Rental
reimbursement is an important part of your auto insurance coverage. Let’s discuss what it is and why you need it!
When you
suffer an auto insurance claim, it’s not uncommon for your vehicle to need to
go to the shop for a few days for repairs.
Even minor scratches or dings can require you to be without a vehicle
for an extended period of time.
If you have
multiple cars this is probably a mild inconvenience. But if you only have one vehicle or limited
access to others, then it could be a major problem.
Think about
this...
If you were
without a car for a week, how would you get to work?
How would
you get the kids to school?
If you use
public transportation to commute, what about going to the grocery store or the
kid’s soccer practice?
When you look at your policy, you’ll see rental coverage listed as a “per day” coverage.
It might be $50 per day, or $25 per day. That amount is how much the insurance company will
pay for that rental car, simple as that!
If you have a lower amount, but need a larger vehicle, then you’ll be responsible for the
additional cost. Let’s say you need a
minivan to drive your 4 kids around, but only get enough Rental Reimbursement
to cover a tiny economy car. That
additional per-day cost will fall on your shoulders, so make sure your policy is adequate before you end up needing it, or you'll have some unpleasant out-of-pocket expenses!
This is
what SAV-ON Insurance is here for. We’ll look at your
individual situation, ask these questions, and recommend the right amount of
