I got rear ended by this idiot a while ago and he was ticketed...so i went through is shitty allstate insurance and they said i could geta rental car. My car was droped off at the auto body shop fri so it wasent my fault they dont work on weekends. Anyway it took a total of 8 days to fix my car and $320 outa my own pocket for a rental and they only gave me $50 outa that back for reinbursment. I faught it all the way up to the top lady and she wouldent refund me...

thats messed up. I have Allstate and the person who hit me did too. They paid for the car upfront. I never paid a dime. They got enterprise and had them pick me up and everything. They gave it to me for limited time but everytime my car wasnt doen I jsut called and they extended it. However I had to swap my car a few times. I drove a Kia, Mazada 6, A Lancer and then a Malibu The Kia sucked

 

Funny part is...she says the rental car ordeal was explained to me so I said oh really then prove it to me lady all your calls are recorderd for costumer aSURANCE then let me hear her explain it???? she said oh we dont have it sorry...So I was like fine i am going to file a report against you and she diddent seem to care

 

Your back suddenly went into ungoddly painful muscle spasms and your dr has said its a result of the accident where thier insured hit you. Now you get an ambulance chasing lawyer and sick him on Allstate for all you can get! Just be careful they don't take pics of you goofing off.

Seriously when you get hit they should pay everything 100% if not thats what lawyers are for. NEVER go it alone with those crooks cause they'll **** you as soon as look at you and smile while they do it.

 

haha wouldent work cus im into bodybulding... would be funny of the insurance company snapping photos of me doing 450lb dead lifts at the gym




for real tho...wouldent it just cost more to get a lawyer?

 

Well duh... you should have looked at the rental voucher and seen how many days the insurance was going to cover a rental car for.

I was rear ended at the end of August, when I settled with my insurance company, I was given a rental voucher for 3 days, the time quoted on the Body Shop's estimate. My parts came in on a friday as well, but I knew better than to take the car to them on that friday and let it sit over the weekend. I took the car in the next Monday, left it for 3 days, and had it done promptly while I had a rental car.

You are responcible for taking your car in at a time where the repairs can be completed. The fact that the shop is not going to be open over a weekend will not factor into your insurance company's rental policy. That would be much like dropping your car off right after the accident and expecting the insurance company to cover you a rental for the whole time. Not happening.

So don't go blaming your insurance co. and getting all pissed off b/c you didn't read the fine print. I can't believe you actually expected them to cover your rental over a weekend.
I'll agree that it does suck to pay that much out of pocket after the fact... b/c it wasn't your fault at all, and there wasn't anything you could do to prevent it. But, that's the way it goes.

Thus... is why I made sure that I got the GMPP exhaust put on when I got rear ended... all covered by insurance. Sure, my stock exhaust wasn't really damaged by the collision, but with the rear bumper and lip written off, you would expect it to be shot as well, no? I knew all the bullshit and red tape I would be going through in getting my car repaired, so I made damn sure that I would get something out of the whole ordeal.

Perhaps you should have done the same...

 

I have ALLSTATE. When my truck got smashed up and spent 3 months in the body shop. They had no problem paying the $47.00 a day rental..For 3 months/ Yeah that was a $4,371 doller bill...Never gave me a problem

 

thats that agency not the company. each one is independently owned and operated. my aunt owns a state farm in corpus christi. she sets her own rules, but they do have company policies too

 

silver streak dont post that nonsence on here you always think you know everything...I got the letter in the mail telling me how long they would give me a rental car. And that was 4 weeks after I got my car repaired! they screwed up not me they never explained any of the rental fees or how long I would get over the phone

 

same here. But mine was not drivable. broke my axels and what not. Was like 6000 is damager
