We were told by a FEMA rep that it is a set rate, but he would not tell us how much that rate was. I cannot find anything online...*sigh*...does anyone here have any experience with This?

Thanks!

As far as I know , they give out a low interest rate loan. Which is equal to the current value of your vehicle.

"Standard rate"

That is what we were told.

Why would FEMA pay for a car? Did you not have insurance on that?

Are some of not from FEMA related areas?

FEMA will help those who lost cars who did not have full coverage. 2 of the cars we lost only had collision/liability.

Yes, FEMA IS NOT INSURANCE. They are just trying to get you in a vehicle so you can work.

They will not give you anything unless the lost car is the only household car
