Do I owe money for damages if I was at fault in an accident while driving a U-Haul truck?

I was at fault in an accident when I was driving a U-Haul truck. I did take out their Safemove insurance, but not Safemove Plus. I damaged another car and flipped the truck on its side (no injuries to me or the other party). What damages do I have to pay for?

“Since you purchased U-Haul’s Safemove insurance, it will cover all accidental damages to the truck and damages to your belongings inside the truck (up to a certain limit). However, since Safemove doesn’t offer liability coverage, you’re on the hook for the damage to the other car.
If you have car insurance for a personal vehicle, it’s unlikely that your policy will extend coverage to the truck, as it’s probably above the weight limit stated on your policy.
In the future, you may want to consider buying U-Haul’s Safemove Plus insurance. It offers an additional $1 million in supplemental liability insurance that covers property damage, injuries, and legal action involving third parties.”
