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.

If you have chosen to have Road Service coverage on your policy, COUNTRY will pay up to $100 per event for a tow to the nearest repair shop or location of your choice. The $100 per event also includes help for things like locking your keys in your car, a flat tire, or a jump start. If you’re not sure if you have Road Service coverage on your policy, log in to your account to check out your auto coverages.

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.
