The aftermath of a car accident can be a stressful and overwhelming experience, but with the right communication and support, it can be manageable. In a recent blog post from Test Lucky, the YouTube channel that follows the adventures of Lucky the Tesla, the writer shares their experience with the repairs process and rental car expenses after a recent car accident.
The writer begins by highlighting the excellent communication they received from both the Fort Lauderdale Collision Body Shop and GEICO, the insurance company involved in the claim. They praise the consultation provided by Mario at the body shop and the updates and ease of use of the GEICO website for uploading documents and tracking the process.
GEICO quickly accepted liability for the accident, allowing the repairs process to begin promptly. The estimate for the damage to Lucky came in at $17,576.97, significantly higher than a previous accident in 2019. The writer expresses hope that the repairs will be completed within the estimated four to six weeks timeframe.
Switching gears to the rental car experience, the writer shares their positive experience renting a Tesla Model 3 from Avis. They praise the fast charging capabilities of the rental vehicle and the convenience of not having to pump gas for the duration of the rental period.
The writer also breaks down the rental costs, including a breakdown of various fees and taxes associated with the rental. They express confusion over some of the fees, such as the concession recovery fee, and invite readers to share any insights they may have on the matter.
Overall, the writer is pleased with their rental experience and looks forward to continuing to enjoy the features of the Tesla Model 3, such as autopilot and vehicle hold. They also tease an upcoming video of their trip to a Taylor Swift concert in the rental Tesla Model 3.
