Auto Insurance Rental Reimbursement Coverage When your car is in the auto body shop for repairs on an accident insurance claim, Rental Reimbursement Coverage usually pays from $15 to $50 per day for a rental car, depending on your particular specific limits in your auto insurance policy. Most policies will provide a rental car of the same class of vehicle you insure. Rental Reimbursement Coverage is very important and well worth the added minimal cost in your policy, especially if your car is in the shop longer than a month.
An option offered by most insurance companies is using your Rental Reimbursement Coverage to pay alternate transportation fares or mass transit costs. You can use that toward taxi, bus, or train fare. If your bus fare doesn't add up to your policy limits, you will be reimbursed for exactly what you spent, so ask for receipts and keep them in your insurance paperwork
If your vehicle is low value, older car and you do not maintain comprehensive or collision coverage, you still may want to consider rental reimbursement coverage . Although that vehicle may justify carrying comprehensive or collision coverages, you will still need transportation during the time between when your car is totaled until you buy another one.
Your policy specifically states how long you will receive rental reimbursement coverage. The time covered varies and depends upon whether your car is being repaired, whether it's been totaled, or if it was stolen.
