Drivalia partners with Motor Assist for accident management solutions

FN50 leasing and rental company Drivalia has appointed Motor Assist to provide end-to-end accident management and mobility solutions.

Drivalia, which is backed by Credit Agricole Auto Bank Group, is planning to expand its presence in the UK and has partnered with Motor Assist to cater for growth with its corporate fleet and SME contract hire & leasing customers, as well as repair deployment and repair management for its expanding rental fleet.

The company said it is vital for its customer base to have a seamless accident management provision, which it described as a critical aspect of fleet management.

It said Motor Assist’s expertise in downtime management, cost control and transparent service delivery were stand out areas in terms of how the business won the tender.

Drivalia customers will benefit from Motor Assist’s EV-for-EV guarantee, ensuring that drivers don’t have to step back into an ICE car if their EV is off the road. 

Duncan Green, commercial operations director at Drivalia, said: “Our fleet operator and other partners expect a full range of fleet management solutions, and working with Motor Assist enables us to present a complete range of services.

“This enables us to offer a one-stop solution, while benefiting from the proficiency of Motor Assist in delivering accident aftercare and rapid assessment and repair of vehicles to reduce downtime and costs.” 

Mark Young, account director at Motor Assist, added: “When we first engaged with Drivalia, we knew our business culture and values were similar.

“We are delighted to be working with its team, supporting its plans to grow its presence in the UK and build its electric vehicle offering.”
