Can I get a rental car through my insurance if my car is in the shop after an accident?
I got into an accident where I wasn't at fault. Thankfully my insurance is covering repairs, but now I don't have any way to get to work. Is there any way for me to get a rental car through my insurance?

“I’m so sorry to hear about your accident, and hopefully your repairs are completed soon. Your car insurance company should provide you with a rental car if you have
rental reimbursement
on your car insurance.Rental reimbursement coverage may also be included in some
collision coverage
and comprehensive coverage
policies, although this isn’t always the case.Contact your insurer to find out if you have rental reimbursement or if you would like to add it to your account.
If you want to make sure you’re getting the best deal on a policy that includes rental reimbursement coverage, try using the
Jerry
app. We’ll get you quotes from multiple top-of-the-line providers so that all you have to do is select the plan that works best for you. Once you’ve chosen the right plan, we’ll even help you with the paperwork to switch.Best of luck on repairs and here’s hoping that everything goes smoothly.”
