Fuck me. I’ve been making my payments, it’s literally 6 months from being paid off. I called all the towing companies nearby and nothing. Now I’m gonna have to deal with cops and insurance and AAAAAAAA.

Has anyone had this happen before? Like does insurance normally pay for a rental?

I just wanted to vent ooooooooooooooh

    Check your insurance documents. A claims adjuster will investigate to make sure it was actually stolen. You need to inform the cops since they’re the official word on the car. If the insurance decides it’s a loss then you will be asked to sign over ownership of the car to them so in the event it is found they have the title to it. They’ll give you market value plus sales tax (as if you bought the car today). So research to search for comparable vehicles (2016 accords with similar mileage and trim level) and save the searches to a PDF. If you have rental car coverage then they’ll set you up if not then you’re SOL. The process took me about 5 weeks. At least in Florida they’re obligated to do something about it within a relatively short timeframe

      Thanks for the info! I had to Uber to work this morning so haven’t had a chance to talk to my insurance.

      The process took me about 5 weeks.

      They’ll give you market value plus sales tax (as if you bought the car today).

      So probably less than I’ve paid towards it so far, fuuuck me.
