I got in a minor accident and my car is going to be in the shop for a few days. insurance says they cover up to $23/day. i rented cars in the past and i remember it started at around that price and nothing came out of pocket but i went to the enterprise car rental website and the cheapest car is $37/day. why is that? did they go up that much in price in the last 3-4 years? i doubt that is possible. can someone explain?

i think it's cheaper directly through the insurance company as opposed to just going in and paying out-of-pocket yourself.

well car rentals went up in the last few years last time i remember i rented this car it was cheap i rent it for two days and they charged me $175 so if you get it for 23 dolllars i think is the best offer that they have anyway you arent gonna pay nothing for that car insurance is going to pay for you.

Your insurance company can arrange a rental for you and will handle the billing directly. For $23.00 a day it won't be much (Chevy Aveo or similar) but it beats walking.

Like anything, the longer you get em for the less they are. There are rates for cars for $100 week if you can find em. Go to the Web and find the lower weekly rates.

Try Rent-A-Wreck. Their cars may be "older and clunkier", but they're reliable and a LOT less expensive than the major chains (Enterprise, Avis & Hertz).
