Short profile:

Drive Assist, established in 1992, was set up to fill a gap in the marketplace, as thousands of people were inconvenienced each year when involved in non-fault road traffic accidents.

For the vast majority of drivers the car is essential to meet their daily commitments. Equally very few people have the financial resources to hire another vehicle if they have been denied the use of their own by another persons negligence. Credit hire is the only answer to many in this situation, Steve set up Drive Assist in order to satisfy this demand.

From humble beginnings, with just four members of staff, the Drive Assist Group has grown dramatically year on year. The growth of the company has been achieved through a strong understanding of the market and a willingness to support relevant initiatives.
