Navigating Transportation After Your Vehicle is Totaled

Introduction

When your car is declared a total loss after an accident, the stress can feel overwhelming. Beyond the shock of the crash itself, you’re suddenly faced with the challenge of figuring out transportation for work, school, or daily life.

At CAVR (Constitutional Advocates for Victims’ Rights), we help victims find resources that make this part of recovery more manageable.

Immediate Steps After Your Car Is Totaled

• Confirm with your insurance provider that the car is officially considered a total loss.

• Remove personal belongings before it’s towed away.

• Ask about settlement timelines and what to expect financially.

Temporary Transportation Options

• Rental cars: sometimes covered by insurance, sometimes out-of-pocket.

• Ride-shares or taxis: flexible for short-term use.

• Public transportation: often overlooked but cost-effective.

• Borrowing a vehicle: leaning on friends or family until longer-term plans are set.

Planning for the Long Term

• Use settlement funds wisely when replacing your vehicle.

• Consider affordable, reliable options rather than rushing into a purchase.

• Explore community resources — some nonprofits offer temporary transportation support.

• Trusted auto replacement programs.

• Resources to cover gaps while awaiting insurance payouts.
