Q: RENTAL REINBURSEMENT
MY RENTAL REINBURSEMENT FROM GEICO IS 1,700 MY CAR WAS CONSIDERED A TOTAL LOST AND THEY ONLY PAID 400 FOR MY RENTAL FEES DO I AM STILL USING A RENTAL TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO MY POLICY BEING CANCELED I WANTED TO KNOW IS GEICO STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR THE EXTRA TWO WEEKS OF MY RENTAL BECAUSE I AM PAYING OUT OF POCKET.
A:
Your car rental under your policy is only for the period when they have not paid you. It ends at that period. If you have 1700 in coverage, they will pay whatever your max is per day toward your bill.
By the way, responsibility under an auto policy continues from the time of the wreck. For instance, if you were hurt and need to see a doctor, even when your policy is cancelled they have to pay under it. However if your policy is gone you have to give the rental place new insurance or be charged $25 a day or more for insurance through them!
