Who Pays for the Round-Trip Transportation Costs When the Other Party Is Fully at Fault for My Car Repair?

The insurance company may cover the compensation within the insurance limit, and any amount exceeding the insurance limit shall be borne by the infringing party. Below are the relevant details: 1. Article 17: If a victim suffers personal injury, the liable party shall compensate for various expenses incurred during medical treatment and the loss of income due to missed work, including medical fees, lost wages, nursing fees, transportation costs, accommodation expenses, hospital meal subsidies, and necessary nutritional expenses. 2. Compensation Obligations: In the event of the victim's death, in addition to compensating for the relevant expenses specified in the first paragraph of this article based on the rescue and treatment situation, the liable party shall also compensate for funeral expenses, living expenses of dependents, death compensation, and other reasonable expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and lost wages incurred by the victim's relatives for funeral arrangements.
I've been through several minor accidents, and when the other party is fully at fault, the round-trip transportation costs for car repairs are definitely covered by the at-fault party or their insurance company. The specific approach is quite simple: keep all receipts for transportation expenses, such as taxi fares to the repair shop or bus tickets. During the repair period, you may need to make multiple trips, and these small expenses can add up to significant savings. After filing a claim with the other party's insurance company, they will guide you on how to submit the necessary documentation for reimbursement. Once, my car was in the shop for two days, and I spent over 300 yuan on taxis, which the insurance company later fully reimbursed. I recommend handling this promptly to avoid losing evidence. Additionally, lost wages or other direct losses can also be claimed, but the focus here is on transportation costs. Remember, legally, this is a basic right, so don't worry too much—proactive communication is key.
