Car insurance questions after a repair or accident

Plain answers to the questions customers ask most about insurance claims and repairs.

  1. Can I choose the repair shop? Usually yes. Ask your insurance company to confirm what your policy says before the repair starts.
  2. What is a deductible? The part of the repair you pay yourself; the insurer pays the rest of what it approves.
  3. Does my policy cover a rental car? Only if you added rental coverage. Check your policy or call your agent.
  4. Will they use new or used parts? It depends on your policy and the insurer. Ask before you approve the estimate.
  5. What should I keep? Photos, the police report number if there is one, the claim number and every estimate and receipt.
  6. We can inspect your car and send our findings and photos to you and your insurer.
