Depends on who's At Fault in the accident. Rental car benifit is usuall a great deal on auto insurance policy. Average cost of Rental Car benifit on an Insurance policy is 20-30 every 6 months. This is for a avg car to get you from A-B.

Rental cars costs are usually $30 for 30days so $900 for the month your car is in the shop.

Always buy the coverage most valuable to you. If your car is your lively hood make sure you are covered.

Answer:

Accident with out rental car. If the accident was your fault then you will need to find a solution. Getr rides, borrow a car ect.

If it was the other parties fault then ask their insurance company for a Rental car. After all their client has disabled your car and has caused you a burden. They will usually take care of you. They do use their discression on weather to afford this coverage and each carrier is different.

If you are not an authorized driver on the rental contract, the person who rented the car (whose name is on the contract) is liable for the damages. You might want to find a place to hide because that person will be looking for you to deliver a fresh can of whoop-ass afterward.

Do I have to buy extra car insurance if I rent from EZ car rental?

If you already have full coverage auto insurance, there is no need to purchase additional insurance for your rental car. The only event where you would need the insurance from EZ Car Rental, was if you were to get into an accident, they would cover the cost of the time lost for the rental. If you don't purchase their insurance and get into an accident, you will have to pay for the days they are out money for not being able to rent the car out.


Could you get a rental car if i was in an accident?

A good percentage of rental car company business is around rentals connected to accidents and insurance. It's fairly common for an insurance company to pay for a person to have a rental car if that person's car is in the shop due to an accident. Even if you do not have insurance paying for the rental car, the simple fact of you having been in an accident is not going to prevent you from renting a car as long as your driver's license is valid and you have the ability to pay.

I was in a car accident and my insurance will not provide a rental car even though i have full coverage can they do that?

You only get a rental if your policy specifies that you chose to pay extra to have rental car coverage. Having collision coverage is not the same thing as having rental. Collision coverage just covers the repairs to your vehicle. If you are not at fault for the accident, the other person's insurance will provide you with a rental car.

What can a car rental agency do to you if you get in an accident in a rental car?

If you have car insurance, your own policy may cover accidents in rental cars -- check with your insurer. The rental agency will also make available an insurance policy that will specifically cover you in their vehicle, regardless of what your own insurance carrier may cover. Such insurance is worth the cost, in my opinion, if for no other reason than eliminating most of the hassle if you do have an accident. Insurance purchased at the time of rental usually has a deductible, perhaps $250, that may or may not be taken out of your rental deposit. If your insurance carrier does not cover rentals, and you did not purchase insurance from the rental company at the time you rented the car, you may be legally liable for the entire cost of the car's repair
