When you’re involved in a car accident that wasn’t your fault, dealing with the aftermath can be overwhelming. In addition to repairing your vehicle, you may find yourself without a car for days or even weeks, disrupting your daily routine. Thankfully, if you live in Adelaide, Dynamic Paint N Panel can help you secure a rental car while your vehicle is being repaired—without any out-of-pocket costs if you’re not at fault.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of getting a rental car through Dynamic Paint N Panel, explain how insurance coverage works in these cases, and answer frequently asked questions to make the process as smooth as possible.
Why You Might Need a Rental Car During Repairs
The Inconvenience of Being Without a Vehicle
Car repairs, particularly after an accident, can take time. Even minor repairs can leave you without a vehicle for a significant period. Being without a car can be more than just an inconvenience—it can impact your ability to get to work, pick up children from school, attend appointments, or run everyday errands. A rental car ensures that your routine isn’t interrupted while your vehicle is in the shop.
Insurance Entitlements for Non-Fault Drivers
If you were not at fault in an accident, you are legally entitled to a replacement vehicle while your car is being repaired. The cost of the rental car is typically covered by the at-fault party’s insurance. Dynamic Paint N Panel works with you and your insurer to ensure that you receive this benefit, saving you from having to pay for a rental out of your own pocket.
