If a stone falls from the sky and the windshield of your rental car breaks, you are responsible for the damage. This point is clarified somewhere at the end of your rental car contract: you are financially responsible for damage to the car while it is in your care, regardless of whether it caused the damage or not. You probably already know that, but it may not have an impact on taking out additional insurance for your rental car. What are the chances that this will happen to you?
It can happen to you
It is true that the likelihood that your rental car will be damaged is not high. However, it is also true that this probability becomes irrelevant once your rental car is damaged. Here is a scenario to consider:
You arrive at the airport, collect your luggage and go to the car rental company. You fill out the documents and are instructed to select a car in the parking lot. All cars are parked outside. Airplanes fly above. You find a car, throw your luggage and are on the way. Two days later you leave the car without incident.
Three or four weeks later you will get one from the car rental company later. If the letter came from Alamo (which is now part of the Enterprise), it can be said: "Our damage repair unit has received a damage or loss report for the vehicle you rented ... If you have not done so, please contact the insurance company and/or credit card company to report this claim. "
Your word against hers
At this time, it cannot be proven that the reported damage did not occur while the car was in your care - even if you have never seen the reported damage. In fact, it's not inconceivable that the stone fell from the sky and knocked lightly on the car's windshield before you put the keys in the door. But unfortunately, it doesn't matter. This damage is your responsibility.
If you contest the claim, the car rental agency will notify management of the delivery location at which the damage was reported. You can expect these managers to confirm that the damage is undoubtedly your responsibility. From there, you have no choice but to figure out how to pay for it.
Do your own hikes
According to an Jaipur representative, counter staff at airport service centers generally do not "turn over" the vehicle before you leave. You just don't have time. The only way to protect yourself from existing damage to a rental car is to take your own walk. Check the car carefully and look for scratches, drops, and dents. Go back to the service desk and ask someone to document this damage. Don't expect this process to be easy either. If you don't have time to get around on your own, you may not be enthusiastic about your request.
If you return the car, ask your companion to inspect it immediately. Ask in writing for something that indicates that the car was undamaged when it was returned. Be ready to wait. If there is a problem, you can take pictures of the car after handing over the keys. and check here - Jaipur to Bundi taxi.
After what happened
Once you are no longer liable, you can use your car insurance, any insurance provided by the credit card issuer, and your own money to pay for the damage. First, check your deductible in your insurance policy. Then ask your credit card issuer. Sometimes the insurance provided by the card pays at least the deductible. If you don't want to risk a rising car insurance premium, you can bill the insurance provided by the card and do the rest yourself.
