About Acorn Rentals
Acorn Rentals was established in 1990. During 1992 Acorn recognized a growth market, that of courtesy cars within the smash repair industry.
Increasingly, customers of smash repair shops were demanding free courtesy vehicles while their vehicle was being repaired, however the cost of this needed to be met from the smash repairers’ bottom line.
Most repairers hired at least a few vehicles to give free to their customers and Acorn Rentals were able to supply this market using a fleet of small automatic vehicles.
Many smash repair shops found supplying free courtesy cars a financial strain. Nevertheless the demand for Accident Replacement Vehicles, as they had become known, was increasing.
By 1996 Acorn Rentals were the largest supplier of Accident Replacement Vehicles in Sydney. The cost to the repair industry was substantial, but as time went on the majority of insurance companies readily offered to shoulder the portion of the hire charges caused by their at fault customers.
Nowadays Acorn Rentals bulk bill all reputable insurance companies and provide Accident Replacement Vehicles Australia wide. We are recognized throughout the industry for our experience, helpful approach and transparent methods. The general public has now come to expect that they will be given a hire car paid for by the insurance company when the accident is not their fault.
We still offer everyday rentals, but these need to be paid for in advance in the normal way.
