Accidents happen, and they sometimes involve rental cars. Whether it is a minor fender bender or a major collision, crashing an Enterprise rental car can be a stressful and overwhelming experience. Not only do you have to deal with the immediate aftermath of the accident, but you may also be worried about the consequences from the rental company. However, if you were injured in the accident, you still have the right to pursue compensation.
At the Auto Accident Team, we will connect you with a skilled car accident attorney who is ready to fight for your rights. They can help you navigate the complexities of insurance claims and Enterprise rental agreements, ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.
If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of having crashed an Enterprise rental car, there are a few critical steps you should follow immediately after the accident:
Taking these steps will help create a clearer picture of the incident for all parties involved.
When a rental car is involved in an accident, determining who covers the damage depends on several factors, including the rental agreement, insurance policies in place, and state laws. Typically, the renter’s auto insurance may cover the damages if their policy includes collision and comprehensive coverage.
Additionally, Enterprise offers a Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) or Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) at the time of rental, which can cover the cost of damages to the rental vehicle in the event of an accident, theft, or certain natural disasters, thereby reducing or eliminating the renter’s financial responsibility, subject to the terms of the rental agreement.
However, these waivers are not insurance policies and may not cover all types of damage or loss. If neither personal auto insurance nor waivers apply, the renter could be held financially responsible for the repair costs, towing, and loss of use fees charged by the rental company. Consulting with an attorney can provide clarity on the best course of action based on the specifics of the accident and rental agreement.
