Hail Damage Scam

[Tim O' Tei]

Back to the original poster.

Check the contract. Is there anything overing an "act of God" or "force majeure"?

By the way, the poster said he can only see the dents if he squinted, how do you make a camera squint ? - just wondering.

Actually, you both make good points... I DO carry a camera all the time (in my cell phone), and I thought of taking pictures next time to prove my innocence... But as it happens, the damage is so minor that I can't see any of it in the "after" photos ERAC sent to me (supposedly to demonstrate the damage!). If I had taken pictures beforehand, now I'd just have two sets of before and after pictures, neither or which showed any damage. Yet they're still trying to charge me over $1000 for something none of us can see in any photos.

Here's good advice. Do not rent a car from anyone. Damage waiver is the only way they (Enterprise,Budget,Avis, all of them make money) they are just hoping for a window,scratch anything to happen. Call your mom,brother anyone to get a ride. Hell taxis are cheaper in the long run. I did the Mgt training for 5 months before caught on. The cars suck and you are responsible once you drive off the lot. Walk before you rent!!!!
