How to handle a wrecked rent a car?
This is in georgia. My new car has been in the shop for 1 1/2 months and they finally let me use a rent a car for free. I got into a argument with my cousin who got into my rent a car went to fast down the drive way and hit the ditch. They arrested him for auto theft even tho I didnt want them to. My question is how do I go all about this? Do i call up ford and tell them, should i call my insurance? what do i say and dont say? Please help me, thank you for your time.
You'll have to notify the dealer that gave you the rental, then call your insurance company. Once your insurance company finds out you weren't the driver, they will deny your claim. Looks like you are on the hook for the costs. Unless the dealership is willing to go after the driver. Maybe the cops arresting your cousin for theft will turn out in your favor.
