I have nothing but good things to say.

Dealing with Direct Accident has been seamlessly efficient on the four times we have done business. Unlike the sometimes obstructive systems I have encountered with insurance companies, DAMS have been extremely fast, professional and lucrative for my company. Great rep too.

I'm Glad I Changed to Direct Accident!

I used a different Accident Manmagement company, and the Rep for Direct Accident convinced me to try them. I cant stress how pleased I am that I did. Money was great and on time, The service from the head office was brilliant, and my client is very happy. The replacement vehicle was delivered the same day.

I love working with Direct Accident!

I love working with Direct accident as they are very efficient and do all the hard work for me. We've used other accident management companies but these guys are the best. They pay well, and the vehicles are delivered quickly. I would highly recommend them.

GREAT SERVICE

We were using an alternative accident management company for many years.

After coming to DAMS it has been an eye opener.
The service they provide to our valued customers is second to none.

The service is amazing and I have no hesitation in recommending Direct Accident!!!

Trustworthy Company

We have been working with these guys for the last 8 years. I never had any problems, cars are always clean and tidy customers are always happy. We have a large population of Brazilian customers which they also cater for. I highly recommend this company

Excellent companu

I recommend DAMs to all my customers who have had a non-fault accident. DAMs have a great range of cars and deliver them quickly so my customers stay mobile. My local rep, Claire, is excellent and always at the end of the phone.

Intrusive & unprofessional

I live in North London and always used the same garage so don't really want to blame the garage ,
I decided to use direct as I thought I was getting a good deal and was annoyed with my insurance as they would not let me use the garage of my choice .
Firstly I went to pick my hire car up from garage which was nearly 2 hours late . There was a girl who apparently was the rep but did nothing to help . The car finally arrived and all was then fine until the paperwork come through the door !!!!' I CANT believe NO O N E ELSE HAS MENTIONED THIS ???? 6 months worth of bank statements of ALL accounts and 20 pages of paperwork to sign ???? Really ? When I called to ask why they need all these details they told me I had to comply or pay the thousands of pounds hire charges ....... Poor all round and def will never recommend and all these reviews seem to be from garages and not customers

Really great company

I would highly recommend Direct Accident to any one as an alternative to using an Insurance company and paying a costly excess.
Their cars are pristine, service is good and the local rep is really lovely and helpful.

Great service, great people!

After a few visits from Direct Accidents West London Rep I finally decided to bite the bullet and send over a claim. What can I say, every person i spoke with were professional and extremeley helpfull. My client was in desperate need of a hire vehicle straight away. Direct accident had a car out within 24 hours and my client was very impressed with both the type of car and also the condition. I have been kept informed of the process of delaing with Direct Accident from day 1 and have recieved complete professionalism and care from all the team. I would highly recommend any other garage owner to use this company as no doubt I will be sending more claims to them.

Car arrived within the hour

Someone hit my car and so I took it to my local garage (Sprayit! in Crews Hole, Bristol) and they suggested Direct Accident Management. They also pointed out that, although I thought my car was drive-able, it actually wasn't road legal or safe.
Direct accident delivered me a hire car within the hour and I used it until my car was sorted. They dealt with everything for me and it didn't cost me a penny. I'd use them again, no question.

Excellent service

Our garage (Ray's Autospray in Swindon) has been using Direct Accident for years and I would recomend them to anyone. Any of my customers who have an accident that isn't thier fault can have a car whilst I fix thier vehicle.
Direct Accident offer excellent customer service, new cars delievered quickly and my area sales manager is always around to support me.

Excellent service, good company

I'm keen to grow my business and have found that Direct Accident have supported me in doing this. They have taken care of my customers and provided them with beautiful courtesy cars. Their caring service is an extension of my business and my local rep is always on hand for support.
I will continue to recommend this service to any customer who has had an accident that isn't their fault as Direct Accident save them the hassle of dealing with insurance companies.

Fab company

When someone drove into my car, their insurance company offered me a courtesy car but I discovered that there was a massive excess on it? Plus they wouldn't let me have my car fixed at my local garage. It was really stressful as my car wasn't safe to drive?

Direct accident gave me a car to drive the same day so I could still get to work, and my local garage fixed my car. All of this at no cost to me and no stress at all.

I would recommend this to anyone rather than going through an insurance company.
