Well.. (I'm Back)

That's awesome! You can always check with the insurance company and see if they can cover a car rental while it's being repaired. When I had my car accident the insurance company rented a car for me to drive, but the other person's insurance took full responsibility for the accident so they covered me. The answer is always no if you don't ask. :)

I did ask, but apparently we only have that option with my mom's car and not my dad's, somehow that got overlooked until now because dad thought he'd opted for that on both of the cars.

lol Go figure. I wish you the best of luck. :)
