AI reviews summary
Right2Drive is highly regarded for providing a seamless and stress-free alternative to insurance-provided car rentals for not-at-fault drivers. The service is overwhelmingly praised for its convenience, high-quality vehicle fleet, and professional staff who manage the recovery of costs from at-fault parties. While the vast majority of experiences are positive, a small segment of users reported significant frustrations regarding application delays and communication breakdowns during the approval phase.
Pros
- Exceptional Convenience: The door-to-door delivery and collection service—including drop-offs at homes, workplaces, or repair shops—is the most frequently cited benefit.
- High-Quality Fleet: Users consistently receive "like-for-like" or upgraded late-model vehicles that are described as spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and often superior to their own cars.
- Professional Customer Service: Staff members are frequently identified by name for being empathetic, polite, and helpful in navigating the stress of post-accident logistics.
- Hassle-Free Financial Model: Drivers appreciate the "no-cost" nature of the service, as the company handles the recovery of rental costs from the at-fault party's insurance.
Cons
- Application & Approval Delays: A recurring complaint involves a lack of follow-up after the initial online application, with some users waiting days or weeks without a response.
- Last-Minute Cancellations: Some applicants were informed very late in the process that their request was denied because the company could not contact the at-fault party or their insurer.
- Repetitive Data Entry: Multiple reviewers noted frustration with having to provide the same accident details and photos several times to different operators.
- Geographic Limitations: Service availability can be inconsistent for users located outside of major metropolitan areas or specific service zones.
Verdict
Right2Drive is an excellent solution for not-at-fault drivers seeking a high-quality replacement vehicle without the typical limitations of insurance-led rentals. While the physical service and vehicle quality are industry-leading, potential users should be mindful that the approval process is dependent on the company successfully verifying the at-fault party's details.
Im so happy with Right2Drive they have made the process so smooth from the begin of contact and when maria dropped the car off made sure I didn't have any unanswered questions I would 100% recommend contacting them with your next insurance claim The car meet all my needs and they even fitted a baby seat for me Thanks Right2Drive Show details · 1
I was very impressed that my hire car was waiting for me when I dropped off my own car for crash repairs The paperwork was simple and with esigning it was completed in a short time. This is the first time that I was able to get like for like in my choice of car whereas I usually had to compromise and accept whatever was given to me ! Maria the… Read more · 1
representative was marvellous and went out of her way to assist me. Thank you! The car was a late model car and thoroughly clean. Even when I picked up my own car on completion I just handed the keys back to their personnel. Thank you for what has normally been a traumatic event for me!
The best service and best people to work with when you are being done wrong by a stupid driver and when there is no help from your comprehensive insurance. First I thought this is another scam. I was very sceptical. Right2Drive saved me from much of the pain while my car was off the street getting repaired. What a god given service. 5stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.… Read more · 1
Yes, this is a for profit business and they do charge for their services from the guilty party. But for the people being stranded with out a vehicle to get by due to someone else's wrong doing, these people are angels. I'm so happy such a service exist. Thank you Right2Drive for looking after us over 3months, while our car being fixed. Pls continue your good service and support the innocent motorists.

I’m not sure there’s words that describe the level of excellence I experienced with these guys. They are helpful, proficient, fast, professional, understanding & make the process easier than literally anything else of its magnitude. They are the light at the end of your accident tunnel & their vehicles are nothing short of a pleasure to drive. I… Read more · 1
honestly can’t sing their praises high enough. I’d never go anywhere else for my rental vehicle requirements. Just unbelievably brilliant.
Right to drive where fantastic when I had my car accident I filled out all the online forms and they rang me really quick and dropped the car off to me at my house. They also let me keep the car an extra couple of days to help me as I had no car. They were really friendly. Show reply
After receiving an extremely poor service and vehicle replacement option from a third party’s insurance company (one of the big insurers), we sought the services of Right2Drive to assist us. We had recently heard their advertising on TripleM Brisbane, and thought this was too good to be true. Can I say, it is true and R2D were excellent - from… Read more · 1
the first call, through to dropping off their vehicle, to picking it up from the panel shop where our vehicle was being repaired. Highly recommend their services where you’re not at fault, and the third party’s insurance company cannot provide a hire vehicle due to driver age restrictions, as was our case. Thank you to the Right2Drive team members who assisted our case.

(Youstina) .. thank you is all I can say. You made it too easy of a process over the phone. To the team at Keillor park (Peter) who dropped the car off to me an all round 10/10. Took such a burden off of my shoulders and gave me a great replacement car. Would definitely recommend and use again. Show details · 1
Very disappointed and unimpressed with the service I received. Went through the lengthy application process with proof of the other party's drivers licence and mobile number. I was told that the booking was approved and I was all ready to go and that the loaner car would be waiting for me once I got to the body shop on the designated drop-off… Read more
date. Just to have Right2Drive ring me up last minute and right before the weekend (car was due in on Monday), and tell me "unfortunately we cannot help you as we were unable to get a hold of the other party or their insurance company." I was NEVER GIVEN any indication they could not assist me!!!!!! How is that my problem at this point! They just dropped it like that with no further assistance, leaving me grappling with what to do for a car when my car was about to go into the shop!! Very weak apologies or fks given by Right2Drive. This is a very unacceptable way to do business. I am an older person who has never or would ever (due to safety) take an Uber anywhere and have had bad experiences with taking a taxi anywhere. To put it bluntly, I am terrified of these methods of transportation. This accident is NOT my fault, nor is the fact that they could not find the guilty party's details. Given my body shop is not very convenient to varied public transportation and no one to rely on, I was very worried and stressed. Would NOT recommend this company!!

Loan Car after accident that was not my fault – Excellent service with wonderful staff! Near new car loaned to us. Tobias was wonderful in explaining everything to us and even took time out to set up my daughters phone to Apple Car Play! Show details · 2
Follow-up · The loan car is for however long it takes for your car to be repaired. The only cost is that you return the car with a full tank of fuel (it is full when you receive it). Pick up and drop off is the panel beater where your car is being repaired so very convenient.

Follow-up · After my review I got contacted and apologized for the delay, Received the car and was excellent experience after that.
Fab! It's taken the smash repairer 3 months to repair my car - didn't know about these guys till 6 weeks in. I've had the car since then - I'd be lost without it & was given a 'like for like' Show 2 replies
Follow-up · Handover process was very easy - arrived at my house for drop off and they collected it from the smash repairers when I collected my car. I did not pay for anything - the other insurer paid for it all. No claims with the right-to-drive vehicle - all handled by others.

Amazing company helped me with a car after a feral destroyed mine and tried to avoid payment and responsibility, not only did they save me the headache the idiot that caused the issues now has to pay for the rental car. Couldn't recommend more Show details · 1

Highly recommend! Great customer service, quality vehicles, and a simple, hassle-free application process. They made everything easy during a difficult time when I was desperately trying to get wheels back on the road. Friendly, professional, and quick to help. Thanks again! Show reply

Can’t say anything good about this company. First was told my application would be approved but had to repeatedly call them to try and find out whats going on, then only to be told my application couldn’t be approved because of my location? I live 15mins from a major North Island city and its to difficult to arrange. 2 weeks of frustration. Very poor customer service. Highly Not Recommended.

⭐ 1 Star – Terrible Customer Service Very disappointed with Right2Drive. We completed the online form and waited for the promised call. When they called, they hung up immediately — they didn’t even wait for the call to connect. Then we received a text saying they couldn’t get through and we could call back or wait for them to try again. The next… Read more
day the exact same thing happened. When I finally called, I was told they couldn’t help because it wasn’t a “normal vehicle-to-vehicle” claim. After explaining the situation and re-providing all the details I had already entered online, they said they actually could help and would follow up with the at-fault party. Two days later I still hadn’t heard back, so I called again — only to be told nothing had been done and they would need to open a new file and start again. They then asked me to give all the same information for the third time. It’s now been five days since I first applied, and two days before I need the hire car, we’ve been left with no vehicle because they couldn’t be bothered to do their job. Completely unorganised, lazy, and unhelpful — definitely not the service they advertise.
Would never recommend to anyone. and will be telling everyone to avoid.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I have used Right2Drive on several occasions, and the level of service has always been exceptional. Their team is professional, reliable, and highly convenient delivering the vehicle directly to your door and arranging collection from your address or even meeting you at your mechanic. The staff are so friendly and the entire process is smooth and stress-free. I only wish I could give them a 10-star rating. ⭐️ Show details · 1

Car was delivered on time at Unley Motor Body Repair by Bowden, who was friendly and very efficient. I had requested a small hatchback and Bowden delivered a BMW 118i M. Car was in perfect condition.

Would recommend you use Right2Drive rather than going through your insurance company. Not that I needed it, but if I had an accident in the hire car, there is no excess payable, regardless of being at fault or not. Unlike your insurance company which would charge a huge excess. Would not hesitate in recommending Right2Drive. Thankyou to the Right2Drive team. Julie
this company helped me have a loan car and not pay and have to wait for reimbursement from the at fault party they made my experience very stress free friendly and helpful customer support Show reply
I used several rental cars arranged by my insurance due to the car issues before switching to Right2Drive. Their vehicles are well maintained, very clean, and the delivery and pickup process is very convenient. I wish I had chosen them right after the accident from the beginning. Keep up the great work, Right2Drive! Show details · 1
