How do I get a rental car with Allstate if my car's in the shop after an accident?
I was in an accident and my car is in the shop. Hopefully the repairs will be done soon, but in the meantime, I have no way to get to work. I have my insurance through Allstate; is there any way I can use it to get a rental car until my car is completely fixed?

“I’m so sorry to hear about your accident—hopefully you’re all right and your car will be repaired soon!
I’m happy to say that
Allstate
provides an additional policy called rental reimbursement
that can provide you with funds for a rental car.If you choose a rental car provider that works with your car insurance company, the rental car company will usually bill your
car insurance
directly. This cuts out the middleman (you), making the process easier and more convenient.If you don’t have rental reimbursement insurance, keep in mind that some collision or comprehensive policies offer it. Otherwise, you may have to pay out of pocket until your car is repaired.
If you’re worried about your insurance rates going up as a result of this accident, it’s a good time to shop around. The best way to ensure you’re getting a good deal on your insurance is by using the
Jerry
app. We’ll send you customized quotes from the top 50 providers so that all you have to do is choose the plan you think is best. And the best part–Jerry does this for free.Best of luck with the repairs, and hopefully you’ll be able to quickly put this chapter of your life behind you.”
