Cheap Car Rental: Tips - Accidents
If you are involved in an accident while driving your cheap car rental, it is imperative that you proceed to detail the accident as though you were driving your own vehicle. As you already might know, these are the most important pieces of information to collect from the involved parties: full name, mailing address, telephone number, insurance details, drivers license number. Also try to get the names and contact information of anyone who witnessed the accident. Make a note of the vehicles's make, color, brand and license plate number.
Try to pinpoint the exact time and location of the accident. If the police get involved, ensure that you receive a copy of their report. Don't forget to advise your insurance agent immediately and notify the car rental company; they will let you know about their accident procedure. If you purchased insurance through the car rental company, they will have to make the claim. If you are still able to drive the rental car and you choose to continue driving it, make sure that you allow a lot of time upon returning the car. If there is damage to the rental car, there will be much paper work to complete.
