"No", not in most cases. I am assuming for the sake of answering your question that the facts are similar to this; you were in an accident you were not At Fault the other company has accepted liablity for the loss, and put you in a rental while your vehicle is being repaired you only had liablity coverage on your vehicle (the one in the shop). But of course need collision and comprehensive on the rental you are now using. They do not owe to pay for this coverage for you (subject to any state laws to the contrary, you could call your states dept of ins. for that answer, but I know of no states that require this). The presumption is, you didn't think it was necessary to cover your own vehicle for coll and comp so why would they pay for it on the rental? I know your vehicle was older, this one is new, etc. I totally understand, but I have seen very few of these where the 'at fault' company will provide this coverage, you can of course buy/pay for a damage waiver for this rental with the rental car company, or contact your agent, and ask if there is anything they can do about a 'short term' collision and comp coverage for this rental (but again I doubt this too).....sorry, If I can be of any further assistance please let me know more details and I will do my best to help.

Auto insurance business plan?

Your company needs commercial auto insurance if there are any vehicles being driven for business purposes. This includes rental vehicles, employees using their vehicles, or vehicles the company owns. Normal commercial auto insurance limits are $1,000,000 per occurence covering both bodily injury and property damage. (BI/PD). Physical damage coverage, towing, and rental car coverage can also be added.

You only get a rental if your policy specifies that you chose to pay extra to have rental car coverage. Having collision coverage is not the same thing as having rental. Collision coverage just covers the repairs to your vehicle. If you are not at fault for the accident, the other person's insurance will provide you with a rental car.

Could you get a rental car if i was in an accident?

A good percentage of rental car company business is around rentals connected to accidents and insurance. It's fairly common for an insurance company to pay for a person to have a rental car if that person's car is in the shop due to an accident. Even if you do not have insurance paying for the rental car, the simple fact of you having been in an accident is not going to prevent you from renting a car as long as your driver's license is valid and you have the ability to pay.
