Lost car keys for rental car.What to do?
Question by vikramkone:
Hi.
We recently rented a Toyotal corolla 2007 model car for rent from Avis and went to a beach. unfortunately the car keys got washed away and so we lost them. We called up a lock smith and he made a duplicate key which works for opening the car door and also driving the car.
My question is…since i have a full insurance from Avis, will i be reimbursed the locksmith’s charge (325$
) .
also he did make only the manual key and the remote to auto lock and open the doors which is common these days is also lost. He obvioiously cant make it…so what shud i do now.
do u guys have any idea how much rental agency will fine for Lost keys with remote..
any help wud be appreciated

your out of luck ask an insurence agent
lose the car.
1.) pay
2.) run around crazy yelling AHHHH!!!! i lost my keys to my rental car how much of an idiot am i? around town
3.)nothing
drive the car into the water
Since it was rental car and you got the insurance agreement, what you had signed probably said that in case of such, you agree to notify the company immediately, allowing them to fulfill their end. Since you went outside of the agreement, I could see it possible they charge you for the entire vehicle being taken out of their fleet. So what to do is think before you act.
