rental car insurance scam

Fraud Protection Advice needed regarding a Budget Rental Truck?

I rented a truck from Budget and returned it within a few hours, no incidents and no problem with the return. When I rented, I paid extra for insurance.

Two weeks later, I get a garbled message from a Budget rep saying there was a claim against me for hitting a parked car. (A completely bogus claim).

I’m trying to figure out who the scammer is and the best way to handle it.

I figure scammer could be the guy who rented it to me or the agent at Budget who left the garbled message. I’m thinking perhaps because I had bought the extra insurance they are trying to scam their own company.

Or, some roving thug somehow was able to find the “truck number” on the truck and then called in the claim.

Any ideas on who is scamming me and the best way to protect myself? I rented it under my company name so I”m thinking the scammer assumed we were a “big” company that wouldn’t follow up.

They have to be able to prove it was you driving the truck at the exact time and place the accident occurred. I’d tell them to go kick rocks. Keep in mind their insurance only covers damages to their rented truck, not another vehicle. Not that it should make any difference in this case.

If I got a ticket while my mom was in the car with me, do we still count as uninsured if I’m not on the policy?

I was driving and I got a speeding ticket. I’m from Nashville TN, but I got my ticket in Ohio. The day I got the ticket, the officer didn’t ask me for insurance. Today I got letter saying that I failed to provide proof of insurance and that my license is suspended for three years. The officer didn’t even ask me for it. Anyway, my rant aside, When I got the ticket, I wasn’t on the insurance policy. My mom however, who was with me at the time in the passenger seat, was. So, does it count as uninsured, because the car was insured. Btw, I’m 16.

Drivers are insured, not cars.

It’s illegal to drive without being insured in every state in the nation.

Needing some advice on fuel efficient vehicles with the factors of insurance and safety.?

Ok, at the moment i own a 2007 dodge ram 1500 5.7 hemi V8. it gets around 12 MPG city and 13.8 MPG highway. I just recently got accepted to NADC in nashville TN. for where i live its around a 6 hour drive one way. So gas to come home to visit family and go back will be absolutly outrageous. And i love having a truck as opposed to a four banger. (4 cyl car) and ive read and heard that a diesel truck, preferably a 2500 dodge, get around 19 MPG city and 24 MPG highway. i know that diesel is a little more expensive, but if i get one of the two small cars ive considered, a honda civic si, or a cobalt ss tc, i know insurance will be higher than with that of a truck. anyone with personal experience with one of these vehicles if u dont mind, please message me at vthokie4me1@yahoo.com on messenger. or leave a post on here. thanks alot.

It seems that you are trying to balance owning a small vehicle with owning a truck. It is a little like the apples and oranges thing.

Most people would own a truck because they need one and can afford to pay the extra expenses associated with a boxy vehicle designed to haul loads. If they need a cheaper vehicle for commuting they might get a smaller vehicle.

It sounds like you don’t want to give up the bigger vehicle. There are cheaper alternatives. I think the Ram is one of the worst vehicles for gas mileage. The Sprinter is much better and it is a diesel. I would suggest you haul down whatever you need and then sell the vehicle or start a hauling business on the weekends to make the vehicle pay for itself.

Compare Car Insurance Online

10 years ago, would you have contacted one car insurance provider and agreed to commit to that initial quote? Of course not, you would have phoned three, four or even more because the bottom line is that ‘you want the cheapest price for the product you want’. It’s always been this way, and always will be. Especially with today’s ever so competitive markets, you have a range of companies constantly at war, fighting to secure more clients than their competitors. This is the perfect opportunity for you to save a fortune!

Price comparison websites are an extremely useful tool, you type in your criteria and they search a range of companies who meet your needs, displaying the prices of all results in seconds. The results provide you with the relevant details from every provider as if you yourself had contacted them. So, no more do you need to scan through the directories phoning numerous providers, being put on hold and wasting hours of your precious time. Imagine how much time and effort this would save?

However, despite the many positives there are dangers of comparison sites which you should be aware of. Some comparison sites will receive money from the providers to ensure their company details come up all the time even if it is not the cheapest or best suited. You will need to look for an independent comparison site who favours no company more than another. These will truly find the best price for what you are after.

Using online car insurance comparison sites is now the most simplistic method to compare car insurance quotes from the UK’s main providers, displaying instant results. Ultimately, enabling you to source the lowest price for your car insurancesaving you more money.
