A stolen car is a very bad experience. Here are things you need to do when your car gets stolen.
1. You should contact the law enforcement officer immediately so that a stolen vehicle report will be filed. Usually a car insurance carrier may deny a car insurance claim or will not process it if no police report was filed.
2. Make sure that you contact your car insurance provider after you report the stolen vehicle to the police. Regardless if you have comprehensive coverage or not, you should still inform your car insurance company about the stolen vehicle. Informing your car insurance carrier about the vehicle being stolen if the he one who stole your vehicle causes damages to other people’s properties. Make sure you also inform your car insurance provider if your vehicle has been recovered so that your car insurance claim will be processed quickly.
If you decide not to buy comprehensive car insurance you can verify if your car insurance policy will cover the rental vehicle.
