You pay for the damage. Good luck!
If you paid for the Uhaul rental with a credit card, sometimes they will pay for the damage. I know that American Express does this.
your car insurance will cover it . my friend rolled a uhaul and his car insurance covered it
Check with your insurance company, if you rented the uhaul with out there ins, then you must be covered by your own. if you are than your covered. just pay your deductable, and dont forget the police report.
It depends if it was a Uhaul trailer or a Uhaul truck. With a trailer, the insurance you’re buying on it covers comprehensive and collision damages. Liability on a trailer extends from the vehicle towing it, so whatever you have for liability limits on your vehicle should cover the damage.
If you rented a Uhaul truck, then you’ll have to check with your insurance company about how things work in your state. On rentals, you’re often covered. Depending on where you’re living, you might have the same limits as the vehicle you own with the highest coverages.
I’d suggest talking with your insurance company. They can’t put in a claim without your permission, so it doesn’t hurt to ask. Good luck.
You will be paying. The vehicle was in your control and your negligence caused the damage.
It is possible that you have a clause in your auto insurance policy that covers rental cars but most likely not commercial vehicles.
It was not the building fault that you hit it so make sure you look for those clearance signs next time.
First of all – U-Haul trucks are protected with min. financial limits for the state where the accident occurred, as long as you are operating the truck with a valid drivers license and are over 18 years of age (operating within the terms of the contract). You do not have to purchase additional insurance for that. Which is primary your own auto insurance or U-Haul\’s depends on the laws of the state where the accident happened. As you did not purchase U-Hauls Safemove insurance you will owe for the damage to the U-Haul and your auto insurance may or may not cover that damage. Be sure to report the accident to both
