If the at-fault driver has full coverage who pays for a rental car?

The at-fault driver's insurance company usually pays for a rental car if their policy includes rental reimbursement coverage. This coverage reimburses the at-fault driver for the cost of renting a car while their vehicle is being repaired or replaced. The amount of coverage varies from policy to policy, so it's important for the at-fault driver to check with their insurance company to find out how much coverage they have.

If the at-fault driver does not have rental reimbursement coverage, the injured driver may be able to recover the cost of a rental car through their own insurance policy. This is typically the case if the injured driver has collision coverage or uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.

In some cases, the injured driver may be able to recover the cost of a rental car from the at-fault driver directly. However, this can be difficult to do, especially if the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured.

If you have been injured in a car accident and you need a rental car, it is important to talk to your insurance company to find out what coverage you have. You may also want to speak with an attorney to discuss your rights and options.
