I was backed into in a parking lot a couple of weeks ago. The other driver admitted total fault-so far, so good. Anyway, her insurance company is going to send me a list of body shops to get an estimate. I already got one on my own from a highly reputable, certified body shop ($1,000). The claims adjuster today told me that they're only going to allow me $25/day for a rental car (I'm driving a full size car), which seems nuts to me. However, upon looking at the IL Division of Insurance website, it looks like I'm going to be victimized by the other driver's lousy insurance. If I'm reading this right, I have to accept the estimate that I'm given because that's all the other insurance company is going to pay. Also, I'm stuck with the $25/day rental rate, so long as the insurance company (American Service) can come up with a company who can rent me a car for that amount.
Do I have any options here, or am I going to pay the price for the other driver's low-end insurance?
