day matters.
  • Specialist fleet access - including vans and trucks.
  • Lower admin load on your transport team.

Fleet range

Standard cars, commercial vehicles, licensed taxis, and EV/hybrid options. If you operate a mixed fleet, we’ll match the replacement to the role.
