No because I charged up my insurance company and the party who hit me awhile ago for my rental. I wasn't going to pay 2G's for it.

Sorry about the bit of damage to your car!
Well, I'd either get a rental car or just leave it....don't think you have grounds to ask for the money otherwise (at least in the UK)
