Tell me your hire car stories
Discussion
I remember a few years ago, hired a little Corsa D 1.2 for a week 'staycation'
(got the car for £100!)
Driving through a car park, looking for a space a woman in a 206cc pulled forward out of her space, T-boned the car, the door bent in such a way that you could stick your hand out the top part of the door!
I called the rental company, they said they would sort a replacement if that one was no good, or we could just sort it when i return it, I went for option two.
When i returned it, the woman checks it over with her clip board in hand 'scratch on wing mirror, large dent in door etc'
We step in to the office and she says i will have to pay the premium of £500 and this will be refunded when its sorted on the 206cc owners insurance, i told her that i have just returned from holiday and dont have the cash, she says its ok, not to worry then, i leave them my details just in case, but never heard from them again!
I found it quite funny, bringing a car back with a door hanging off (jaskass style!) and not paying for it, and they were absolutely fine about it!
Lets hear your stories!....
