Rental car accidents can mar your vacation, can cost you a lot of money, and can be frightening. Rental car collisions in Miami and other Florida cities are all too common, unfortunately. Unlike collisions with your regular car, these crashes can result in disputes with the rental company and usually involve all the stress of being in a car crash in an unfamiliar city.
If you are visiting Florida and need to rent a car, keep in mind that you may be at risk for a rental car crash for a few reasons:
- You may be renting a car that is unfamiliar to you
- You are generally in an unfamiliar area, making collisions more likely
- You may be distracted by your vacation or the sites around you
- The car may have been driven by many people before you and may have mechanical issues
- Car rental lots can be located in remote areas, which can make driving out of them challenging
