About credithire.uk
credithire.uk is the UK credit hire reference. We explain credit hire after non-fault accidents in plain English, we keep a case law tracker and a published rates methodology, and we are straight about where recovery can fail. We publish; we do not run claims, supply vehicles or handle money.
What we do
We write about credit hire the way the courts actually treat it. Every guide is conditional where the law is conditional, every case summary carries its citation and judgment date, and the rates methodology is published before any figure is. Where a point is contested, we say so rather than smoothing it over.
Our editorial voice is the Credit Hire Information Desk. We are accurate, balanced and honest about risk, and we always point out that you can go direct to your insurer, free of charge.
Where we stop
We publish and explain. We do not give advice on your individual claim, assess or run claims, supply vehicles, recover money or guarantee any outcome. Whether a hire is reasonable in need, rate and duration is decided on the evidence in your case, not by anything you read here.
Our page on how credit hire is regulated sets out the rules that apply to the firms you will actually be dealing with.
