Car accident repair taking lot of time - traveling overseas in meanwhile

Hello everybody,

I got into a fender bender and reported to insurance company (at-fault) and the shop is saying it's going to take a minimum of 4 weeks to get it fixed.

Issue is I am travelling oversees/home country in 2 weeks for an extended vacation (Tickets, time off from work etc. already taken/planned).

Is there a way Insurance company will allow me to postpone the repairs for once I come back from vacation ? Is there a provision like that ? What are my options ? What should I do

Any help will be great.

Thanks
Nishant

    Yes, you can wait until you come back. Just let the adjuster know. It's common for body shops to be backed up with work, or waiting on parts.

    Or, drop off the car before you leave? Maybe, they'll get to it, before you get back.
