Defend and reduce credit hire claims with Arbitrate

A market-leading and award-winning platform for basic hire rates (BHRs)

Credit hire companies frequently charge ‘at-fault insurers’ an inflated price for car hire. We don’t think that’s fair. That’s why we built Arbitrate – a platform that instantly and independently determines the right price regardless of the circumstances or location.

As a result, an increasing number of insurers use Arbitrate. For credit hire defence, it’s the essential platform for negotiating with a credit hire organisation (CHO).

So what is Arbitrate?
