Towing Expenses after a Collision Loss

Q

Our insured had an auto accident in Florida and then had the truck transported to his company headquarters in Arkansas to be repaired. The cost of this transportation was about $4,000. The insurer said that it only owed for the cost to transport the truck to the nearest place from the point of the accident for the repair work. This would have cost about $600. Naturally, the insured is upset with this decision. What is your opinion?
