If your car was damaged in a collision, you may need a rental vehicle while your claim is being processed. Understanding your rights and options is essential. At Wilshire Law Firm, our California-licensed attorneys can help you navigate the insurance process.
Who Pays for the Rental Car After an Accident?
In many cases, the cost of a rental car may be covered by the at-fault driver’s insurance policy, However, coverage depends on several factors, including:
- The terms of the at-fault driver’s policy
- Whether liability has been accepted
- Your own insurance coverage
If you have rental reimbursement coverage on your policy, that may also help. Our team can review your situation and explain what steps to take if coverage is unclear or denied.
