Getting a Rental Car After an Accident
When you’re busy, it’s less than ideal to be without your car for a few days, weeks, or even months. If you need access to a car to get around, whether it’s for travelling to work or attending medical appointments, then a rental car could be the answer. But who pays for a rental car after an accident, and how do you get a rental car?
Unfortunately, unless you have rental car insurance, you may need to pay for your own rental car. At the Alexander Law Firm, however, our car accident attorneys offer rental car assistance for clients in need – here’s how we can help you with getting a rental car after an accident.
Rental Insurance
Does your auto insurance policy include rental car coverage? If so, then you can get a rental car after an accident through your own insurance policy.
- In most cases, coverage lasts for up to 30 days following your claim.
- In the meantime, your insurer will pursue the other driver’s insurer to cover the costs of your rental car.
But what if you don’t have rental car coverage and you need a car right away? Rental car assistance from the Alexander Law Firm can help.
The Alexander Law Firm Rental Car Assistance
At the Alexander Law Firm, we know how much reliable transportation means to you. And if you’ve been injured after a car accident, having access to a car is crucial for helping you get arround and attend vital medical appointments.
That’s where our rental car assistance service comes in. In most cases*, we can help make rental cars more accessible for our clients by paying for up to 10 days’ worth of rental usage upfront.
What’s more, we won’t charge a fee for handling any property damage and/or rental car claims when we represent our clients for personal injuries resulting from the same accident. Why don’t we charge a handling fee? It’s simple – we’re committed to helping our clients move forward following an accident, and we believe in making rental cars accessible to more individuals.
Not sure if you could benefit from this service? Here’s why it might help you.
- Insurance companies rarely – if ever – accept liability for an accident before completing their own investigations. If they determine the accident was your fault, they won’t cover the costs of any rental car.
- Even if the insurer accepts liability, you’ll be forced to pay for the rental car upfront. It may not be financially viable for you to pay these costs even if they’re later reimbursed.
- It could take weeks for insurers to complete their investigations. For example, if the insurer requires to take witness statements or await the police report, investigations will take at least two weeks. In the meantime, you will be out of pocket – our rental car assistance service can help ease some of the financial strain.
- After an injury, you’re dealing with enough stress without worrying about how you’ll transport yourself or your family to where you need to go. Rental car assistance can help you focus on recovery rather than financial or transport concerns.
