What we document
- The comparable rental rate — for your class of vehicle, in your market. Drive a pickup? The comp is a pickup.
- The downtime timeline — date of loss to return, built from shop and claim records. Insurer-caused delays count against them.
- The demand figure — days × daily value, plus any rental shortfall they underpaid, in a format the carrier must answer to.
Daily rental value of a comparable vehicle × days without your car
You didn't rent a car? Doesn't matter. The loss is being deprived of your own property — how you coped doesn't erase the debt.
Bundled with Diminished Value
Loss of Use is strongest presented alongside a DV appraisal report — one demand covering both what your car lost in value and what its downtime cost you. Most clients handle it that way; we'll quote the bundle after the free screening.
