Question: Who pays for my rental car after a wreck?
Answer: Rental coverage may come from the at-fault driver’s property-damage insurance or your own policy if you purchased rental reimbursement coverage.
Complete Explanation:
If the other driver is clearly at fault and has insurance, that insurer may pay for a reasonable rental while your vehicle is repaired or until a total-loss offer is made. If fault is disputed, the process may be delayed. Your own policy may provide faster rental help if you have rental coverage. Keep receipts and communicate in writing. If your car is totaled, rental coverage may end sooner than expected, so act quickly to address the property-damage claim.
