I wrecked my car friday, Do you think my insurance will give me a rental car?
Find answers to your legal question.





I wrecked my car friday, Do you think my insurance will give me a rental car?

I flipped my car into a creek and completely totaled it. That is the only car that me and my husband have. We have full coverage Allstate insurance. They still haven't gotten ahold of us yet. Do you think we will be supplied with a rental car?
Additional Details
We called them the day of the accident and they said they would have an agent get in touch with us. And we still haven't heard from an agent. I called them back today and they said they would look into it. The insurance is actually in my parents name so I'm not sure what they have on their policy as far as rentals go or anything.

depends on your policy

some will offer a rental car others you have to pay an additional fee for this coverage.

also are you over 25? might not rent to you unless you are.

you could be added as an additional driver.

Do you have rental coverage on your policy?

Have you reported that you were in an accident? They wont get ahold of you unless you report it.....

If you have, call them and find out. Ask about getting a rental set up and if you have that coverage.

they only give you a rental if its part of your contract, but allstate is great, you will definitely be supplied with a rental dont worry, you will be helped soon, my sister has them and they were great working with her, be patient, and have no fear, your dilema will be over soon. Best of luck to you

Getting a rental car is a part of your insurance policy. If it's written into the policy you'll get one, if it's not you won't.

If rental coverage is part of your policy, then yes, you will be able to rent a car, but it's not for very long. Pull out your policy and take a look to see if it's on there. It's normally listed as a separate charge. Most people skip towing and rental coverage on their policies in order to get the cheapest rate possible. It's not automatic even if you have full coverage.

I'm sorry to hear you had an accident. I hope you and anybody else involved are OK. In regards to the rental car, that depends on what type of coverage you have. You need to call your insurance company and ask. Every policy is different. I wish you the best.l

And don't wait around for them to get in touch with you....be pro-active.

I was given a rental car after my car was in the shop for 5 days due to a fender bender. Most insurance companies give a complementary rental car for a short period of time. I've never wrecked a car, but I'm guessing that if you ask they will give you a free car for a few days to get around and to also go purchase your new car.

if it is in your insurance coverage that you are covered for rentals.. call your agent. most of the times, they make you pay for the rentals and they will reimburse you.

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear that, I hope you are okay. As far as the rental car goes, it depends on your insurance policy. Some policy's cover rental cars and others don't. Usually you have to pay a little bit more per month if you want rental coverage. You can look at your plan and see if it covers it. It's usually optional when you set up your plan. If you don't have a copy of your plan, unfortunately you'll have to wait until you hear from Allstate. Good luck!

Have your parents call the insurance company to report this. They may not accept a call from someone other than the policyholder

call your agent

If you have Rental Car Coverage, it will pay up to limits per day for a maximum of 30 days.


bailie28
depends do you have that as part of your policy..if not you are going to have to rent a rental car on your own...progressive is really good about the rental cars in their policies


skyanddezi
You need to contact them. in most cases full coverage does have a rental car clause, atleast mine does, but you can remove it to get the price down. Pull out your policy and read it, it should state it in there.

Sorry about your accident. No one here knows the line items of your insurance policy better than you and your agent. Call them today to work out the details.
