Do you get a rental car during hail repair?

Rental coverage, repair timelines and how to avoid being stranded while your car is in the shop.

Check your policy for rental reimbursement

Rental coverage is an optional add-on, not automatic. Look for 'rental reimbursement' or 'transportation expense' on your declarations page — it is usually a few dollars a month and covers a rental while your claim repair is completed.

If you have it, the carrier typically covers a set daily amount and a maximum number of days.

How long will you be without your car?

Most PDR hail repairs take two to five days, far shorter than conventional bodywork. Light damage on a few panels can sometimes be finished same-day.

We schedule drop-offs so your car is in the shop for the shortest possible window, and we can help coordinate a rental pickup if your policy includes one.

No rental coverage?

Ask us about timing your repair around a weekend or a stretch when you can borrow a vehicle. For qualifying claims we may also be able to help with local transportation — just mention it when you book.
