Transportation Expense Reimbursement

Did you know that your NJM policy provides reimbursement for temporary transportation expenses if you're involved in a covered loss?*

Most people choose to rent a car, but you can also be reimbursed for using a ride sharing service or taxi.

If you decide to rent a car, there are three different ways that NJM may provide payment to the rental agency:

  • If you prefer to use Enterprise Rent-A-Car, NJM can set up your reservation and pay Enterprise directly.**
  • You may need to pay the rental agency directly and we'll reimburse you.**
  • NJM may be able to set up a direct billing with your rental agency. In this case, we will send payments directly to the agency.**

In most cases, coverage from your NJM policy will extend to your use of the rental vehicle, so you won't need to purchase insurance through the rental agency.

Learn more or contact your claim representative if you have any questions.
