| Recent Questions | Can I use my roadside assistance if I'm in my friends car? When you have roadside assistance through your insurance company, the service is only available on the vehicle that the coverage is listed. There are other roadside companies that will allow you to use the roadside no matter whose vehicle you are in. What do I do if my vehicle was totaled while parked?I would definitely involve your insurance company and let them know about the situation. The other driver's insurance company should be paying for your damage up to the limit of that policy, but if it doesn't cover everything then your current company should be able to help cover the rest. Do I need a police report to file a claim?Accidents that occur on private property do not require a police report in order to file a claim. Your familiarity with the other driver does not impact your ability to file a claim, however the fact that he is uninsured means that you will have to pay your deductible for the repairs. Do I contact the other driver's insurance company if they hit me while at the gas station?If the other party hit your vehicle, and it's pretty clearly they're at fault, then you should contact their insurance for repairs. Parking lot accidents or accidents that occur on private property can be difficult to determine fault, but it sounds like the incident is pretty straight forward. See More Questions | Are deductibles company specific? While they are some company-specific deductibles, the standard ones are $500 and $1000. So it's unlikely you won't be able to get the desired amount for your collision or comprehensive deductible. Is my friend covered if they borrow my vehicle?Generally speaking, a person who you give permission to drive your vehicle should be covered by the policy on the vehicle. It's called "permissive use" and is normally allowed with most companies. Will homeowners insurance cover a collapsing ceiling?It really depends on what is causing the collapse of the ceiling, but it is very likely to be covered unless the collapse occurred due wear and tear or negligence. Ultimately that decision is going to be up to your homeowners insurance company based on the terms and coverage of your policy, so you will need to contact them directly the inquire about your coverage. Can I use my parent's address if my college zip code is causing my rate to increase?The zip code where the vehicle is primarily kept is what needs to be used for insurance purposes. Depending on your age, company, and residential state, you may have been able to stay on your parent's policy, but since you now live off-campus you will have to use the address where you live.
