Navigating the aftermath of a car accident is daunting for anyone. But for tourists, the unfamiliarity of a different city, combined with the intricacies of legal and medical processes, can be especially overwhelming.

The process of lodging and winning a claim from a Rental car accident
The process of lodging and winning a claim from a rental car accident differs from that of a regular vehicle collision. Here’s why:
Multiple insurance policies
Rental agreement clauses
Vehicle unfamiliarity
Mistakes to avoid when dealing with Rental car accidents
Not reporting immediately
Neglecting paperwork
Overlooking insurance details
Determining the worth of your Rental car accident claim
Much like any accident claim, several factors come into play:
Severity of injuries
Degree of fault
Property damage
Specific Rental car accident laws in Las Vegas
In Nevada:
- Every owner of a motor vehicle registered or required to be registered in Nevada must continuously carry minimum liability coverage of at least $25,000 for bodily injury to or death of one person, $50,000 for two or more people in one crash, and $20,000 for property damage (NRS 485.185); which policy actually responds after a rental crash, yours, the rental company’s, or the other driver’s, depends on the rental agreement and the coverage in place.
- A rental agreement may make the renter responsible for a “loss of use” charge while the vehicle is being repaired; whether that charge is owed depends on the agreement and the facts, so ask your attorney.
- Nevada’s statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally two years (NRS 11.190(4)(e)), measured from when the claim accrues, while an action for injuring personal property generally has three years (NRS 11.190(3)(c)). Different deadlines and exceptions can apply, including that the period does not run while the injured person was under 18 or insane when the claim accrued (NRS 11.250), so ask an attorney which deadline governs your claim.

Rental car accident FAQs

(702) 633-3333 Free consultation · Available 24/7 Or send us the details onlineI had a minor accident with a rental car, should I still report it?
Absolutely. Rental companies usually require all accidents, regardless of their severity, to be reported immediately. Failing to do so may violate the rental agreement.
Who pays for damages in a rental car accident?
The responsible party will depend on the specifics of the accident, the rental agreement, and the insurance policies in place. It could be your personal insurance, the rental company’s insurance, or the other driver’s insurance.
Is the process for a rental car accident claim different from other car accident claims?
Yes. Rental car accident claims often involve navigating multiple insurance policies, understanding rental agreement clauses, and contending with the unfamiliarity of the rented vehicle.
What if I declined the rental company’s insurance and got into an accident?
If you have personal auto insurance, it may cover rental car accidents. However, without the rental company’s insurance, you might be liable for damages and “loss of use” costs. Always review your personal policy and the rental agreement before declining additional coverage.
The rental car had a pre-existing defect which caused the accident. What now?
Rental companies have a duty to maintain their vehicles in safe operating condition. If a defect or lack of maintenance on their part led to the accident, they might be held liable for the damages.
I was charged for "loss of use" by the rental company. What does this mean?
“Loss of use” refers to the potential revenue lost by the rental company while the car is being repaired. If the car can’t be rented out due to damages from an accident, the company might charge you for those lost rental days.
