I’d stick with the coffee and deep breathing then Donna.
Actually I’d nag the broker a bit more – It’s common enough for insurance companies not to cover hired vehicles under normal circumstances but I’ve never heard of one refuse to cover a temporary replacement vehicle. Maybe the person you were talking to was mistaken.
