Who is responsible for covering the cost of the rental car that I require following a car accident?

This is an evolving situation. In the past, the insurance of the party at fault would typically cover reasonable rental costs. However, some insurance companies now offer limited reimbursement for rental expenses, which means you might have to initially pay for these expenses yourself. If you have rental insurance as part of your Comprehensive and Collision coverage, your own insurance company should cover these rental costs. Nevertheless, certain insurance providers may only reimburse you for the amount you paid towards these expenses.
