Frequently asked questions

If you have chosen to have Vehicle Rental coverage on your auto policy, COUNTRY Financial will provide a rental car during repairs if your damage is the result of a covered claim. We’ll pay for a similar vehicle to the one you own, up to $40 a day (including taxes and fees) and an $800 maximum. You may also choose to use the $40 a day on cab fair or a ride sharing service. If you’re unsure if you have rental coverage, log in to your account to view your policy coverages.

Just log into your COUNTRY Financial account to see whether “Emergency Roadside Service” or “Vehicle Travel and Tow” is listed on your auto policy. If it’s not, contact your rep to add the coverage.

If the COUNTRY Financial appraiser has determined your vehicle is a total loss, one of our auto specialists will contact you to discuss settlement, based on the value of your car in its pre-claim condition. If you have The Keeper coverage, you may be eligible for a brand new car of similar make and model.
