Should I get car rental?

I recently got into an accident where the car at fault ramed into my car's right side. The right mirror is dangling by a wire, the hood cannot be completely closed and whatever hidden damages there might be. There was police and witness, the other drive was cited and it was totally his fault. My car moves, but is it considered ';drivable'; still? Reason asking is I want to make sure I can get reimbursed by the party at fault's insurance carrier for car rental before I can send my car to the shop. I did not purchase car rental coverage from my carrier and they could not give me a 100% definite answer that they can get the reimbursement for me from the other carrier. I need to get a car to be able to commute to work...Should I get car rental?
Legally the other companie would have to pay for a rental for you, when your car is in the shop. Now if it is considered drivable now, but you dont feel safe driving it because of the hood, and etc, then they still should have to give you one. I would recommed getting one on your own, if you dont want to have to end up being stuck with the bill. I would wait and talk to the other persons insurance company first.. Sounds almost like your going thru your own insurance, and in that case the other company should still be able to pay for your rental, or find a shop that has free loaner veh's.Should I get car rental?
If the accident was the other drivers fault and his insurance company is paying for your repairs, the cost of the rental is part of the total cost of repairs.





Insist on a rental car, they have to pay. The hitch is they may not pay 100%. They may only pay (for example) $30 a day for 5 days. So you need to work with them, but getting a rental car is part of the insurance settlement.
