There are times when something can happen when you are rent a van<\/a> resulting in a form of damage. This is naturally not ideal as a tenant, but unfortunately, accidents can happen. A type of damage that sometimes occurs with our buses, for example, is overhead damage. As the damage and its consequences are not always clear, this blog explains what overhead damage is and what it means if this form of damage occurs when you rent a bus from us.<\/p>\n

What does overhead damage look like?<\/h2>\n

Overhead damage is a type of damage that often only occurs with buses or other vehicles over 1.90 metres high. This type of damage is located 75 cm below the roof edge, measured from above. This can happen, for example, due to a collision with another vehicle, a tunnel, or a sudden change in height. To prevent overhead damage, there are a number of things that you, as a renter and driver, should pay close attention to while on the road.<\/p>\n

It is important that you always drive carefully and responsibly. This includes driving at the correct speed and not taking unnecessary risks. It is also useful to know the height of your vehicle. This way, you can pay attention to the maximum clearance heights of, for example, tunnels, bridges and viaducts. Of course, at such moments, it is also sensible to ask for assistance from your co-driver, for example.<\/p>\n

When hiring a van, we warn about overhead damage. The van has stickers indicating its height. When driving under a bridge or through a tunnel, the height is always indicated. Therefore, please check if the rented van will fit under that bridge.<\/p>\n

Other forms of damage<\/h2>\n

Naast bovenhoofdse schade zijn er ook nog andere vormen van What a shame<\/a>. There are various types of damage that a driver cannot do much about. This includes fire damage or windscreen damage when a crack appears, as well as hail damage or vandalism. Damage without a perpetrator, meaning damage where the perpetrator is unknown, is also a type of damage that a driver cannot do anything about. But what influence do the different types of damage have on the lessor of the bus or car? And when is who liable? In the final section, we will discuss liability for damage, including overhead damage, in more detail.<\/p>\n
