Is Uhaul responsible for the damage to my car?
Two weeks ago I went to a local Uhaul lot and rented one of their uhaul trucks. After signing all the paperwork and before taking off in the truck, I was asked by one of the sales associates to move my car to the back of the building. This seemed to be the standard process. So, I did as told and parked my car around back of the building. I then went on my way in the uhaul truck. When I returned about 3 hrs later, I was informed that my car had been hit. No one seemed to know who hit my car. No witnesses.The paint on my car was white; same color as the Uhaul truck.I’m not insinuating, but seems logical.Long story short, Uhaul is saying they are not liable for the damage done to my car.Is this the case?
Well, frankly I wouldn’t have left my car on their lot. I would have brought someone with to drive the car back home after I rented the truck. Is there a sign somewhere that says something on the order of “Not Responsible for…”? That’s usually the case. Sorry, contact your insurance if you have collision coverage. They are probably not responsible.
Basically if it got to a court, it would be your word against theirs as to whether or not they ‘told you’ to park behind the building. And unless you can point to a U-Haul truck with damage and missing white paint that matches the paint on your car, how could you prove it was one of their trucks? Even then, if you can prove it’s one of their trucks, how could you prove they were driving it? It could have been a customer.
