Don't forget most insurance policies require that they are notified of any accident even if there's no claim being made. Failure to do so can result in their policy being cancelled.
If a driver is incapable of driving into a bus station, a place designed to fit large vehicles, without hitting anything, then they shouldn't be driving a vehicle that large.
A driver should be able to judge whether they can get around a badly parked car, if they can't then they shouldn't be driving a vehicle that large.
Most big companies will be self insured up to a point - certainly for panel damage and wing mirrors I imagine.
Think some of the posts here are a bit harsh - drivers are human at the end of the day and mistakes/misjudgements can and do happen. Increased traffic, street furniture, the size of modern mirror arms, pressure off passengers, pressure off the company, fatigue etc will all take their toll.
