We rented a car from the Payless las vegas tour grand canyon Car Rental at McCarran International Airport, he says. At the time of our initial inspection of the car, we noticed a very small scratch — about two to three inches — on the rear bumper.
Since he d rented the car on his Amex card, Patel contacted American Express and believed he had coverage through the card. Amex, which offered secondary coverage, paid for $500. But Payless wasn t done with Patel yet.
Today, I received another bill from Subrogation Management Team, which is working as Payless Car Rental s representative, for the balance las vegas tour grand canyon of $494, he says. Upon asking the representative for the copy of loss of days proof, she told me that it is personal information which cannot be provided to us.
Patel believes Payless, working with Subrogation Management, has inflated the cost of the repair las vegas tour grand canyon and is forcing him to pay for something for which he isn't responsible. They ve already received $500 from Amex for something he didn t do — and now this?
I wish I would have taken a picture of that, he said, but based on my multiple rental car experiences (including international rentals), I never thought las vegas tour grand canyon that something like this could ever happen. I trusted the agent when she told me that it was a minor damage which does not need to be mentioned on the form.
The other thing that s stopping me from getting involved are the companies: Payless, which almost always ignores my emails, and Subrogation, which has a well-deserved reputation las vegas tour grand canyon for aggressively las vegas tour grand canyon pursuing all claims regardless of their merit. I m not sure how far I d get.
I don t think that my insurance company should pay for something that I did not do, he told me. I opened a claim with Amex, thinking that they might fight for me, since they know exactly what happened. The truth is I feel terrible that Amex had to pay for something that was not even caused by me.
Its that many people las vegas tour grand canyon on this forum are avid travelers and have experienced some truly underhanded and nefarious schemes from travel companies. Unfortunately, it appears that we see certain recurring themes. The theme that is relevant to this discussion is that certain car companies seem to have a substantially las vegas tour grand canyon higher rate of dubious claims.
I m sure this whole thing is real entertaining for the thousands of innocent travelers who have been scammed by unscrupulous rental agencies that are looking for any way to up their profits, knowing that they with minimal effort they will get a large percentage to pay up.
As for damaging their fleet a 2-inch scratch in the paint can net an agency thousands, as evidenced right here in this story. You don t really think this one poor guy is the only renter they went after for over $900 for a tiny little scratch, do you?
It seems to me he blew it when he used Amex to pay for it- or part of it. By doing that he acknowledged responsibility for the scratch, whether or not he caused the damage, and became responsible for the entire amount. I believe he could still demand to see records las vegas tour grand canyon of what he is supposedly paying for but that does not require a consumer advocates help.
My last car rental was pretty humorous. I d been reading these articles on here and had vowed to be extra careful documenting pre-existing damage. The form with the little picture of the car actually said something about being able to ignore really small things, but I was going to make sure I marked any damage of any size at all. It was in good shape, so there were only maybe 3-4 things I marked. When I handed the form back to the worker (who hadn t been at the car when I was filling out the form) he promptly said Let s just be safe and marked dings on every panel of the car I hadn t already marked.
Don t back away from what you said, sweetheart. You said that rental companies deliberately damage their own cars in order to make damage claims. I responded directly to that claim, saying that it was ridiculous. Do you have any proof to back this claim up, other than your belief that all rental companies are evil?
Also, I left the rental car industry a long time ago to go into pharma sales. I care not to name the company, as judging from your past posts, your level of maturity is such that you could not handle a disagreement without trying to make trouble for my career. What I found, and it is definitely the Case on this website, is that consumers are somehow under the hilarious impression that whenever a car is damaged under the renters possessin, that the renter freely admits to such damage. Unfortunately, consumers will tape bumpers, use home paint jobs, and invent stories of pre-existing damage to get out of paying for damage. But in your world of fairly lilies and unicorns, I m sure that every renter takes full responsibility for damage caused.
yes, when I rented a car in FL, and was told by the rental Co. that scratches under 3 inches don t count, I asked to read the policy that said that. They could not find it, (and were amazed I read the entire contract before signing for the car) so I noted all tiny dings and scratches. Glad I took the time because it allowed time for car to dry off (just washed) showing las vegas tour grand canyon several large ones I had initially missed and probably would have been charged for.
Well, if you actually READ her post, she didn t say they took a sledge hammer to the car. And one thing I can tell you for sure. There ARE agencies out there which pay their employees a bounty for every scratch they find. I could totally believe that somewhere, sometime, some 19 year old kid took the key and scratched las vegas tour grand canyon the car and then reported the damage to collect the bounty.
The practice of paying bounties for finding damage is limited to franchise operations. I have friends that currently work at corporate rental operations at Herz, Enterprise, Avis, Alamo, and National. NONE of them receive bonuses for finding las vegas tour grand canyon damage, although some do face disciplinary action for missing damage, which is completely reasonable: rental companies know that customers are rarely honest or sometimes completely unaware about vehicle damage, so they have to protect their most valuable asset.
Again, my response is based on fact. Yours seems to be based on a dislike of car rental companies las vegas tour grand canyon in general. Perhaps you should simply stop renting las vegas tour grand canyon cars to avoid any problems. Based on your response, I m sure rental agents everywhere would appreciate it.
This is the worst of the worst example of the types of cases that I think should have a moratorium. I vote that you expend your considerable effort las vegas tour grand canyon helping those who at least make an attempt to help themselves.
My personal opinion is that the people defending rental agencies are likely rental agency employees. Why? Because these false damage claims are well known, well documented scams. The only people who would be willing to defend the scammers are the scammers.
Please do not reply to me. I have no desire to be called sweetheart by a stranger again. By the way, I wonder if you might have considered how utterly inappropriate it is to call another man s wife sweetheart ?
Funny thing that. I just rented a car from National last week. They had the paper already filled out for me as minor scratches everywhere before I even saw the car. Turned out it had only 1200 miles on it and no scratches or dents I could find. Still took my after photos before I turned it in, just in case they wanted to add something after my return.
I find it helps to belong to the loyalty programs for whatever rental las vegas tour grand canyon companies you use. They seem to be less likely to scam a repeat customer than someone off the street. The programs I joined are all free and I haven t even used some of them but once. It s not perfect though. A Thrifty guy made a bee-line for a nearly-invisible dent in the bumper that I knew was there before I took the car, and one that I had photographed. I offered him the picture, and attested in writing that it was preexisting damage and I had the photo to prove it. Never heard about it again.
Another Thrifty story I noticed and photographed a scratch on the passenger door at the time of rental, but they didn t give me a form to report it. I asked the checkout lady to give me a form and she claimed they didn t use them anymore. She offered and I agreed to have her write the report on the rental contract anyway. Never heard about that one again either. :-)
On multiple posts on this thread, you accused people of being rental agency employees. All of the posts you replied to stated an opinion different from your own. It doesn t matter if you said anything about anyone disagreeing with you or not. It s implied in your comments. On several different posts where people have stated disagreements, you have replied with accusations they are rental employees. It s clear that it is impossible for you to comprehend that someone can have an opinion different from your own about THIS PARTICULAR case without being a rental agency employee.
BTW, quit being a coward by making vague, pointless statements like, it s my opinion and stand behind what you say. You didn t say, it s my opinion las vegas tour grand canyon you are a rental employee or probably a rental employee. You said another rental agency employee , definitively labeling the poster as a rental employee. See the difference?
las vegas tour grand canyon Also, as I stated in an above post, I USED to work for a rental agency, and no, it wasn t Payless. So it may be easier for you to understand, let me break it down: I HAVE NOTHING TO WIN OR LOSE BASED ON THE OUTCOME OF THIS PARTICULAR DAMAGE CLAIM.
One of the main reasons I left the rental las vegas tour grand canyon car game was having to deal with difficult people all day long who though that their 3 economy rentals a year with our company entitled them to free upgrades to SUVs when they came in. It got annoying. If you hate the rental car industry that much, you should send a message and stop renting cars completely. Based on your demeanor and responses here, I m sure rental agents won t miss you. I certainly wouldn t.
Exactly. All we have to go on is someone s word. I used t
