Ok. I am moving from colorado springs to okc. i rented a uhaul with insurance and by the time i loaded everything, my truck was past the return date. when i went to uhaul in co. springs to get my car attached to the uhaul, my truck was already past the return date. so i asked the uhaul people if i should pay for the extra days now or when i get to okc. the lady said pay when you get to okc. so the rental date for the contract was sept. 7. the return date was sept. 11. i didn't even get the trailer attached until the 13th.
so on my way to okc we decided to stop in hays, kansas for the night. i was going north on a two-lane hwy at 5-10 mph. i signaled to go left and as i was turning a car behind me tried to overtake my in the southbound lane. she clipped my driver side door and drove another 200 yards in a ditch.
so i go to the hospital and get treated and released.
here's where the fun begins. my insurance company won't cover me because the uhaul is excluded in my policy. the uhaul insurance won't cover me because my insurance apparently expired when i passed the return date (eventhough they were going to charge me for the late days when i got to okc.)
the police report is finished but i can't get any info. from them yet. so, i have an undriveable uhaul with all our crap loaded and uhaul won't give me another truck until the towing bill and impound bill are paid. we've been stuck here since friday and eventhough i'm sure she's at fault, i'm nervous about not being covered for insurance.
i'm thinking that uhaul should honor my insurance until i dropped the truck off in okc since i was aready late and the lady told me to pay the charges in okc?
thoughts? advice?
