Have you been in a collision while driving around Pickerington or the neighboring communities? Are you worried about the logistics of leaving your vehicle at our auto body shop for repairs? You don’t have to pause your life while your car is in the shop. If you need a temporary set of wheels to navigate New Albany while your vehicle undergoes repairs, you can get a loaner vehicle at our auto body shop.
This option is often available at dealerships throughout the greater New Albany area or local auto body shops, like Byers Collision Center. However, the experience of getting a loaner car during collision repairs can seem harrowing. Join the team at our Columbus auto center as we break down how long you can keep a loaner car during repairs, as well as how the entire process works.
To get a loaner car during collision repairs, whether from a dealership far out past Gahanna or an auto body shop such as Byers Collision Center, you will typically need at least basic auto insurance. Unlike rentals, which charge a daily fee, loaner cars are typically free of charge if you qualify. However, loaner policies are generally stricter than rental agreements. Shops and dealerships often set daily driving limits and enforce strict usage rules that prohibit activities such as smoking and transporting pets. For details on our loaner policies, please contact us online or visit Byers Collision Center.
How long can you keep a loaner car while repairs are underway? Loaner cars are typically provided by an auto body shop or dealership for the expected duration of repairs, often just a few days. However, if your repairs take longer than anticipated, a loaner car may not be available for the entire time your vehicle is in the shop. In such a scenario, you might need to arrange a temporary rental car instead.
When considering a temporary rental, think about who is responsible for the cost:
Always contact your auto insurance provider for more details on your coverage.
