I accidentally damaged my rental car by backing into a pole, which caused a cracked tail light and some scratches. I didn’t buy the rental company’s insurance but had third-party coverage, so I filed a claim.
Months later, the company asked me to pay around $8,000, which seemed excessive. Instead of paying, I looked into the local laws and found that they could only charge for actual repair costs, not estimates. I used tools to review my case, draft responses, and push back.
After coordinating with my insurance and credit card coverage, I confirmed the repairs had already been paid for. I challenged the company with this information, and eventually, they dropped the claim completely.
