1. Cover yourself
Worried you may be without transport if your car is out of action due to a fire, theft or accident claim? If you already have Comprehensive cover, for a small extra premium Direct Line can supply you with a guaranteed hire car for up to 14 consecutive days.
2. Avoid the queues
Research shows that hiring a car can be stressful, especially if you don’t have time to plan ahead. Direct Line Guaranteed Hire Car can help you avoid the queues, the middleman and the hassle of collecting the hire car, by arranging everything for you.
3. Prepare for the worst
Unfortunately, Home Office reports continue to highlight car crime as an ongoing issue, with two cars stolen every minute in the UK. Investing in Guaranteed Hire Car can help to make sure you don’t get stuck without a car if the worst happens to you.
4. Avoid commuter hell
If you’re used to travelling by car, taking public transport while your claim is sorted can be extra stressful. One study even shows that commuters can experience greater stress than fighter pilots going into battle!
5. Plan ahead
To benefit from Guaranteed Hire Car, you will need to purchase it, for a small extra premium, before making a claim.
6. Don’t compromise on comfort
If you need to hire a car in a hurry, you may have to compromise on the quality. With Direct Line Guaranteed Hire Car, all cars are fully serviced hire cars – a small hatchback or similar – and less than three years old.
7. Just a call away
With all Direct Line Motor cover, the Accident Recovery Helpline on 0800 269 015 is open 24 hours a day – so if you have Guaranteed Hire Car cover, you can arrange alternative transport straightaway.
8. Let it come to you
Unlike regular car hire, Direct Line’s Guaranteed Hire Car brings the vehicle to you. A hire car will be delivered to you – anywhere on the UK mainland – and collected from your home address or any place no further away than your home address.
9. Cover for your hire car too
Not only can hiring a car privately be expensive, but if an accident happens it can seriously bump up costs too. With Guaranteed Hire Car, the car we provide is covered under the usual terms of your policy, so there's no added stress for you.

Max call charge from a BT landline is 3p per minute. Calls from other networks may vary.
