Rental company insists NSF owes it $67,000

[Little_prince]

something's fishy. maybe the insurance doesnt cover rental of vehicle.

[Happily1986]

What is the difference btw collision and accident? How come the rental company can deem that it's a collision and not accident?

 

The bigger question looms, that is how come the rental company got the effrontery to deem itself as an authorised entity to pass judgement on this matter? Oh, did we miss something like maybe the company was also doubling as an underwriter?

"So we told the father that his son admitted he caused the crash because he was tired. This is deemed a collision and not an accident," he added.

 

Though he did not elaborate, he might have been referring to the highly-publicised case involving Chinese national Ma Chi, who died after crashing his Ferrari at Bugis on May 12. The insurers, AXA, are arguing before the courts that the incident was a collision and not an accident.

 

ruled the insurer or is the rental company just say only? If insurers, Ma Chi case has really set the precedence to deny claims

intentional risk taking behaviour aside, who really wants to intentionally wreck the car? lets leave out the fraudsters.

The truth will reveal soon...believe this NEO rental wun be the only one practicing if so

[Tayspiderx]

Scully COE car and still wana claim 67k

[Darryn]

Collision is self deemed by the rental company - where got insurance company say so before even make report?

 

Seems most likely explanation is

a) gangster company

b) Not a proper rental car

c) Their insurance cover wouldn't have included this driver, but they close one eye and rent

 

Less likely explanation

Insurance is an optional extra and kayu driver never buy

every accident are usually due to someone negligence wor. how can justify in this formate.

[Vextan]

i think no matter what, the driver is only liable for the excess. the rest of the loss the rental company has to claim from insurance company or bear it themself.

Ehhhhhh I don't know

[Deckbuild]

If that being said, tailgating the car in front and crash into it should be consider a collision since tailgating is intentional and therefore should not be able to claim from insurance?

 

It's so grey in this area......

 

If I'm not wrong Ma Chi case still not closed yet right?

just word definition lah bro.

no intent to categorize, nor i agree with anything

[Moredhel]

Accident or collision depends on how much u fork out for the lawyer.
