Automobile Insurance companies have unfair car rental agreements
No further untrue statements may occur about car rental prices, following accidents may occur.
Prices for damages done to rented cars may be set only by licensed repair experts of companies that meet consumer approval, not according to monthly payment agreements between car rental companies and repair companies!

Why is this important?
While repairs or searches for replacement of cars involved in accidents happens, it's common for insurance to be sold that is represented as providing a rental car that is the same quality as the original one, at no charge to consumers.
There is the impression that consumers may use any car rental company, but in reality, the insurance company pays a rate that is acceptable to only a couple of car rental companies with whom long standing contracts are in place to accept amounts that aren't competative with existing car rental rates.
Those contracts need to be outlawed, so consistent rental rates exist, for all car rental companies.
Car remtal companies coerse consumers to pay non conforming, much higher fees for damage done during the period of time the car is rented. That has resulted in monthly contracts held with tepair companies that agree to keep any needed repairs to cars, within a monthly amount. When many cars require repair in a month, "corners may be cut", and when few cars require repairs in a month, the costs to renters for a repair increases, beyond the standard in different communities. That cost, which must be bourne by consumers. The rental cpany sets the prices for cars they repair, to reflect their costs. That practice needs to be more standardized, as consumers are made to pay highly inflated costs for repairs, then. The only alternative is being banned from renting any car in the future from that company. When the former situation exists with insurance companies having preferential agreements, that renders
Consumers liable for imcreased car rental costs, which negates the prise that such rentals aren't covered, as intimated and constitutes false advertising! Blackballing comsumers should be outlawed!
