Want to rent a car in Las Vegas – How is the driving situation there?

admin — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 12:41:44 +0000

I am going to Vegas soon and am a relatively new driver. I do not currently have a car – and therefore do not have insurance.

If I were to rent a car (staying with a relative not on the strip) is that a bad idea? What are the odds of getting into an accident there? (not my fault – others)

Really can’t afford to replace a rental car if it gets damaged – but I really want to be able to drive around the strip etc.
Relative lives between S. Sandhill Rd. and Palm Street

I totaled a rental car in Texas. HELP!?

Hi. My car is in the shop being repaired by my insurance company after being flooded in a storm (my understanding is that this doesn’t count against me since i had no control over it). I’ve never been in a wreck before but I hit someone from behind in my rental car (Enterprise) and totaled it. I didn’t purchase their insurance but used mine instead (Farmers) because I’m stupid. What are the likely consequences. I have no money, no house, and lots of student loan debt. What can happen to me? Can they sue me? If they do and I don’t have money what happens to me?
Yeah, I have full cover insurance because my car in the shop isn’t bad off yet. So I’ll have to deal with the deductible and raised rates? That wouldn’t be so bad considering. Will defensive driving help? I got a ticket as well.

Car insurance question —-total loss reimbursement and car rental??? In Texas.?

My sister’s boyfriend was driving my sister’s car and was crashed into by a drunk driver and totalled her car. The insurance company is dealing with him, instead of her! I think this is extremely unusual! Anyways, moving on….They provided a rental for 3 days and have yet to pay the damages for the car. My questions are these…

1. Is there a policy that the insurance company pays for the rental until they pay the car reimbursement?

2. The car is actually worth more than the loan. The insurance company told my sisters boyfriend that they would not give more than 1,000 (the loan is 1200). The cars nada value is between 2,700 and 3,900. Are they supposed to pay the lesser of either the car value or the amount of the loan, I was under the impression that the insurance would pay the car value, so this all sounds fishy.

3. Are they required to give you enough to buy a replacement of equal value?

I would really appreciate any help clarifying these issues. Thanks!
