can I get reimbursed for rental vehicle.....

can I get reimbursed for rental vehicle from other persons insurance?

What is the name of your state? Michigan
I was rear ended by another vehicle on a busy interstate. The man that hit me was at 100% fault for the accident and was ticketed. My vehicle sustained $4800 and was in the shop for 13 days. The collision company that fixed my car did not have a loaner car available for me so I had to pay $735.00 for a rental car during this time. My insurance company says I don't have rental coverage.It did cover all damages as I had broadened collision. Can I get reimbursed from his insurance company for the cost of the rental? Would the "mini-tort" law in MI cover this? I was told that in small claims court you can only sue for up to $500. I'd appreciate any input I can get!

submit the rental bill to his carrier.

As stephenk said, you should be submitting this to his carrier for coverage. if his carrier has already acknowledged 100% fault, you're in EXCELLENT shape!

Michigan is a no fault state, it is up to the policy holder to include rental coverage on their own policy. The at fault party's insurance company will probably say "Too bad".

then sue the other driver in small claims court for at least the $500 limit.
