Question
i was told by insurance company that i denied car rental coverage.  when i took my vehicle to repair shop i signed a release form and saw that it stated on the bottom that Texas Law requires auto insurance to pay for rental for a minimum of 30 days.  is this true even though i denied car rental coverage.  can u shed some light on this issue.  thank you

Answer
Hi Alex,
Being in California, I have never seen the form that you refer to.
If you will scan the document into your computer and then do a 'copy and paste' into a follow-up question, I would be glad to read it and give you my opinion.
Sincerely,
Bennie
