I assume the drivers insurance is paying? That happened in our family

Replacement value of what is there, yes. They estimated 300 as a value
for it. I complained enough to get some padding in the payout, which
will be enough to get a nicer front door. One person said "buy 4 tiles
and hire a mexican mason for 20 bucks to replace the tiles". This is
the guy who had a big W sticker on his truck.

Their estimate for repair was 80 something dollars but agreed to 300
and change.

Once it's all settled I'll share my experiences with the company we're
dealing with. It's been a PITA, going on 2 months. Just a hint
though...avoid Enterprise Rent a Car.

I doubt any stoop replacement would be $80. I would have thought the
insurance company would take care of everything. And yes, do avoid
Enterprise Rent-A-Car--the charges exceeded 3X the "special rental
deal" cost.


10 bags concrete $50 or so. Gas to get it and return - $50. Nope. 80
bucks ain't gonna cut it just for the materials!
