Rental Reimbursement

One type of additional coverage that can be added to your policy is rental reimbursement. This coverage would reimburse you for either your daily rental charges or your policy limit, whichever is less. It can be used after any covered collision or comprehensive loss (assuming you carry collision and comprehensive coverage).​

K4 and K5 Coverage

K4 and K5 coverage can also help with post-accident “loss-of-use” costs. Loss of Use (K Coverage) reimburses the Insured for a flat sum to assist with expenses incurred for each qualified disablement on a covered vehicle.

  • Qualified disablement means a loss covered by the Comprehensive or Collision sections of the policy.
  • This optional coverage may be purchased for any vehicle covered by Comprehensive and Collision coverage.
  • Collision or Comprehensive loss must exceed the deductible amount on a covered vehicle.

 

Available limit options are:

  • K3 & K4 – $25 per day up to a max of $500 for extra expenses resulting from a Collision or Comprehensive loss.
  • Coverage will pay $500 in the event of a total loss (regardless of salvage value).
  • If loss occurs over 50 miles away from Insured’s home, K3 & K4 will pay up to $200 extra expense to return the repaired vehicle to Insured’s home or destination.
  • K3 & K4 are written in combination and cannot be a stand-alone option.

 

  • K5 – $50 per day for extra expenses resulting from a Collision or Comprehensive loss.
  • Coverage will pay $1,000 in the event of a total loss (regardless of salvage value).
  • If loss occurs over 50 miles away from Insured’s home, K5 will pay up to $500 extra expense to return the repaired vehicle to Insured’s home or destination.

Exchanging Insurance Information After an Accident

Unfortunately, failing to collect the other driver’s personal information and provide them with your own can delay the claims process. On top of that, in Nevada, leaving the scene of an accident without providing personal information is technically a hit and run, which could result in criminal charges.

Does Lying To Your Auto Insurance Company Get You A Better Rate?

Your auto insurance premium is based on a variety of factors, your personal info may cause you to pay more or less for your coverage than your neighbor pays. The application process for auto insurance can be complicated, and not verifying important information or even deliberately lying can have serious consequences.
