No. In fact, under the law, you have a duty to mitigate your damages. You need to get your car moved from the storage facility because once it gets towed, it gets taken to the tow yard and then it typically starts running a tab of about $20 to $30 a day.
The insurance company needs to be contacted immediately and they need to go and take it from the tow yard to a storage facility so that it will not continue accruing storage fees. Lastly, the liability carrier, once it has accepted liability, only has an obligation to provide with a rental car for a reasonable period of time and typically a reasonable period of time is going to be the period of time in which it takes for them to talk to their driver, find out whether there was what the liability issues were and essentially how the wreck occurred.
More importantly, make a determination about whether your car is going to be a total loss or not. Once they make a decision about whether they're going to repair your car or whether it's a total loss, their obligation to provide you with a rental car ends at that point. It's actually in your best interest to resolve your property damage claim as quickly as you possibly can.
