Rental van damage, prep for legal action?

I think the ‘may’ just covers scenarios where you’ve been negligent.  Smash into a well signed 3m bridge when you’re in a well labelled 4m van is probably not covered.

They were negligent, just as every fault accident is the result of negligence. Some hire companies have a carve out for reckless behaviour, which goes further than basic negligence, like driving a high top Luton 3.3m into a tunnel clearly marked as 2.2m max height.

Ok, so, pedantry aside, there was nothing wrong with the example I gave.
