Do you get to choose the Rental Car Company?

by Phil
(Florida)

A friend has an extra vehicle that he is willing to rent me. I would prefer to rent from him, rather than Enterprise which is what Fireman's Fund/Allianz would like me to use.

I am allowed to choose who I rent from? Can I just make a claim for the same rate that Enterprise charges?

Thank you for your help.

Answer:

Hello Phil,

Yes, you can rent from whenever you want. However, make sure your friends gives you receipts so you can show that you did pay and that this was not a loan (which the insurance company would not pay for).

Also, make sure that your friend is asking for a reasonable rate and not outside of the terms of your policy or the insurance company will not pay.

Good Luck
