Hi Everyone,
Thanks in advance for any advice you might have. I'm not a Dodge truck owner yet but I rented an extended cab this week and am in love. However due to a tight parking lot and bad call on my part in where to park the bigger truck I just backed up against a telephone pole and dented the door and damaged the mirror on the drivers side.

My question for anyone who might have an idea is a rought estimate for the repair.

The driver side mirror is probably going to need to be replaced and the door is pretty well dented including scratches down to the metal.

And you didn't get the extra coverage?
Will your regular instance cover it?
Deductible will be far less than repair cost. That door needs to be reskinned and painted.

Yeah hope you have insurance, that won't be a cheap date to repair! Some credit cards have rental insurance, check there to see if you have it!

It's gonna be more expensive than the extended coverage would've been... Won't be cheap

I'd take a wild guess at 2k not knowing internal plus depends where you take it for repairs - it can vary significantly.

I learned last week that if you rent a car using a Paypal account or the Paypal Debit card, they have an insurance rider on it.

You are looking at 1,500-2k most likely I had someone back into mine so a bunch of replacement panels and paint it came in at $5,600.
