Saving money with the rental car

Good news! I talked to my ICBC adjuster, and the rental car is going to be covered under BF’s insurance. Not all of it, but most of it. What isn’t covered is the day I’ll have it out in my name, and any extra insurance I take out in my own name I have to pay for. Up to a maximum of $500.

So I reserved a car for 1 week for $187.54. That included a $35 off coupon.

I called National, and if BF needs the car for less, they will prorate my bill. And if he needs the car for longer, I just have to call in.

When it’s all said and done, I’ll probably save about $150-200, depending on how long he needs the car for. I’m hoping everything gets wrapped up next week, and BF can sign the paperwork as soon as he gets home. Right now I’m really stressed out about it. He was so understanding about what happened, I don’t want to inconvenience him at all. I want it to go as smoothly as possible … and I don’t think I’m going to feel okay about all of this until the paperwork is signed and BF is in a new car.

In other crash-related news, all of our possessions from the car are now ready for me to pick up at the claims centre. But I might wait and get it next week when I have the rental car – beats taking a cab there, since I don’t want to take a bus and lug all of that crap around with me.
