Has anyone here had any luck getting Geico to pay for a loss of use claim when the other party was 100% at fault? At first, they wanted to give me a $20 rental, which I refused as that was not an equivalent. Closest I found was a lower-trim Model 3 going for $130 per day (+fees) on Turo. Halfway through the repair process, I kept calling and they said they *might* get me into an equivalent rental. They would see if it'd be covered after I provided a receipt. Maybe.
Now I got my vehicle back half-repaired and used my wife's Fiat 500e during the time my Model 3 was in the shop. I no longer need a rental vehicle therefore I'm trying to claim the loss of use as cash. A person that hit me before had AAA and they handed me cash from the beginning with no problem. I've been reading about this for California and it should be doable:
I just don't know how to explain this to the insurance company. Anyone have any advice on this?
