Aussieroaming Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 24 or 34 depending on how hard she partied the night before. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pmbkk Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 What about driving without insurance. I used to pick up cars in Gibraltar/La Linea on many,many occasions - on a few occasions I asked could I extend the contract over the phone - not possible if you don't come to the office. If you're not here you'll be committing an offence by driving without insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new2here Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I agree that the lack of clarity as to how long this car was overdue is quite relevant i mean i would reasonably think that if it was say within 0-24 or even 48hrs that the rental firm would keep the matter (of an overdue car) an “in-house” matter… trying to call the renter, email, sms etc… If there’s no contact after day 48hrs or the signs of potential criminal intent, such as phone discounted, email bounced back, etc, THEN i could see the rental firm going to the police.. So… if this lady kept if for days and days and wasn’t contactable or upon contact refused to return it, then sure- i can see police involvement … but for a short overdue? maybe not… time here matters IMHO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is this the same as buying a car here, turn up with your flip flops on the right feet and your all set to go The comment 'with the help of social media' suggests that the rental agency had already found out the address given by the errant renter was possibly bogus. As a footnote, I have bought my last two vehicles here in Thailand while not wearing any underwear. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuvoc Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 That would be Mae Chan I assume and not Mae Jan. It is a strange translation that one - Mae Chan is pronounced "Mae Jun" as people here familiar with that area will know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
