Well, another major difference is it's usually the car's owner who parks it and later has to pay the towing company, not some random member of the public leaving it there that the owner has no control over.
- darkpuma 8y agoCar rental is nothing new.
- Nition 8y agoBut the majority of towed cars aren't rentals. Also I assume if your rental car gets towed, the rental company will try to charge the cost back to you if they have to collect it, or you'll have to pay to get it yourself. You've already agreed to bring the car back to them on x day at y time. Could the scooter companies charge riders the towing fee?
- darkpuma 8y ago> But the majority of towed cars aren't rentals. Surely some of them are, so this is already a resolved matter. > Could the scooter companies charge riders the towing fee? Why not? They knew who last rode it, and they know were it was parked. If they believe it was parked legally, they can sue the towing company. If they believe the towing company was in the right, they could demand payment from the customer who fucked up. Is that not reasonable?
- Nition 8y agoHmm, it's tricky though. They know who rode it last but they don't necessarily know who last moved it. If I hated Lime I could grab a bunch of scooters and throw them into private property, then call scooter removal.
- hopler 8y agoDoes lime know when you exited the scooter? Is there an end of trip sign out?
