We've seen/heard an accident every single trip we've done - there are actually an amazing number of shunts which happen at junctions within Disney itself!

My brother had an accident when he was driving from Frisco to Vegas. A huge truck changed lanes without signalling. When the police attended and took a statement from my brother, he said 'In England, you're supposed to indicate before you change lanes', to which the officer replied 'You're supposed to do that here, as well.'

Anyway, the car wasn't damaged enough that he couldn't drive it to his destination, and it doesn't didn't affect his ability to hire another one the following trip (when he came with us).

At the time we really couldn't get anything out of them except "No" even the police at the scene who studied our insurance couldn't budge them. Could have understood it if we had be at fault!
I'm sure they were in breach of contract and the senior police officer who rang them the next day I believe told them so.

We had a little accident before we even left mco garage luckily for us nobody was hurt and then we just chose another car. I was slightly worried as we hadn't even entered the main roads yet We were lucky to have staff around to help us otherwise we wouldn't have known what to do! Have read the comments on here and it's interesting to know what to do if it was to happen on the road!
