Inbound: the customer calls

Body shop and adjuster rentals set up with the claim number

A driver whose car is at the body shop calls, and the adjuster calls, and the shop calls. The agent takes the claim once, sets up the direct-billed rental and saves your counter three rounds of phone tag.

When it starts

A driver, a body shop or an adjuster calls about a rental while a car is being repaired.

What the agent does

Takes the insurer, claim number, adjuster and allowance, and reserves the class the claim covers.

What your team gets

A direct-billed reservation with every claim detail, ready before the renter walks in.

How it works

  1. Sorts who's calling

    The renter, the body shop or the adjuster. Each gets the questions that fit them.

  2. Takes the claim

    Insurer, claim number, adjuster's name and phone, and the daily allowance or class the insurer approved.

  3. Matches the class

    Offers the class the allowance covers, and explains an upgrade at the renter's own cost when they ask.

  4. Sets the pickup

    At the counter, or picked up from the body shop if your branch does shop runs.

  5. Opens the billing

    The reservation is set to bill the insurer, with the renter's part, like fuel or extra days, noted.

  6. Keeps it current

    When the shop calls to say the repair is running late, it extends the rental on the claim and tells the adjuster.

What your team gets

  • The approved class or daily allowance on the booking
  • Shop pickups added to the driver's run

  • A list of open claim rentals by insurer
Set up with you: The team sets up a connection to your rental software and the insurer billing portals you use, and loads your shop pickup area and the body shops you work with.

Questions

Does it decide what the insurer covers?

No. It books what the adjuster approved. Questions about coverage go to the adjuster.

Can body shops call it directly?

Yes. Shops can set up and extend rentals for their customers with the claim number.

What about a renter who wants a bigger car?

It offers the upgrade at the renter's own daily difference from your rates, and notes it on the billing.
