Rental reimbursement is a type of coverage offered by some auto insurance policies. It is designed to cover the cost of renting a car while your own vehicle is being repaired or replaced after an accident or other covered incident.

When you have rental reimbursement coverage, your insurance company will pay for a rental car for you to use while your own vehicle is in the shop. The amount that the insurance company will pay for the rental car will be limited by the amount of rental reimbursement coverage you have purchased.

In the event of a total loss or theft of your vehicle, the rental car will be available to you until the insurance company has paid out the claim. This means that you will not have to pay for the rental car out of your own pocket, as the insurance company will cover the cost.

It's important to note that not all insurance companies offer rental reimbursement coverage, and the terms and conditions of the coverage can vary depending on the policy. So, it's always good to check with your insurance company and check what is covered and what is not.
