How long does it take for a car insurance adjuster to give you a damage estimate?

I have my car rear ended in a parking lot. There isn't a lot of damage but a good size dent. The other parties insurance company contacted me and I'm suppost to meet with a guy today to give me a damage estimate on my vehicle. They told me I could pick any body shop i wanted to get the car fixed. How long will it take him to look over my vehicle and give me the check to get it fixed?

1. usually the adjuster will tell you the estimate they give for the damage then you get a check with in a week.it depends on the agency that is paying you for the damage.you should take your car to a few different body shops and get estimates and then tell the others insurance company the estimate you got.usually other insurance will go the cheapest route.
2. It depends... What happened to me was I took my car to the body shop and had the check sent there. I was only out of a car for 3 days! Good Luck
3. they are usually pretty quick about it. I have had an estimate done and work begin within 24 hours. They did not give me the check though. It went straight to the repair shop.
4. How long will it take for my tomatoes to grow? How long will it take for my grass to grow? so I guess the answer is: how would we know, we are here and you are there.
5. For car insurance the quick way to get a low quote is do a rate comparison on auto policies. Make sure that you compare similar policies with the same limits, car type, location, etc so that all things are a good comparison. What I usually recommend is an online comparison quote at http://www.lowratetoday.com since they have discount insurers and will give several prices on car insurance polices.
