Understanding Your Policy
If you have comprehensive car insurance on your Tesla, you might be eligible to claim the cost of renting a “like-for-like” vehicle for the duration of your repair.
This is true even if you haven’t selected the “hire car” option in your insurance policy. That option only applies when you make an “at-fault” claim.
When you’re in an accident and make a claim against the other at-fault third party, your insurance company could recover all costs related to the disruption caused by the accident, including a rental car and personal injury.
However, there may be limitations and specific partners your insurance company works with, so it’s important to work with a business that has experience.
Choosing the Right Rental Company
While there are benefits to letting your insurance company handle your rental car, they may not be able to get you back in a Tesla. They also won’t be able to guarantee a rental vehicle ready for you to drive away from the Tesla Authorized Repairer in Brisbane on the same day you drop off your Tesla for repairs.
At shareEV.com.au, we specialize in providing Tesla rentals and can ensure all the perks of Tesla ownership are set up for you, like Tesla app access and continued business use, even if it’s rideshare. When you rent from us, you’re essentially arranging your own rental and then claiming a reimbursement of the rental fee back from your insurance company.
Alternatively, you could use a specialist insurance rental agency, but they may not have a Tesla in stock ready for you.
Renting a Tesla After an Accident
To rent a Tesla after an accident, follow these simple steps:
- Confirm with your insurance company that you will be arranging your own rental vehicle during your repair.
- Visit shareEV.com.au and complete our rental onboarding process via the form on this page to ensure we have a Tesla available for you.
- Drop off your Tesla for repair and pick up the rental Tesla to drive away and use.
- Once your Tesla is repaired and ready for collection, return the rental back to the repair center and pick up your vehicle.
- To recover your costs, get an official tax invoice for the rental and contact your insurance company to add your rental costs to your claim.
(TIP: You can submit your claim via email to your insurance company, but you’ll need to call them to get the funds transferred back to you.)
