His insurance company should start paying for the rental car when yours no longer will.
Unless Canada does it differently.

Who are you again? I don't recognize the handle although you sound pretty intelligent and would probably make a good addition to this board. Stick around.

In the U.S. the law varies from state to state, and in Canada it probably varies from province to province If the law only applies to bodily injury losses, your insurer should reimburse you for your loss of use of your car as primary insurance (which they have, up to the limit). Then they should continue to reimburse you for the rest of your rental expense, and then recover the entire amount from the other insurance company.
Check with your broker, even he might not be aware of this. Also if you have a copy of your policy, read it and see what it says. It should be very clear on this point.

houdini1 - are you referring to driver's car insurance as it affects the rental car portion of it, or the whole car insurance policy and what it can and can not protect for him?

If that is the case we have to go to plan B. If that $1800. dollar limit can be raised to a higher limit by paying an extra prem., and driver was never offered that option, he could possibly recover his loss under his broker and/or insurer's errors and omissions coverage.

This year, our dopey government promised to cut insurance rates by 15%. To try to keep their promise (buying votes) they reduced rates a bit, but now lost income is limited to a much smaller amount, not the real amount, If you want to be covered for your real income, you have to buy extra insurance depending on how much coverage you have.
I wasn't at fault, so truck drivers insurance pays, but, my company has to get the money from them. I assume my company has the rider for full replacement value - I paid $55 for that, so I guess they have to cover that, that is why they are trying to avoid paying $2600 for the Tech Pkge.
It would be good to find out if I am covered until I have a car....or at least until I accept their offer. I don't have a copy of our actual policy, but, once we get this Tech Pkge thing settled, I will ask how we get compensated for the few physio and massage sessions my wife has had, and I will ask if I am covered for a rental until my claim is settled.
Another thing that isn't fair is I am entitled to a similar car as the E400, but if I am limited to $1800 I will reach the limit a lot faster if I actually rent a luxury car

And the post about straight roads is very true - and when you get off I-90, there is often almost no traffic. Occasional posts warn of speed enforcement (one of those areas where they throw money away by using planes), but it is far from constant. I think many people in this area have hit their fastest speeds east of the mountains. Just gotta watch out for Ma and Pa Kettle out for a spin in their unrestored 48 Ford truck, wildlife, and tumbleweeds.
Our hotel experience after the shows was awful - a couple or small group in the next room was drunken bouting it pretty loud. Didn't get much sleep that night. We just drove around Yakima briefly before the rock shows so I have no real personal impression ta give of Yakima itself, only accounts I've read that it has a few areas ta avoid.

When in Yakima I go to tourist favorite Miners, when in ML next time I'll probably stop by Chico's Pizza, which hasn't changed since I was a little kid. I am sure hotels in Yakima are a crapshoot - don't cheap out.

As for suing, that's mostly an empty threat as most policies (maybe all) have a mediation clause in it. You would be able to sue the other driver and/or their insurer but not yours.

I know I wouldn't be talking to the neighbors after I did it so that could be a plus.
But it would give the neighbors sometime more to talk to each other about.

I took the BMW X1 back today, since I had reached my limit, and they quoted me $99 a day to continue - Discount (this one is about $35 a day). I went to Enterprise just down the street and was given a choice of 3 full size cars, Sonata, Altima (the one recommended by JMonroe, as a chick magnet), and a Titanium Escape. I was tempted by all 3, it was a hard decision but I went with the Escape. Only 2400 miles on it! Still has Sirius. Nice having Keyless start again, with the BMW I would sit in the car and realize I needed the key.
I like the way the Escape is very solid, and has all the creature comforts. Even nice ambient lighting, soft blue on the door panels changes to red when you open the door. Even the cup holders have a lit up blue ring around them. Steering is pretty good, firm and solid feeling, though there is noticeable torque steer. Seats are comfortable.
I have only driven it about 10 miles, but I do find the instrument panel a bit too jazzy for my taste, though controls are easy to get to and see.
Overall I am impressed with the solidness of the car, and I think I would feel more confident driving this than the Chryco 300, and more solid than the Fusion. The BMW was rock solid and really fun to drive, but lacked all the creature comforts like a rear camera and keyless.

I used to enjoy helping out and answering questions and the "spirited" discussions we used to have. I don't know why but it's like I lost a strong circle of friends. I feel badly and see no solution so I have basically lost interest.

Look at it this way, you get to have a new start in life....how many can do that?

Having said that, every online service I've ever used had the ability for an administrator to reset your password to some random string and then send it to you to let you pick one you can remember. Don't understand why that can't happen here.

I would think someone in Edmunds tech should be able to restore your original ID or, at the very least, assign all of your original information and badges to the new ID. You've earned that.
though if you go to a new machine, should have no history and let you log in from scratch In theory.

Craig - man, I'm not hip ta this situation. There has ta be a way ta fix this and I don't think Craig's online service would fix this one - Craig oughta just pick one (ID) and continue ta go with it. We all know who you are, Craig, isellhondas4, is that one autofilling in? If so, I'd just stick to isellhondas4. And stay with us. In the end, it's your decision. I'd like ya ta stay on in here, sounds like everyone else would, too!

Also noticed that *driver is driving rentals, apparently his new E-class is not here yet
My heart says E300 but my wallet says C300, how do I split the difference? A new Lacrosse or something.....different, but what.
Matthew was far enough offshore so we only got a few inches of rain showers and moderate winds, nothing more than 40 mph, thank G-d. losing ones power for even a few hours ain't much fun, those 9 days after Wilma was like a life's sentence! One never realizes how nice a warm shower is or even warm clean clothes is until they are taken away for an extended period of time. Wilma traumatized me literally, and whenever I hear about any storm starting to get close, I get a bit anxious and go into "hurricane mode". Make sure we have petrol in all 4 vehicles, get extra food and other needs and basically do all I can to be somewhat comfortable. With Matt, my oldest decided to stay at home with her boyfriend up in West Palm Beach which got hit a bit harder than we did. But, I was in constant contact for days before reminding her what she needed to do to get ready. guess I am one of those dad's who needs to make sure their kids are taken care of at all costs. i would've preferred them to be down here, but she's an adult now so I had to defer to her. Didn't like it but hey, she's grown up just like we taught her to...she took responsibility for herself.

I sat in a C300 and I really liked the feel and ambiance. If it wasn't for the big trips to Florida and if my budget allowed only for a C that is what I would probably buy.
They probably have great deals on left over 2016 E300 and E400s. Just me, but it might be worth it to try one out, actually try a C and an E, and then you will at least know whether it is worth looking into further.
I have a rental car until Oct 29th. Fly to Florida on Oct 30. We can get by with one car in Florida, the Passat. The new car will come in December, we fly back Dec 14, and will drive to Florida on about the 20th. That's the plan.

BTW, a side by side comparison shows the E300 and C300 are almost identical except for size.

There is noticeable torque steer even though it has AWD. Just a guess but I guess normal mode is FWD.
All in all a great rental car for $220 a week.

I'll be in FL for a few days in November. I hope to have a nice rental car too (driving from ATL).

I remember visiting my Brother and SIL after Wilma hit down there but the only damage they had was the loss of their screened in pool enclosure. It took them several months to have that replaced because almost everyone in their community and many many others down there had to have theirs replaced too. As for power, I think he said they were without power for about 2 days not 9 like you.
I know Mike is still in the hospital but his placed was probably spared too.
You guys have great weather which is a draw for people from the North like where I live, but man, when it turns on you I guess all you can do is be prepared, leave for a few days, or duck.

You can always do like I did when I retired. Mrs. j wanted to go on a cruise to celebrate. I don't know why she felt she had to celebrate, I was the one retiring. So we went cruising in March of 2015 and in May of 2015 I bought my '15 Genny.
You don't think I wasn't going to celebrate do you?
Try it you'll like it. There is nothing wrong with a designer garage.
