GETTING A LOANER VEHICLE DURING COLLISION REPAIR

Have you been in a collision while driving around Killeen or the neighboring regions? Your vehicle needs to go to a store or an auto body shop for repairs. Do you need to put your life on hold while your vehicle is in the shop? Absolutely not.

If you need a temporary vehicle to commute to your office in Georgetown while your vehicle receives repairs, you may seek a loaner vehicle from a store like Jaguar North Austin Certified Pre-Owned & Service or from a local auto body shop. Join the team at our Austin store as we explore how it works, so you are prepared in the event of an emergency.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS TO GET A LOANER VEHICLE DURING COLLISION REPAIR

Whether you choose to go to a store or an auto body shop for a loaner vehicle, you will almost certainly need at least basic auto insurance to qualify. If you do qualify, however, a loaner is usually offered to you at no charge, unlike a rental, which requires a daily fee. That said, loaners are usually more constricted than rentals, with shops and stores often imposing daily driving limits and strict usage policies that prohibit activities like smoking and transporting pets. If you want to learn about our loaner policies, contact us online or visit us at Jaguar North Austin Certified Pre-Owned & Service, proudly serving drivers in the greater Round Rock area.

LOANER VEHICLE DURATION

Loaners are provided to you by an auto body shop or store for the duration of the repair, usually for a few days. However, depending on how long your repairs take, a loaner may not be available for the full time your vehicle is in the shop. In this case, you may need to opt for a rental to get you around town instead. If you need a temporary rental, consider the following:

• Do you have optional rental reimbursement insurance?
• Who was at fault for the collision?

If the other driver is at fault for the collision, their legally mandated liability insurance should cover the cost of your rental. On the other hand, optional rental reimbursement insurance should cover your rental costs even if the accident is your fault, as long as you had the policy in place before your accident. Contact your specific auto insurance provider to learn more.
