out of pocket for accident...forgotten expense
out of pocket for accident...forgotten expense
In a parking lot my Pontiac minivan was rear ended by a Honda CRV. After getting a written estimate ($1222.55 cdn) the other driver decided to pay out of pocket. I waited until I was sure the cheque (1222.55) cleared before scheduling the repair. But I forgot to take into account that I would be without the vehicle for 3 full days. If I had gone through insurance I would have had 'free' access to a rental car. Live and learn.

Not to mention the deductible you would have to pay out of your pocket to the body shop. so if it cost you less then your deductible to rent a car for three days. You came out a head...
