Abstract
One or more devices in an accident detection and recovery computing system may be configured to determine that vehicle accidents have occurred, collect and analyze accident characteristics and other related data, and providing customized accident recovery services. Mobile computing devices, alone or in combination with vehicle-based systems and external devices, may detect accidents or receive accident indication data. After determining that an accident has occurred, mobile computing devices and/or vehicle-based systems may be configured to determine accident characteristics, and then determine the damages or potential damages resulting from the accident. With an estimated assessment of damage, an accurate estimated of the amount of time to repair the damaged vehicle may be calculated, thus an automatic determination of the amount of time a user may need a rental car during the vehicle collision repair may occur.
