  • Date, time, and location of the accident
  • Information on the other vehicle: Year, make, model, color, registration number, insurance company, and, if possible, the policy number
  • Name and address of the owner of the other vehicle
  • Name and address of the operator of the vehicle, driver’s license number, and date of birth
  • If the vehicle was towed, the location and phone number where the vehicle is located
  • Names of any passengers or witnesses
  • Any injuries that occurred as a result of the accident
  • If your vehicle is unable to be driven due to an accident and you will be in need of rental transportation, Enterprise is open 24 hours a day and can be reached at 800-261-7331

If you are the operator of a vehicle involved in an accident where the damage to any one vehicle or property is over $1000, or there are any injuries, you should file a Motor Vehicle Crash Operator Report within 5 days of the date of the accident. Once the operator report has been completed, you can return it to our agency, and we will make sure to get a copy to all parties that need a copy.

If you are reporting a claim on your homeowner or condominium policy, your insurance company will need:

  • Date and time of the loss to your property
  • The dimensions of the damaged area
  • If there is damage to carpeting, fences, swimming pools, etc., please indicate the age of the damaged items.

If your property is damaged due to a covered peril, your homeowners insurance will pay for the reasonable costs incurred by you for the necessary measures taken solely to protect your property from further damage.  If you need to make repairs, try to take pictures of the damaged area before they have been made and be sure to keep all your receipts.
