Rental car emergency preparedness action plan

Drive with Care in Your Rental Car this Winter

What to do after you’re involved in an accident while driving a rental car

1. Contact your insurance provider to file a claim

This step should look familiar. Good news: it’s the same if you’re driving your personal vehicle or a rental vehicle. Contact your insurance provider who will walk you through the next steps. Additional accident insurance is available at the time of reserving your rental car.

2. Exchange information with other parties involved

If another driver was involved in the accident, exchange contact information and personal insurance information. Take pictures, and document events while the incident is fresh in your mind.

3. Contact your rental car provider

Alert the rental car company of the incident.

At Metuchen, we’ve got 30 years of experience in the car rental industry and are skilled at working with insurance companies. Should a personal vehicle need repair, we can provide you with an insurance rental car, so a small setback doesn’t hinder your daily routine.

Life can get messy, especially in dangerous winter weather. Have peace of mind on your next road trip by renting a car, truck, or minivan from Metuchen Rent-A-Car by contacting us at (732) 548-2800.
