What a day......

[Petro-Sooner]

My truck was stolen from work today. Anyone dealt with this? How much is it to get a rental? Insurance says I have to wait a month to see if it turns up before I could get a help from them. :twinkies:

[OU-HSV]

Never dealt with that, that sux.
Really sux that your insurance works like that...err...actually doesn't work. You'd think insurance could immediately come into play in that situation.

[Petro-Sooner]

I will be finding a new company in the very near future. Recommendations?

Oh wait isnt there a thread about that floating around here?

That's odd. If you have rental coverage in your policy that should kick in right away.

Insurance rental car rate is like $20 a day. You're going to be pretty small pimpin' in the rig they give you, but it'll have four wheels and an engine.

Sorry about your truck getting stolen, though.

[Petro-Sooner]

HEH no rental coverage.

I think I may go find the drunky thread.

[OU-HSV]

I've always been with State Farm. They've always treated me good. No problems to speak of.....
Hope that's not who you're with

Ah. Well, that 30-day waiting period is pretty standard I think.

[Harry Beanbag]

Here's another vote for State Farm, haven't had any problems with them for like 8 years now.

Some moron hit us last month, and our truck is in the shop now. His insurance (Safeway) authorized us a rental car at $28.99 a day, which sounds really bad, but that's one of their discount rates so we fell into the full size category. We've had a Ford Taurus for the week, it's a piece of ****, but at least it's a decent sized piece of ****.

I dont care if I get a Sicem mobile. As long as I find something I can get to work in. But its looking like it will be out of my own pocket. I'm just thankful I have a job to be able to get one. Should I go to a rental car place? Dealership? I'm new to this type of thing so anything serious helps.

My guess is a dealership has the higher rates. Plus, it's probably a good idea to ask your insurance company if there's any stipulations to getting reimbursed if you rent from a rental place or a dealer. It may be that they won't reimburse you if you rent from a dealer. I don't know that...just a guess. Seems there's always catches to everything.

The only time I have ever had a rental car it was from Enterprise. It wasnt that much of a hassle, and not too expensive. I do recommend getting the insurance they offer. Its usually a reasonable rate, and worth it if anything happens.

[olevetonahill]

See If theres a " Rent a wreck "
They are cheap and have decent cars .;)

[Whet]

If you have to pay for the rental for thirty days and the rental fee is $30 (on the low side), you will end up paying $900 plus any additional taxes and fees.

So, why not buy a $900 beater, get liability insurance only and you have yourself transportation.....

After you settle up with the insurance company, sell the beater....

[SoonerGirl06]

Depends on if you have 900.00 up front for the car.


I recommend Budget to rent a car. They've got good prices and they don't put a huge whopping hold on your account like other car rental places.


Good luck.

[Whet]

olevet should have some extra $$ - he could loan Petro-Sooner the $900!

[SoonerGirl06]

You might be on to something there Whet!

[royalfan5]

Why not just go steal someone else truck? That would be a reasonably cheap option.

[Petro-Sooner]

It would have been paid off next month..... UGH

[Whet]

So, are you going to make that last payment?

[soonerinabilene]

Tell the bank to send their repo man after it. They will find it faster than the cops will.

I'm getting a $400 check from ANPAC today because I haven't had a claim in 3 years. I don't know how they would be in a crisis with my home or car, but they have been nice when other people have hit me.

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

Oh and are you sure your truck was stolen or did you park it someplace different today?

[Petro-Sooner]

:mad:

[colleyvillesooner]

If you didn't have the job, you'd still have your truck. :D

[Petro-Sooner]

But with the job comes all the hot land chicks. So yeah, its a trade off. :D

I'll be the leg breaker...but there's gonna be a fee for that!
