How will they lay blame to a damaged vehicle? Car rental companies have become viciously aggressive at forcing customers to take responsibility for damage, and it falls on the last guy to drive it. I'm embroiled in a false claim with Enterprise now.
Better buy the supplemental insurance if you don't want this monkey on your back.
- philsnow 13y agoI think the aggressiveness depends on the particular location. In the last year I've rented cars in Richmond, BC and Honolulu, and in both locations they were super laid-back about little dings and scrapes, even one scrape that I knew damn well that I put in it while wedging myself into a tiny spot in a parking garage. I came right out and told them about it when I returned the car, they looked at it and said "No biggie. We'll let you know if it's going to cost anything to repair." Then I spent the next four days worrying they were going to charge my credit card $300 to fix a tiny scrape, but they called me on the fourth day and said that they weren't going to charge me a cent.
- Debugreality 13y agoIf you have travel insurance and most people do be sure to check if it covers rental cars as this is often a far cheaper option and already included so no point paying for insurance twice.
- dionidium 13y agoMost people have travel insurance? It seems completely unnecessary for most trips.
