Hi. I’m Scott Wright. Clients who’ve been involved in an automobile accident often ask me whether or not a rental car or a rental truck is available. And the answer is sometimes yes, sometimes no. The typical case, though, is one where you don’t have your own rental coverage. If you have your own rental coverage on your policy, certainly you can get a rental car via your own insurance company. But where, as is typically the case, you don’t have that, then the availability of a rental vehicle depends on the coverages held by the person who’s at fault in the accident. Typically, if they have the minimum required coverage, which is a $10,000 policy of liability coverage for property damage, then, yes, you will be able to be reimbursed for the cost of a rental car. It may also be that the insurance company will agree to arrange for the rental car for you. These are things that typically we help clients with. We assist them in arranging rental cars or recovering their loss of use for their vehicle while their car is under repair or during the period of time that is necessary to negotiate property settlement for damages where the car is totaled. This again is somewhat complicated. I’d be happy to discuss it with you in more detail and with specific reference to your particular claim. Feel free to give me a call. You can reach me 24-hours a day, 7-days a week. My phone number is 723-1997. I look forward to speaking with you.
