Loss of Use Appraisals

Every day without your vehicle costs more than you think.

When an accident leaves you without your vehicle, you may lose more than transportation - a loss could include lost time, inconvenience, and lost efficiency. A Loss of Use claim helps you recover those hidden costs, whether it’s rental fees, rideshare expenses, or the simple value of being without your car. Claim Complete Auto Appraisals provides detailed and comprehensive appraisals for all eligible loss of use considerations.

Find out what your time without your vehicle is really worth. Based near Tacoma, WA, we help drivers from Bellingham to Vancouver - and everywhere between.

What is Loss of Use?

Even if you were provided with a substitute rental, you may be owed loss of use.

When you are involved in an accident, in most cases you will lose the use of your vehicle at some point. It may not be drivable directly after the accident, or you may not have access to it during the repairs. Loss of use pertains to the loss of use of your vehicle. Examples of loss of use are:

The class difference between your car and your rental and/or additional fuel expenses.
Borrowing alternative cars
Having to make arrangements for alternative transportation due to passenger restrictions of the substitute vehicle provided.
Having to take a taxi, or rideshare home from the accident.

Common Loss of Use Miscalculations

Sometimes loss of use can be miscalculated or reduced for delays. The key in these scenarios are what factors were outside of your control.

Shop delays, storage, towing delays, or insurer contact delays can all impact your loss of use eligibility. We review all of these items when assisting with your loss of use appraisal and provide documentation supporting your loss of use claim, including during times you had no control over. For some items, there are strict regulations on what must be allowed, and we apply detailed knowledge of state requirements in our calculations of your lost vehicle use.
