The perpetrator of motor damage or insurer will cover the cost of renting a replacement car
25 April 2020
As a victim in a traffic accident you have the right to a replacement car. The fee for renting a car also constitutes damage to the victim, which the perpetrator of motor damage or insurer is obliged to cover.
In the event that the victim does not have money to pay for renting a car, he may transfer the right to compensation from civil liability insurance to the car rental company.
The Supreme Court in the resolution dated 13.030.2020, reference No. III CZP 63/19 considered that the unsatisfied payment for rent a car constitutes damage within the meaning of art. 361 § 2 of the Civil Code which is related to a traffic accident.
