Car Insurance Question : Car Crushed By Thai Driver/ How To Get "loss Of Use" Compensation Aka A Rental Car

[Cekoia]

Hi,

Just for new year eve, an insured driver crushed the back of my car . He was at fault

My insurance company says I am on my own if I want to get the insurance of this other driver to pay for a rental car while I wait for the repair to be done.

Has anyone had such an experience ?

If so, what procedure/special form did they fill to get the insurance company from the guy at fault to pay for a rental aka compensate for "loss of use"?

Any advice would be most welcome.

Thanks,

FG

Right know, I am using my motorcyle to go to work (40km commute accross Bangkok and then sukmwit 77).

This id definitely not safe , that's why I need to get rental car while they fix mine.

No way under Thai law except to sue the insurance company of the guy who hit you or sue him personally.

Thats it.

This might be a little late if you're car is in the shop already. It's the body shop that will give you a loaner.

This might be a little late if you're car is in the shop already. It's the body shop that will give you a loaner.

That's how it works in the UK, you either get a replacement vehicle off YOUR insurance company (if you have a policy that provides one) or the body shop may lend you a banger.

Either way, you're unlikely to get anything of the other chaps insurance
