Rental Car After Rear Ended and Totaled Car
I was rear ended last Friday. My 16 year old son son was in the front passenger seat, we were wearing seat belts. The other driver's insurance company admitted fault, inspected my car and declared it totaled. They offered $10k for the car and informed me that they wont be able to pay for me to get a rental car while I am looking to buy another car. They said that $10k was the limit of their insured's policy for property damage. Since I had to go to work, I had them approve the rental car, which I have been driving for 3 days. Just yesterday they informed e that they cannot pay for anything above $10k. Can they do that? Am I going to end up paying for the rental?
Thanks

OP find out what coverage you actually have and what they actually have so you know what you can and cant do.

With a totaled vehicle I'm sure you took photos,called the police and have a police report?
You don't deal with the other insurance company.
Your insurance company does.
Your automobile insurance covers the cost of a rental vehicle

Not only is he possibly on the hook for the rental car but also for its loss of use if he didn't have proper insurance.
Sound like he's fvcked to me?
Why ask for advice on a public forum and not communicate with your insurance agent?

I suspect the op does not have proper insurance or no insurance?

If that's the case then yes he is on the hook for the rental. If that was the policy limit in the only insured driver that's it period. He might be able to negotiate with the insurance company, but I doubt they will be of any help.
The only option is to sue the other individual in civil court, which might not be worth the effort unless there was tremendous pain and suffering of major property damage.
