Is it necessary for Xi 'an's hotel to take responsibility for the accidental collision of employees who drive the customer Land Rover?

According to news reports, Mr. Jiang drove his Land Rover with a value of10.5 million yuan from Gansu to An, and stayed in a hotel in An at night. Because the parking lot is far away, Mr. Jiang chose the parking service of the hotel, left his car keys at the front desk of the hotel and went back to his room to rest.

But Mr. Jiang's car was driven out by Xiao Wang of the concierge the next morning, saying that he was going to pick up a friend, and he ran into a wall. However, Xiao Wang did not call the police to wait for rescue, but continued to start the vehicle until the vehicle turned off again. At this point, the engine of the car has been scrapped. What's even more amazing is that Xiao Wang himself doesn't have a driver's license and the insurance company can't pay for it.

It is reported that this car needs maintenance and the engine assembly and other accessories need to be replaced. The total cost is about 260,000 yuan.

So, should the hotel bear the loss? The answer is yes!

First, when Mr. Jiang checked into the hotel, he gave the car keys to the front desk. When the hotel takes the key, it has the obligation to keep it. Without Mr. Jiang's permission, it is impossible to give the key to others. Without Mr. Jiang's knowledge, Wang Neng Jr. of the Concierge Department got the car keys from the front desk, which indicated that the hotel was in breach of contract and should be held responsible for it.

Secondly, Xiao Wang who drives without authorization is also an employee of the hotel. He can get the key from the front desk and drive the car out of the parking lot, which shows that there are loopholes in the management of the hotel.

Therefore, no matter from which aspect, the hotel should be liable for the damage to Mr. Jiang's vehicle. After all, Mr. Jiang himself is innocent. If the hotel feels that it is losing money, it can also recover from the employee Xiao Wang.

Conclusion In fact, the biggest obstacle in this accident is that Xiao Wang doesn't have a driver's license, so the insurance company can't claim compensation after the vehicle collision. From this point of view, Xiao Wang is definitely culpable of punishment and is not worthy of sympathy at all.

However, according to news reports, the hotel is still unwilling to pay compensation. If Mr. Jiang is required to report to the police for prosecution, the court will compensate the hotel accordingly. This is boring, and it feels a little bullying.
