Vehicle storage after an accident
A damaged vehicle waiting for an assessor, an insurance decision or a repair slot: kept safely at our yard in Lunel.
Vehicle storage in Lunel and the Pays de Lunel.
After an accident a vehicle is rarely available straight away: an assessor has to see it, the insurer has to decide, sometimes a repairer has to have a slot free. Leaving it on the street or outside your holiday rental is neither practical nor wise, particularly if it no longer locks or is standing on a damaged wheel.
We keep these vehicles at our yard in Lunel, on the chemin des Oranges. The vehicle is parked there, available for inspection, and you collect it — or we deliver it to the garage — as soon as the decision is made. It follows on naturally from a recovery: a car loaded at your address or at the scene can be brought straight to us.
Step by step.
- 01 Collection The vehicle is loaded where it stands and brought to our yard in Lunel. Its condition is recorded on arrival.

Your questions about this service.
-
How long can you keep my vehicle?
For as long as the assessment and your insurer’s decision take. The charge runs from the entry date, so call us as soon as the situation is resolved to stop the clock.
-
Will my insurance pay for storage?
It depends on your policy. Many cover storage for a limited period after a claim. Check with your insurer, and keep the receipt we give you.
-
Can the assessor inspect the car at your yard?
Yes, that is the usual arrangement: the assessor makes an appointment and examines the vehicle at our yard in Lunel, without you needing to be there.
