Who Pays for a Rental Car After an Accident?

CASE EVALUATIONS ARE FAST, EASY, AND FREE.

After a car crash, you’ll likely have severe damage to your car. If it can be repaired, it can take time and plenty of money to get your vehicle back on the road. Unfortunately, that might mean another expense on your plate: transportation.

When you need reliable transportation to your doctor appointments and meetings with a lawyer, you need to know who pays for a rental car after an accident. It wasn’t your fault that you were hit by a reckless driver, so the expense of a rental car shouldn’t be yours to worry about.

Fortunately, at Craig Swapp & Associates, we’re pleased to help our injured clients get the compensation they deserve, which may include the cost of a rental car. We want to help you relax and focus on your recovery while we fight for the compensation you deserve.

Your Insurance Company Can Help

To get a rental car covered after a crash, you may need to speak to your insurance company about it. Many insurance companies may include these expenses in your settlement or as part of your auto insurance policy.

Ask your insurer if it’ll cover your rental car. Otherwise, you might need to ask the other driver’s insurer to cover the cost of your rental vehicle.

Including Transportation in Your Damages

While you may have had to pay for your rental car out of pocket, you may be able to seek compensation for it in your insurance or personal injury claim. If you take your claim to court, the responsible party should cover all the damages you’ve suffered.

This could include your rental car expenses. You wouldn’t have rented the car if the other driver hadn’t broken the rules of the road, so the other driver should cover that expense.

Getting Your Rental Car Covered

Figuring out who pays for a rental car after an accident can be difficult. After all, you’ll need a vehicle to get to your doctor, and a careless driver left your car damaged or totaled. You needed this rental because of the at-fault party.

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
