Do you have to pay your deductible if the accident was not your fault?
Karenpearlmyahoocom
No. The other person's insurance should pay everything, including your rental car use during the time that your car is being repaired.
UNLESS the person that hit you is claiming innocence and there were no witnesses. Then you may have to pay the deductible if your insurance company can not get them to pay.
