My car was drivable after a recent accident so they ordered parts first and I started the rental car the day I dropped off the car for a 5-6 week repair job. Total rental car bill was almost $1900, but the other guy’s company paid it all since he was at fault. The days of renting a car for $30-$40/ day are long gone for major rental car companies.

You're absolutely right. I remember when it was the peak of covid and rental car companies (i wont name them) couldn't get any more cars, they were charging ~85-115 / day for out of pocket rates on purpose to sway people from not renting a car so they had more for the insurance companies. Those contracts are extremely important to them. It's better now, but it's still difficult.
