It is often difficult to work out whose responsibility it is when a company or rental car crashes into you, but it is quite simple. Liability attaches to the person and not to the vehicle.

However, he says, it is important to remember that there can be a split in the liability or because both parties can be liable for a percentage, it is not always the case that the one driver is completely guilty on its own. If the other driver was driving a rental car, whose responsibility is it then? Van Vuuren says in this case it is better to hand it over to your insurer that is an expert and knows exactly what to do. This will save you from all the frustration.“You must inform your insurer about the accident immediately or as soon as possible and give all the necessary information of the third party and further information required.

“For example, there will be an excess amount in the different circumstances such as broken windows, scratches or damage from an accident and also theft. Make sure that you understand the terms and conditions and what excess amount you will be required to pay in every scenario.”
