Benefits of hiring a lawyer after a car accident and how to deal with Auto Insurance policies
If you are in a car accident and your car is damaged, you may be wondering what your options are for getting a rental car. If you were not at fault in the accident, you might be able to get a rental car from the other driver’s insurance company. At Gonzalez Torres Law, we take care of this process for you and are usually able to get our clients into a rental car within 24 hours or less. In this blog, we will cover some things you will need to know about how the rental car process works after a crash.
You should be able to get around after a car accident
If you’ve been in an accident, one of your first thoughts may be “how am I going to get around?” If your vehicle is damaged and needs repairs, you may be wondering if you can get a rental car. The good news is that, in many cases, you may be able to get a rental car covered by the other driver’s insurance company – even if you don’t have collision coverage on your own policy.
At Gonzalez Torres Law, we help our clients through the process of getting a rental car after an accident. We’re often able to get them into a rental within 24 hours or less. Here are some things you need to know about how the process works:
You need to be eligible based on Auto Insurance
When you call us for help with an accident claim, we will ask for a copy of your insurance policy and look up the policies of other drivers involved. We will be able to tell you if you are eligible based on the auto insurance information. You will need to have collision coverage on your own car insurance policy in order to get a rental car from the other driver’s insurance company. If you don’t have collision coverage, we can still help you get a rental car, but it may take a little longer.
You also need to be able to prove that you need a rental car
The other driver’s insurance company is not just going to give you a rental car because you were in an accident. You will need to be able to show that your car is damaged and needs repairs before they will give you a rental. We can help gather this evidence for you and submit it to the insurance company so that they approve your request for a rental quickly.
It helps to have connections with rental car companies
At Gonzalez Torres Law, we have built relationships with many different rental car companies. This means that we can often get our clients into a rental car much faster than if they were to try and do it on their own. We know which companies are likely to have the type of car you need and can make sure that you get it as soon as possible.
You may need to pay for the rental upfront and get reimbursed later
In some cases, you may need to pay for the rental car upfront and then get reimbursed by the insurance company later. We can help you with this process and make sure that you are only paying what you are supposed to.
